SPECIALIST DISABILITY ACCOMMODATION IN INNER-CITY MELBOURNE

Community Housing Ltd as part of the Building Communities Consortium has partnered with Homes Victoria to deliver social, affordable, specialist disability accommodation (SDA) and market rental homes that are welcoming and secure and which meet modern design and accessibility standards.

The first round of Ground Lease Model will be delivered at three sites in Flemington, Brighton and Prahran.

Each of the developments in the Ground Lease Model project will contain high quality, spacious, two-bedroom, two-bathroom SDA apartments. These will be built to the High Physical Support design category, also meeting Fully Accessible design standards.

This project provides a rare opportunity for ideally located SDA apartments in Melbourne’s inner suburbs. Each development is located close to public transport, amenities and local cafes and restaurants.

The SDA apartments will contain modern appliances, assistive technology capability, provisions for ceiling hoists, widened doorways, intercom communication system and all accessibility features meeting the High Physical Support design standards.

To be eligible for the SDA apartments renters must be NDIS participants with the ability to gain appropriate levels of SDA funding.

If you have any questions contact SDA Engagement Coordinator Hannah Trood, hannah.trood@chl.org.au.
