Information for neighbours

From April 2026, work will begin on Ballintine Street, Kelly Court, Nicholson Court and Mansfield Road while we build 48 new homes at Benalla West.  

A small section of Waminda Park will be fenced off to accommodate our construction team. We will ensure access to the park remains open during construction. The Waminda Park upgrade will take place in 2027, towards the end of construction.  

Works will take place between 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and 9am to 1pm on Saturday.  
 

All works will be undertaken in accordance with WorkSafe Victoria regulations, and we will do our best to minimise inconvenience for the local community.

Homes Victoria has engaged Harnest Constructions Pty Ltd to undertake the works. 

The health and safety of the Benalla West community is our priority. To maintain safety, we will restrict access to site, permitting access to professional contractors only. Our contractor will use control measures, such as dust suppression and noise reduction equipment, to reduce impacts as much as possible. All works will be compliant with WorkSafe Victoria and EPA Victoria regulations. 

Nearby neighbours will receive notices in their letterboxes ahead of any significant works. We will also publish all works notices on this web page. To receive updates via email, you can also  sign up for Benalla West project updates.
