Dorcas and Moray Streets, South Melbourne
South Melbourne Walk-up Redevelopment
The South Melbourne Walk-up Redevelopment will deliver at least 131 new social homes on the former walk-up housing site at the corner of Dorcas and Moray Streets, more than doubling the number of social homes previously on the site.
The redevelopment will create a safe, well-designed neighbourhood with high-quality homes, on-site support for future residents, welcoming shared spaces and landscaped public areas.
We are partnering with Thrive Living Communities on this redevelopment. Thrive Living Communities includes Citta Property Group as the developer, and Mission Housing Australia (Victoria) as the not-for-profit community housing provider.
The redevelopment is jointly funded by the Victorian Government and the Australian Government's Housing Australia Future Fund.

Community consultation
Closed
From 31 August to 20 September 2026, we invited the South Melbourne community and other stakeholders to share their feedback on the proposed plans for the new homes on the corner of Dorcas and Moray Streets, South Melbourne.
Thank you to everyone that took part in the consultation process.
All feedback received during community consultation is currently being reviewed will help inform the final design plans for the redevelopment.
A report on the community consultation outcomes will be included in the planning application, which will be submitted to the Minister for Planning in late 2026.
The report will be made available on Engage Victoria later this year.
To find out more about the consultation, visit Engage Victoria.

All residents from the old walk-ups have been supported to move into new homes that suit their ongoing needs.
Relocated households will have the right to return to the new homes, based on their ongoing eligibility, needs, and suitability of the new homes.
