The precinct is a mix of existing high-rise built between 1965 and 1973,brand-new homes built on Victoria Street, and a further 286 new homes, shared community spaces and 5,000 sqm public park are currently in construction on Holland Court.
The Flemington precinct contains a mix of social and affordable housing managed by Homes Victoria and Community Housing Victoria Limited.
Tenancies with Homes Victoria in this precinct are managed by the local housing office located at 12 Churchill Avenue, Ascot Vale.

Expressions of interest open: Flemington Community Consultative Committee
We’re establishing a Community Consultative Committee (CCC) for Flemington. It will bring together renters and community members to work together to give advice to Homes Victoria on the Flemington redevelopment. If you’d like to be involved, please complete the expression of interest (EOI) form by Tuesday 31 December.
This is Australia’s largest urban renewal project with a pipeline of projects between now and 2051. It will transform Melbourne’s high-rise social housing neighbourhoods, redeveloping 44 ageing high-rises and other buildings with modern, accessible and energy efficient homes and improved community facilities. Once completed, there will be at least 10% more social housing for Victorians who need it and more homes close to schools, services, transport and jobs.
This is a long-term project that will happen in careful stages. When it’s time to move, renters are given plenty of notice and help from our relocations team to find a suitable new home. This includes homes in your neighbourhood if you choose.
When new homes are built renters have the right to return to their neighbourhood based on their ongoing eligibility, needs and suitability of the new homes. You can also choose to stay in your new home if that suits you better at the time.
