Colac

Status: DA in motion – gearing up for construction commencement.
Project: 1 into 5 Lot Subdivision + Affordable Housing

Overview:

Right in the heart of Colac, this boutique affordable housing project is designed to bring dignity, security, and opportunity to local families.

This land subdivision is more than just a development — it’s a reflection of everything Kind Homes stands for: community-first, mission-led housing that makes a real impact. Helping more people into homes they love is exactly why we do this.

Just minutes from Lake Colac, schools, shops, and parks, the site combines lifestyle appeal with essential community access — making it an ideal location for families, essential workers, and local residents.

Project Highlights:

• George Street Colac
  
  

• Site size: Approx. 2,300m²
  

• Proposed Outcome: 5 titled lots + new builds

• Objective: Deliver quality, affordable homes to a high-demand growth area
  

• Location: Prime central position — 500m to Coles and the Plaza, 1.1km to Colac CBD, 430m to the primary school

Why Colac Haven?

• Critical housing shortage: Colac’s vacancy rate is just 0.38%, with only 18 rental properties currently available.

• Key worker crisis: Essential workers in healthcare, childcare, and education are struggling to secure housing, placing pressure on vital community services.

• Strong labour demand: Colac Otway Shire’s unemployment rate is only 2.8% — well below regional VIC (4.1%) and the national average (5.1%). While job demand is strong, without affordable housing the region risks losing the very workforce it depends on.

Why We Love It:
This project is the perfect example of Kind Homes’ mission in action — tackling real housing challenges with smart, forward-thinking development. We’re proud to play our part in shaping Colac’s future by creating affordable homes that the community can be proud of.
