Development Victoria is unlocking land at a vacant site in the Gippsland region to help deliver much-needed homes, including more than 10% affordable, close to jobs, services, and transport.
Acting Group Head Housing, Nemesia Kennett, said plans are progressing to prepare the unused site at 10 English Street in Morwell for more homes, including social and affordable housing.
Creating these land lots in Morwell is the one of the ways we are helping to address the demand for more homes in the Gippsland region while creating vibrant, connected communities.

“Through this project, we will also ensure the land has essential community infrastructure, helping to establish a connected and thriving community.”
A Planning Permit application for subdivision of the site was submitted to Latrobe City Council for approval in early 2025.
Development Victoria will work closely with Latrobe City Council, Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC) and the local community to ensure the project meets the needs of the Gippsland community.
