The latest major construction milestone has been reached at Ormond Road in East Geelong. Construction crews have now reached the "topping out" stage. Topping out means the main structures of all the buildings are in place and the project is ready to move to the fitting out of homes stage. The Big Housing Build project will build 54 energy efficient and environmentally sustainable homes, replacing 18 social homes which were demolished in 2023. The new homes are expected to be completed mid-2026 creating more access to higher quality social housing for the Geelong East community. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gpfrHZ_N

They say a house is built with wood and beams, but a home is built with love and dreams 🏠❤️ It’s a sentiment we often hear when chatting to social housing residents, many of whom have experienced homelessness first-hand. Secure, affordable housing changes lives. That’s why we’re working to make it a reality for every Victorian: https://lnkd.in/gzbTepfu
