Delacombe, Ballarat

We’re building 181 modern, comfortable and energy-efficient homes in Delacombe, Ballarat. This includes a mix of one-, 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom homes and 5% of the new homes will be fully accessible in line with the Disability Discrimination Act.

The new homes will be located within new high-quality streets and upgraded open spaces that better respond to the community’s needs.

A master plan was developed to help shape the vision for the Delacombe site. Community consultation as part of the master planning process has helped inform the early plans of the Delacombe Big Housing Build. 

Community consultation on the proposed project designs is planned for 2025.
