MA Housing – part of Mission Australia – has recently taken handover of 27 newly built homes in Wauchope and Laurieton with another 28 to follow in Port Macquarie designed to provide quality housing for individuals and families.
The homes have been built as part of the Australian Government’s Nation Building economic stimulus plan and will be owned and managed by MA Housing.
MA Housing’s CEO, Andrew McAnulty, said the new homes were a significant contribution to creating more affordable housing in regional NSW.
“Australia has an affordable housing challenge. These homes – and others being built around the state thanks to the NSW and Federal governments – are an important step to overcoming the issue,” Mr McAnulty said.
“Housing NSW should be commended for the design and quality of these new homes.
“MA Housing’s vision around these homes is to make a long-term and positive difference in the area. By providing good quality homes, more secure homes, more affordable homes we’re helping build stronger communities.”
Kathy Cox OAM, who has been a Wauchope resident for almost three decades, was among the new tenants who joined in the celebrations.
“We haven’t been living in the project long, so it’s still new. But it seems really well set up,” Ms Cox told The Wauchope Gazette. “The layout means there is good privacy and security. The peace and quiet is fabulous, especially for those of us who haven’t had it.
“I like the layout. I’m in a cluster of five other houses, which means you have a good chance for both privacy and to develop good neighbourly relations.
“I couldn’t be happier,” she added. “You just have to talk to the tenants here to know how much they appreciate the security… MA Housing has done a really good thing.”
