Functional performance exceeds expectations through the achievement of Liveable Housing Australia Silver ratings across all dwellings, ensuring homes are practical, comfortable and adaptable. The inclusion of fully accessible homes for Victorians with disabilities anticipates diverse user needs while maintaining design quality throughout.

Solar orientation drove planning decisions: east-west facing dwellings feature deeper balconies with sunshading lattice, while north-facing ones are shallower and wider. 95% of dwellings have dual frontages maximising cross-ventilation, while 92% face north, east or west and all enjoy park, street or courtyard views. This environmentally efficient design translates directly to reduced heating and cooling costs, addressing cost-of-living pressures for vulnerable residents. The achievement of 5-star Green Star and average 7-star NatHERS ratings reflects close collaboration with environmental engineers and sustainability consultants, ensuring exceptional performance benefits both residents and environment.

The Big Housing Build brief is approached with ambition, delivering homes that support community recovery while addressing immediate housing need. By exceeding minimum accessibility requirements and incorporating universal design principles, the development serves diverse user needs including families, individuals, older Victorians and people with disabilities. The generous community spaces understand that housing is about more than individual dwellings, providing settings for the social connection and support networks essential to thriving communities. Serving Victorians in need means creating homes and neighbourhoods where people can build stable, dignified lives.
