$15 million boost for social housing in Gosford

Beane Street project, Gosford.

Keys are now in the doors of 41 new apartments for people in need, following the completion of a seven-storey social housing development in Gosford.

The $15.34 million project is delivering a much-needed social housing boost on the Central Coast and providing 50 residents a safe place to call home.

It is also setting a new benchmark for high-quality social housing, with 20 two-bedroom and 21 one-bedroom modern and fit-for-purpose units.

The NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) also has a further 5 projects currently in design in the Central Coast region, with plans for these to be lodged with council in late 2022 or early 2023. These projects will potentially deliver up to 45 more social homes.

Built on Darkinjung Country, the Beane Street project includes parking for up to 19 vehicles, bicycles, and motorbikes, and is centrally located in the heart of Gosford.

Construction was completed in record time as part of the NSW Government’s fast-tracked assessment process and supported around 77 local construction jobs during the pandemic.

Central Coast based Pacific Link is the community housing partner managing the property.

The Beane Street project is part of LAHC’s larger pipeline of 479 new social homes to be delivered across regional NSW.
