It’s all part of the NSW Government’s $6.6B Building Homes for NSW program, which will deliver 8,400 new social homes and upgrades to 30,000 existing ones.
The project will revitalise vacant and underused land to deliver high-quality a high-quality, modern mix of 12 social and nine affordable units and villas, featuring communal areas and shared gardens for approximately 21 residents.
The NSW Government has invested $4.8M into the project, partnering with Housing Australia and Pacific Link Housing, as part of a coordinated effort with the Commonwealth to increase housing supply.
Designed to meet the needs of its future community, the new homes will be just two kilometres from the CBD and within walking distance of parks, schools, childcare, and public transport, providing convenient access to everyday essentials and services.
Construction is expected to be complete by August-2027.
The Government has delivered 82 public homes on the Central Coast since April 2023, with a further 19 set for completion in the next six months.
Minister for Central Coast David Harris said: "This another win for Woy Woy, transforming under-utilised land into high-quality, modern homes for our growing community.
“I know the Central Coast needs more social homes for people in our community doing it tough and our government is delivering. These new homes are just the latest example of how we are investing in putting a roof over the heads of people who really need it, but they won’t be the last.”
Member Gosford Liesl Tesch said: “Under the former Liberal National Government, social housing was neglected and sold off. I am proud the NSW Labor Government is investing a record-breaking amount in social and affordable housing here on the Central Coast.
“This boost to the social and affordable housing stock is a welcome addition, with well-built, well-located social and affordable homes being delivered in the heart of Woy Woy.”
