David Harris inspects the new social housing for seniors in Wyong.

25 February 2026

 

THE State Government is building more homes, more quickly, thanks to an historic $6.6 billion investment into social housing to deliver 8,400 new homes across New South Wales.

 

Rose Jackson Minister for Housing said, “We know the housing crisis is hitting the Central Coast community hard, and we’re responding with the largest investment in public and affordable housing in over a decade.

 

“We’re not just making promises, we’re delivering real results, and these four projects are the proof.

 

“Many of these homes are targeted towards seniors and that’s about restoring dignity for older residents in need, and making sure no one is left behind.”

 

The Building Homes for NSW program delivered 1,711 new social and affordable homes in the 2024-25 financial year, including five purpose-built homes in Wyee.

 

Work to tackle the state’s housing and affordability crisis is continuing, with a new seniors’ complex in Wyong now ready for nearly a dozen seniors to move in.

 

The new complex, funded though the $610 million Social Housing Accelerator Fund (SHAF), features a mix of one and two-bedroom units, with on-site parking and easy access to public transport and community greenspace.

 

Construction is underway on another three projects in Wyong, including:

 

12 seniors’ homes on Cutler Drive

 

Two dual occupancy homes on Owen Avenue

 

These projects are on track for completion in 2026.

 

David Harris Member for Wyong said, “Six brand new social homes designed with seniors in mind are now ready to provide a safe and secure home for older residents who deserve nothing less.

 

“This new development in Wyong is a clear example of what happens when governments invest in people, and I’m thrilled that we’re seeing that investment right here in Wyong.

 

“With three more projects already under construction in Wyong, we’re continuing to deliver real outcomes for the community. These homes will offer stability and dignity to seniors and families who’ve spent too long waiting for a place to call home.”
