Description

Status: Acquired – gearing up for construction commencement.
Project: Single Affordable Home – Built-Form Delivery


Overview

In the quiet, character-filled town of Ararat, Ararat Homestead is a single affordable home project designed to bring stability, security, and opportunity to a local family.

While small in scale, this project speaks volumes — proving that even one well-placed home can make a lasting impact in a regional community facing housing pressure.

Close to schools, shops, transport, and community services, this home combines convenience, comfort, and connection — ensuring the family who moves in has access to everything they need.

This project also sets the foundation for future affordable housing initiatives in the region as we continue to partner with government and community stakeholders to deliver where it matters most.


Project Highlights

  • Location: Prime central position — 750m to Ararat CBD, 1km to Woolworths, 1.3km to train station, 200m to Ararat College

  • Site size: Approx. 350m²

  • Proposed Outcome: 1 affordable 3-bedroom home tailored to local needs

  • Objective: Deliver stability, affordability, and dignity to a regional family


Why Ararat Homestead?

  • Critical rental market pressure: Ararat’s rental vacancy rate is extremely low at 0.57%, with only 24 rental listings currently available.

  • Low unemployment and robust economy: Unemployment sits at just 4.19%, showing strong job demand across industries — but without affordable housing, Ararat risks losing the essential workforce it relies on.

  • Regional growth and stability: Ararat’s population has grown from 8,297 in 2016 to 8,500 in 2021, highlighting ongoing community expansion.


Why We Love It

This project may be small, but its impact is big. It reflects everything Kind Homes stands for — intentional development, community-first thinking, and action over talk.

We’re proud to be delivering another affordable home for a deserving local family, and to continue shaping the future of regional towns like Ararat — one project at a time.
