Duncan Fairclough, Frankie Lea, Ben Vigor, Stacey Northover, Darren Huitema, Rachael Napper, Jodi Dreyer, Christie Marrot-Castellat, Sasha Cameron, and Richard Hubert at the UDIA(SA) Awards for Excellence New benchmark for affordable housing Believe Housing Australia’s $14 million Mansfield Park affordable housing development earned major recognition, taking home three prestigious housing awards for a new standard of excellence for affordable homes in South Australia and nationally.
The development won the Affordable Housing award and Project of the Year at the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) South Australia Awards for Excellence, before going on to win the National Affordable Housing Award at the UDIA Australia National Awards for Excellence. The 37 purpose-built two and three-bedroom rental homes on Wilson Street, which include six Specialist Disability Accommodation units, were brought into being by the AnglicareSA development team headed by Gayle Dunnett. The project was then initiated and managed to completion by Richard Hubert. These properties are managed by Tier 1, not-for- profit community housing provider Believe Housing Australia. BHA Executive General Manager, Housing Services, Stacey Northover, said Mansfield Park was a great
example of how Community Housing Organisations could deliver housing solutions during a housing crisis, that were also created with community connection in mind. “I want to thank the UDIA for this incredible honour of not only winning the award for excellence in an Affordable Development, but also Project of the Year,” she said. UDIA SA Chief Executive Liam Golding hailed the housing project as an exceptional development. “Believe Housing Australia has delivered a simply outstanding project that complements and lifts the wider urban renewal in the area, delivering a welcoming place to call home with every essential service and facility at their fingertips,” he said.
