From the General Manager
Hello and welcome to the Summer edition of
TRAC meetings, special interest groups and competitions. To see the winner of the Spring Gardening Competition and Good Neighbour Award, turn to page 6 . As a key community housing provider, we also worked with Homes Tasmania to give our input into the new Tasmanian Housing Strategy, which was released in November 2023. To round out 2023, we held five Christmas celebrations across the state. It was great to see so many residents, I always love seeing the community come together and celebrate the year that was. For photos and a wrap up of events, please turn to page 4 . Don’t forget to check our Facebook page to keep up to date with events in your area.
This year, we expect to complete another 98 properties, including the development of two additional towers in Queens Walk in Hobart. We’ll also be looking at the results of our 2023 Resident Survey to see what’s working well, and what we can improve. Keep an eye out on the next edition of Home Stories for more details. I look forward to another year with you all, Kind regards,
Home Storie s, our first for 2024! I hope you enjoyed a wonderful festive season, and found some time to recharge. Looking back, 2023 was one of our busiest years yet. Housing Choices Tasmania delivered 59 new properties
in 2023, including our first Specialist Disability
Accommodation properties. Our Property and Housing teams were kept busy providing our day-to-day and preventative maintenance services, as well as working with residents to build and maintain sustainable tenancies. Our Community Development team held key community events across Tasmania,
