2 Simmons Street, South Yarra
This project will gradually retire and replace Melbourne’s 44 older high-rise public housing towers, built between the 1950s and 70s, by 2051. Each redevelopment will take 6 to 8 years to complete. Renters living at 2 Simmons Street in South Yarra are not currently required to relocate. There are no further relocations planned before July 2026.
What this means for renters living at 2 Simmons Street
Nothing is changing overnight. When it is time to move, renters will be supported to move to new housing that meets their needs and preferences.
