A ground lease will be used to secure public assets, delivering more social housing for Tasmanians and improving the viability of community housing.
For more information on the location of projects and the ground lease model please read the Community Housing Growth Program - New Social Housing Supply and Ground Lease Model fact sheet.
*Please note the location and density of new supply is determined based on projects in their initial stage of assessment and planning. Minor variations can be anticipated where sites are further assessed as unsuitable or unable to support proposed yield or if contracts to purchase land are unable to proceed for any reason. Every effort will be made to substitute projects within the same municipality.
