Building Better Cities - Affordable Housing

Under the Building Better Cities program Compass has received purpose built properties to manage located in six redevelopment estates in the Newcastle area. Jointly funded by the Federal Government and State Government, this program has been part of an immensely successful renewal of the Honeysuckle precinct and inner Newcastle surrounds as well as providing affordable housing and being a catalyst for market regeneration and growth.
This program is for low to moderate income earning households and is targeted to key workers in the Newcastle area.
