Development Victoria's affordable housing commitment

For many Victorians, being able to own a home close to work, school and the services they need is out of reach. At Development Victoria, we're in a position to help.

We make home ownership possible for more Victorians, with our range of affordable and high-quality homes catering for different budgets, lifestyles and people.

We aim to offer at least a quarter of the homes we build to households that earn less than $134,450 per year, giving more people the opportunity to live where they want to be – at prices they can afford.

How does it work?

Eligible buyers will have a 7 day Priority Access period during which they can make a purchase, before homes are made available to the general public.
