Holland Court, Flemington

The Holland Court development will deliver 286 social and affordable homes across 3 buildings, ranging from 6 to 12 storeys. There will be a mix of one-, 2- and 3-bedroom homes. 

The project will also include a large public park, landscaped gardens, children’s play spaces, an exercise station, seating and picnic tables. There will also be a multipurpose community room and space for a café. 

You can view the development plans for the project on the Engage Victoria website.  

The new homes will be bright and modern and have been designed to complement the Flemington area. 

The buildings will be tenure blind. This means all social and affordable rental homes will be built to the same standard and look the same. 

To see what the new homes will look like, visit the ‘Look inside the new homes at Holland Court’ page. You can also view the development plans on Engage Victoria. 

How you apply depends on the type of home. 

Social homes are allocated through the Victorian Housing Register. Information about how to apply for the affordable rental homes will be available in the coming months. 

For more information about housing options and how to apply, visit the ‘Look inside the new homes at Holland Court’ page. 

Once the homes are complete from late 2026, Building Communities will manage the site for 40 years.  

Building Communities includes community housing provider Community Housing Limited (CHL) and tenancy manager Horizon Housing Realty (HHR).  

CHL will manage the social homes, including tenancy management, maintenance and community development programs, with staff based on site. HHR will manage the affordable rental homes. 

The new social homes will be allocated to people on the Victorian Housing Register, which helps eligible Victorians access social housing. 

Affordable rental homes will be available to eligible low- to moderate-income households through a separate application process. 

Specialist Disability Accommodation homes will be available for eligible National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants.

The community was invited to provide feedback on plans for the Holland Court site between 25 September and 23 October 2023. 

Community feedback helped inform the final plans for the site.

The new homes will be all electric and designed to achieve a 5-Star Green Star rating and an average 7-Star NatHERS rating. This will make them more comfortable to heat and cool throughout the year. 

The Ground Lease Model is a partnership approach to delivering social housing.  

Homes Victoria leases the land to a consortium, which finances, plans, builds, manages and maintains the homes for 40 years.  

After this period, the land and homes return to Homes Victoria. This means there is no sale of public land.

Building Communities is a not-for-profit consortium appointed by Homes Victoria to deliver the new homes at Holland Court.   

The consortium includes ICON as the builder and Community Housing Limited (CHL) as the community housing provider.

• Social housing is an umbrella term that includes community housing and public housing. 

   

• Community housing is affordable, long-term housing managed by a community housing provider. These are experienced, not-for-profit organisations that provide tenancy management, maintenance, community building and support services. The future Holland Court housing site will be managed by an on-site community housing provider. 

• Public housing is long-term housing managed by the Victorian Government. The Office of Housing provides tenancy management, maintenance and community support services. 

• Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is housing designed for people with high physical support needs. It helps residents live more independently and allows support services to be delivered more safely. For example, a home may include reinforced ceilings so a ceiling hoist can be installed.
