The Tasmanian Government is delivering more homes for one of Tasmania's fastest growing communities following council approval of a new 10.7-hectare subdivision in Brighton.
The new subdivision is located near public transport, shops, and essential services, promising convenience and accessibility for its residents.
The development will deliver approximately 105 lots, with around 85 percent of these lots to be made available for purchase for people who want to build their own home.
Minister for Housing, Planning, and Consumer Affairs, Felix Ellis, said through our Government's 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future, we are taking action now to deliver more housing opportunities for Tasmanians.
"We're freeing up land to give Tasmanian families the opportunities they need to build the homes that they want to live in," Minister Ellis said.
"The delivery of this new subdivision has been made possible through strong collaboration between the Tasmanian Government and Brighton Council, highlighting the shared commitment to supporting the community.
"The construction of the subdivision will also support job opportunities in the region, creating a pipeline of work for the local community."
Homes Tasmania CEO, Eleri Morgan-Thomas, said Homes Tasmania will retain around fifteen percent of the lots for future social and affordable rental housing.
"We're strengthening our commitment to deliver mixed-tenure developments and build on the Tasmanian Government's commitment to deliver more social and affordable homes," Ms Morgan-Thomas said.
"Home ownership assistance will also be available through the Tasmanian Government's MyHome shared equity program.
"If buying your own home always seemed out of reach or if your life circumstances have changed, the Tasmanian Government's MyHome shared equity program might be perfect for you."
