Bellfield Social Housing Project
By BALMAIN & CO
Balmain & Co is proud to be working with one of Victoria’s largest Specialist Homelessness Organisations, Launch Housing as they partner with the Victorian Government and Banyule City Council on the Bellfield Social Housing Project. This community focused development will make an invaluable contribution to the community housing crisis as part of the Victorian Government’s Big Housing Build.
Once completed, Bellfield Social Housing will provide housing for people on the priority access list of the Victorian Housing Register. Sitting adjacent to the new Bellfield Community Hub and community garden, the development will form part of Banyule City Council’s broader precinct activation.
Consisting of 58 dwellings over 4 levels, Bellfield Social Housing will have generous indoor and outdoor communal spaces for residents to enjoy, bike and pram storage along with basement parking, offices and retail tenants at ground level. Designed by ARM, the development will feature an innovatively designed and sustainable building, showcasing best practice housing.
The delivery of this social housing development at Bellfield is specifically designed to keep low to moderate income earners connected to their community. It will also enable them to have the assurance and security of somewhere safe and affordable to live, along with providing well targeted economic stimulus, social benefits and creating jobs within the community.
Construction has commenced on site at the Bellfield Social Housing Project and is expected to reach completion in September 2023.

The Bellfield Social Housing Project is really taking shape as the site team is heading towards the scaffold dismantle. Authority connections to the building for water and power are complete with external cladding and balustrading following closely behind. Internally, finishing trades are progressing with apartment plaster works, joinery installation and tiling well underway.
Balmain & Co is looking forward to providing further updates as The Bellfield Social Housing Project progresses. Once complete, the new building will provide much needed affordable housing here in Victoria.
In March 2022 we held an event on the Bellfield Social Housing Project site for the first sod turn, signifying the commencement of construction. Joined by Specialist Homelessness Organisation Launch Housing who are leading the project and representatives from Banyule City Council, Homes Victoria, the Victorian Government, Wurundgeri and many more we gathered to commemorate the beginning of what will be a life changing contribution to the community housing crisis.
Together we took part in a traditional Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony as we acknowledged the traditional custodians of the land and paid our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We also heard some very touching words of Wurundjeri Elders and key partners of the development as we celebrated this special milestone.
