Supporting the Community Housing Sector

Suburban Land Agency (SLA) is working with the ACT Government to develop a pipeline of community housing sites and dwellings to continue to support the community housing sector in the ACT.

We are working to support diverse community needs in locations where people can live, work and connect.

The sites on this page have been identified as potential future locations and opportunities for community housing in accordance with the Indicative Land Release Program. Working with Community Housing Providers (CHPs) will help shape future decisions about land releases and housing policies.

Upcoming Community Housing Releases

Off-the-plan apartments at affordable price thresholds

SLA aspires to create place experiences where everyone feels welcome to call home. We work with developers to deliver quality place and design outcomes that respond to community needs and aspirations. A variety of large urban renewal sites across Canberra have and will continue to be sold with requirements to include community housing.

Developers are required to identify and provide dwellings for the purpose of sale to CHPs. Once a development is approved, SLA will provide the developer with details for one or more CHPs. The CHPs will then be able to purchase the dwellings directly from the developer at the affordable price thresholds.

Affordable price thresholds are linked to dwelling size and are indexed annually on 1 July each year.
