Stimson Advisory proposes $100M manufactured home estate in Orange
What happened
Stimson Advisory, a town planning group based in Tamworth, submitted a proposal to Orange councillors. The proposal seeks to amend the Orange Local Environment Plan to permit a manufactured home estate on a 10.9-hectare site. The project, which is valued at upwards of $100 million, would feature upwards of 200 tiny homes targeting the over-55 population.
Why it matters
The proposal aims to address a housing diversity problem in Orange, as there are currently no manufactured home estate developments in the area. If approved, the land lease community could increase housing supply for seniors in the region.
