We are building new social housing at Dittmann Road in Avoca, Bundaberg.

Key features of the development

The new development will provide homes for Queenslanders who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

The new development will be delivered in 2 stages:

  • Stage 1 will provide homes for approximately 20 people. It includes 6 homes made up of:

    • 4 3-bedroom
    • 2 4-bedroom homes.
  • Stage 2 will provide homes for approximately 70 people. It includes 40 homes across 7 2-storey buildings and 2 3-storey buildings. The buildings will be made up of:
    • 6 1-bedroom
    • 34 2-bedroom homes.

The homes are architecturally designed, modular homes, which are built offsite and transported to the site for installation. Modular homes have many benefits—they are well designed, sustainable and can be installed on site faster than traditional construction methods.

The new development is well located, close to a shopping centre, public transport, schools and services including the Bundaberg Hospital.

Features of the development include:

  • communal green space
  • car parking
  • screening to bedroom windows, decks and balconies on the new homes to ensure privacy of the tenants and neighbouring properties.

The homes are accessible in line with the Social Housing Design Guidelines.

Bundaberg Housing Service Centre will manage the property and the tenancies.

Timing

Stage 1 construction will be completed and ready for people to move in soon.

Construction on Stage 2 is planned to start late 2025 and be ready for people to move in early 2026.
