New benchmark for affordable housing

Believe Housing Australia’s $14 million Mansfield Park affordable housing development has been hailed as Project of the Year at the prestigious Urban Development Institute of Australia (SA) Awards for Excellence.

Described by the panel of judges to be “world-class and outstanding”, Mansfield Park also claimed the Affordable Housing Award.

The 37 purpose-built two and three-bedroom rental homes on Wilson Street, which include six specialist disability accommodation units, are fully funded and managed by Tier 1, not-for-profit community housing provider Believe Housing Australia (BHA).

BHA Executive General Manager, Housing Services, Stacey Northover, said Mansfield Park was a great example of how Community Housing Organisations could deliver housing solutions during a housing crisis, that were also created with community connection in mind.

“I want to thank the UDIA for this incredible honour of not only winning the award for excellence in an Affordable Development, but also Project of the Year,” she said.

UDIA SA Chief Executive Liam Golding hailed the housing project as an exceptional development.

“Believe Housing has delivered a simply outstanding project that complements and lifts the wider urban renewal in the area, delivering a welcoming place to call home with every essential service and facility at their fingertips,” he said.

“It has created a micro-village that 37 families call home in an interesting, attractive, and connected community, close to essential services and facilities.”
