Oakover Road, Preston
New social housing at our Oakover Road site in Preston is now complete, providing high-quality, energy efficient homes for the community.
This project has delivered 99 social homes, representing a significant increase in social housing at the site. 78 market apartment homes have also been delivered, and more are on track for completion by late 2025.
The Oakover Road redevelopment includes the DoAble Community Art Gallery – a unique creative space for resident artists and communities. There is also a rooftop lounge with barbecue facilities, a community room, green spaces and landscaped gardens for residents to enjoy.
This project was delivered by Homes Victoria in partnership with MAB Corporation and leading community housing provider HousingFirst. The project is part of the Victorian Government’s Public Housing Renewal Program.

Project update
With construction of the social housing now complete, residents have been supported to settle into their new homes. Community housing provider HousingFirst will manage the social homes for a 20-year term, providing supportive tenancy management, asset management and maintenance.
The Doable Community Art Gallery opened its doors in 2024, providing a unique space where artists, residents, and the community can come together to connect and create art. As part of the Oakover Road, Preston redevelopment, it’s a place for recognising and celebrating culture, diversity and inclusion.
