Located 20km west of Devonport in the northern coastal town of Ulverstone, Tasmania, Breheny Place is a residential community delivered by Housing Choices Tasmania in partnership with Homes Tasmania and Housing Australia. Completed in October 2024, the development provides 48 permanent, single-storey, two and three-bedroom homes for people in need of a ordable, safe and accessible housing in the Ulverstone area. Built on land provided by Homes Tasmania under a 40-year ground lease model, funding was provided by Homes Tasmania, Housing Australia and Housing Choices. The development was designed by innovative architecture and interior design group, Cumulus Studios, and constructed by local Devonport building company, Oliver Kelly Group. Tenancy and property management services are provided by Housing Choices, through our Devonport o ce.
Landscape design by award-winning SLBA Studio included incorporation of large existing trees that connect the site with the surrounding natural environment. Communal green spaces and facilities across the development enable residents to engage with their neighbours and come together to nurture shared garden spaces. The development is close to public transport and amenities including community centre, beach, sports field, tennis club, shops and services. Breheny Place was designed with a full range of housing needs in mind, from young families, through to older Tasmanians who may require support to age in place. All 48 homes are now successfully allocated to applicants from the Tasmanian Housing Register.
