Will the PSP provide for affordable housing?
The precinct will accommodate affordable housing through several diverse housing types including small lot homes, attached and semi-detached houses (such as townhouses) and standard detached homes.
The VPA conducted a social and affordable housing assessment for the Ballarat North Precinct. The assessment recommended a minimum provision of 13% of new dwellings within the precinct as social or affordable housing. The Precinct Structure Plan has embedded this target.
Further agreements between developers and the City of Ballarat will be required throughout the subdivision and development process to determine the delivery method and composition needed to achieve this target.
