The Harvest Square Development in Brunswick West represents a significant enhancement to community living, providing a total of 198 new homes.
This includes 119 social housing apartments and 79 market apartments, along with 111 social housing units and 8 community housing apartments specifically designed for women. The redevelopment replaces 82 outdated social homes with modern, energy-efficient residences, boosting social housing availability on the site by 45%.
Strategically located just 6km north of Melbourne’s city centre, the site offers residents easy access to transport, community services, and shopping precincts. The development features a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom homes, all designed with comfort and sustainability in mind. Each unit boasts a 5-star Green energy rating and a 7-star average NatHERS rating, resulting in lower heating and cooling costs.
In addition to housing, the project emphasises community engagement through shared spaces. An 18m wide linear green space runs through the site, providing up to 3,000 sqm of open space, including community gardens, play areas for children, and facilities like outdoor chess tables and bike parking. Improved pedestrian connections enhance access within the development and to the surrounding neighbourhood.
Harvest Square not only delivers modern, livable homes but also fosters a supportive community environment with onsite support services, making it a model for future housing developments.
