Delivering housing diversity and affordability
Development Victoria is committed to making our state a better place to live – now and for generations to come.
We know that buying a new home is well out of reach for many Victorians, with prices rising dramatically over several decades. Many Victorians are struggling to break into the housing market or find a rental property that meets their needs.
That’s why we are developing communities built on diversity, offering homes of varying size and price to cater for different lifestyles and budgets.
As the Victorian Government’s property developer, we are committed to ensuring there are more options for people who want to buy or rent. We help make home ownership and long-term rental possible for more Victorians.
To do this, we aim to offer at least a quarter of the homes we build to households that earn less than $150,030 per year, giving more people the opportunity to live where they want to be – at prices they can afford.
Diverse, sustainable and connected communities
Finding the right place to live is about more than just the house itself, which is why we build homes where they’re needed most and where there are already good services such as transport, jobs and schools.
Our goal is to create vibrant places that enrich the local area with diverse and affordable homes, outdoor spaces and community facilities tailored to meet local needs.

To achieve this, we look at the whole picture.
Every neighborhood is different, so we work together with the community, government and industry to understand local priorities and how we can address them.
Our projects and homes range from contemporary and affordable apartments in inner-Melbourne, to land and townhouses in emerging suburbs and regions.
Some features are a given when it comes to our developments – like high-quality and affordable homes, ready access to green space, and an emphasis on sustainability (which means our homes are cheaper to run too).
And other projects are unique – like at Fitzroy North, where we’re revitalising the old gasworks site into an urban village, with new homes, a sports centre, open space and even a high school. There will be something for everyone.
We are proud of our history of establishing and building communities, and are committed to making Victoria an even better place, for everyone.
