The program aims to ensure residents have a range of housing choices that are affordable, secure and appropriate to household needs and contribute to the physical character of all renewal areas, by:

  • improving the visual appearance and physical environment of the suburb and creating an aesthetically pleasant and desirable residential environment
  • applying the principles of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) in improvement processes
  • reducing social housing in the area by offering opportunities for home ownership at affordable prices to create a more balanced community profile
  • enhancing the physical quality of housing by undertaking appropriate improvement works
  • providing increased choices in housing by realigning current housing properties to meet changing community needs
  • creating employment opportunities for local unemployed people through involvement on the capital works program.
