Affordable Housing Project Delivers Homes for Victim-Survivors in Maroubra
What happened
The Minns Labor Government, alongside Waverley council and other partners, purchased and upgraded a 1970s apartment building in Maroubra. This project created six new affordable homes for women and children who are victim-survivors of domestic violence in Sydney's east. Refurbishment included kitchen upgrades, new windows, and fire safety improvements, with rents capped at 30 per cent of income.

Why it matters
The initiative demonstrates how the New South Wales Government and local councils can use the Affordable Housing Contribution Scheme to deliver affordable rental housing across adjoining Local Government Areas. This effort contributes to the state's overall housing supply while providing immediate support to women in crisis.
