Social housing residents across the Hunter will now benefit from a new partnership between NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) and Hunter Water.
The $6.14 million program in East Maitland has commenced already construction, committing to a new supply of social housing for potential residents in the area while also offering a decrease in living costs such as water bills.
The complex includes seven two-bedroom units, 11 one-bedroom units and accessible parking spaces with 30 jobs set to come from the new establishment.
This comes after the state Government's release of the 'Fast Track Housing Construction Package,' offering $400 million across NSW.
Hunter Water Managing Director, Darren Cleary, says he is confident in the new modern water fittings with almost 1200 social housing households benefitting from this upgrade.
Tenants can expect ongoing water savings as well as reduced water and energy bills.
“The works for each property include replacing old, single-flush toilets, installing water efficient showerheads, fitting aerators on taps and repairing leaks,” Mr Cleary said.
