Leongatha

Description

Status: Planning underway – gearing up for construction commencement.
Project: 2 Affordable, Modern Homes

Overview

Leongatha Fields is a boutique affordable housing project designed to bring stability, security, and opportunity to families in regional Victoria.

Just minutes from schools, shops, parks, and health services, the project blends lifestyle appeal with essential community access — making it ideal for families, essential workers, and local residents.

This development represents the mission in action: delivering affordable, high-quality homes that not only provide shelter but strengthen communities for the long term.

Project Highlights

  • Location: Central Leongatha — 880m to Woolworths and the town centre, 100m to Northern Oval, and just 1.2km to health services and the Community & Learning Centre

  • Product: 2 affordable, modern homes

  • Delivery: Homes delivered within 12 months

  • Objective: Deliver quality, affordable homes to address urgent community housing needs

Why Leongatha Fields?

  • Tight rental market: South Gippsland Shire’s vacancy rate is just 0.5%, with very few rental homes available for local families.

  • Rising rental costs: Median weekly rent in South Gippsland has increased by 30%+ since 2020, placing many households under housing stress.

  • Key worker pressure: Healthcare, aged care, education, and childcare services are struggling to attract and retain staff due to the lack of affordable housing.

  • Strong local employment: South Gippsland’s unemployment rate is 2.7%, well below Victoria’s (4.1%) and the national average (4.3%). Jobs are available, but workers risk being lost without accessible homes.

  • Population growth: Leongatha is a priority growth centre, with South Gippsland forecast to grow steadily through 2036 — further tightening demand for housing.

  • Policy alignment: Leongatha Fields reflects Homes Victoria priorities — fast delivery, genuine affordability, and long-term community outcomes.

Why We Love It

Leongatha Fields is exactly the type of project we’re here to deliver — solving real housing challenges with smart, community-first development.

By bringing six modern, affordable homes into the heart of Leongatha, we’re helping ease housing pressure, support essential workers, and strengthen the future of this growing regional hub.
