Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has announced his state has launched the country’s first project under the Social Housing Accelerator fund. The first project will see two red brick towers demolished to make way for something “infinitely better”, developing at least 231 units and delivering a ten per cent increase in social housing. The Premier believes his state’s partnership with the federal government on this issue is “long overdue and warmly welcomed by us”. “At last, a partnership on more housing for people who need it most,” Mr Andrews said during a media conference on Tuesday. “We were denied that partnership for a very, very long time under the previous government – they had no agenda for more housing. “We receive around $500 million under the accelerator – we will deliver 769 new homes, that is a big boost for social housing for those in our community who need that option.”
