Templeton Street affordable housing

In June 2022, Council invited the community to provide input on its proposal to seeking State or Federal funding to develop medium density rental homes on two locations on Templeton Street in Castlemaine.

The proposed locations are above the Bendigo TAFE, and above the car park alongside the Castlemaine Community House.

Following overwhelming community support for the idea, Councillors voted on 18 October 2022 to progress plans for medium-density affordable housing at these sites. 

Council's Chief Executive Officer, Darren Fuzzard is now working in partnership with housing provider Haven Home Safe, to find the most sustainable funding model.
