Work is under way on a new social housing project at Waratah West.
Two ageing homes in Landa Parade are making way for a 10-unit double story architect-designed complex featuring six two-bedroom units and four one-bedroom units.
It's part of the state government's $250 million investment to fast-track the delivery of homes across the state and is one of six projects either completed or in the pipeline across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Maitland over the next two years.
NSW Land and Housing Corporation Acting Chief Executive, Deborah Brill says it follows a memorandum of understanding signed in December with Newcastle Council to boost the stock of social housing.
"We're working closely with the City of Newcastle as a priority to create and deliver more social and affordable housing across the region," she said.
The Landa Parade project is due for completion in December 2022.
