Compass Housing has a professional, dedicated and experienced Project, Development and Asset Department with an extensive background in building, project management, asset management and related trades. This includes the management our new developments and constructions, and project management of major upgrade works.

Upgrades

Compass Housing is currently contracted by Housing NSW to project manage the upgrade works in the Hunter Region and also in Far West NSW and is also contracted to project manage dwellings for the Aboriginal Housing Office in Wilcannia and in Broken Hill. This department also manages our responsive and planned maintenance program with state of the art asset management software providing accurate budgeting and forecasts for the properties we manage.

In the last 24 months Compass Housing has also acquired, through purchases over 200 properties in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Upper Hunter, Gosford and Wyong areas. These acquisitions were all newly constructed dwellings; Compass Housing had a lot of input and involvement in some of these projects.

Consultation

Compass Housing has also been invited to provide ongoing input to projects being constructed under the Federal Government’s Nation Building Economic Stimulus Package. We have been attending meetings on a regular basis with Resitech, Bovis Lend Lease, and Housing NSW on development projects in the Hunter Valley Region under this program.
