The Victorian Government has launched the next phase of its $80 million New Norlane project, announcing the builders who have won the tenders who will deliver the project aimed at revitalising the suburb.

 

The Victorian Government has announced Hamlan Homes, Porter Davis and Burbank Australia as the builders who will deliver the majority of the 320 new private and public homes being constructed in Norlane by 2015.

 

The companies will work with the State Government to build 160 new private homes and a display village in Norlane, along with approximately half of the 160 new public housing homes for the area. All 320 homes are being built on vacant blocks of land.

 

The remainder of the public housing dwellings are being built by a range of Government approved builders over the course of the project. T.J and H.M Cuell, Rendine Constructions and Hamlan Homes have recently been contracted to deliver 11 of these new homes.

 

Announced by Ms Lovell last November, the four-year New Norlane initiative is one of the largest public and private housing projects undertaken in Victoria.

 

"This project will revitalise Norlane, with a mix of public and affordable private housing, along with new local opportunities, jobs and investment," Ms Lovell said.

 

"The $80 million project will include homes for private sale, with the new homes well-suited to young families. A display village with some of the best value new homes in Geelong will be set up in Norlane."
