More than 60 people are set to move into brand new homes in Shoalhaven following the completion of a 39-unit complex in the riverside town of Bomaderry.
The new units near Bomaderry train station reflect the Minns Labor Government commitment to building more housing near existing transport and infrastructure, supporting residents to stay connected to work and services.
The NSW Government invested $4.8 million in the project through the Community Housing Innovation Fund (CHIF) on top of a significant financial contribution from Southern Cross Housing to transform a site previously occupied by four derelict buildings.
With land donated from Shoalhaven City Council, Southern Cross Housing will now own and manage the complex of 25 new social homes and 14 affordable housing units.
The modern complex includes:
- 10 studio apartments
- 17 one-bedroom units
- 8 two-bedroom units
- 4 three-bedroom units
- BBQ and play areas
The first residents have already moved in with priority given to women over the age of 55, one of the fastest growing demographics at risk of homelessness and housing insecurity.
This project complements the Minns Labor Government’s historic $6.6 billion investment into social housing, which is delivering 8,400 new homes across New South Wales, the largest housing investment in the state’s history.
