Homes Tasmania - social and affordable housing
Homes Tasmania is actively developing new subdivisions in Burnie to address housing demand and support community growth.
Here are some key projects in Burnie:
🏘️ Kentish Drive, Shorewell Park
These serviced land lots range from 613 m² to 1,146 m², starting at $85,000. Buyers can secure a block through the government's shared equity scheme - MyHome
🏘️ Park Grove Subdivision (32 West Mooreville Road)
Located behind the former UTAS Cradle Coast Campus and accessible via West Mooreville and Mills Roads, this development covers 6.25 hectares and will include approximately 55 residential lots. Construction began in early 2025, with lots expected to be available for sale in 2026.
Tenure Mix:
- 85% of the lots will be for private sale, with eligibility for the MyHome shared equity program.
- 15% will be reserved for social and affordable rental housing.
A public information session was held in February 2023 to gather feedback on open space, tree retention, and recreational amenities.
🏘️ 3 Atkins Drive, Romaine
This proposed development will consist of 18 two-bedroom social and affordable rental units. The development application was lodged with Burnie City Council in September 2025.
Management: The units will be managed by a community housing provider.
