Package 1 of the Public Housing Renewal Program comprises of the redevelopment of existing estates at New Street, Brighton; Racecourse Road, Flemington; and Bangs St, Prahran. The scale of the project affords the State Government with the opportunity to consider new housing delivery models and housing mixes.

The current program includes; the development of public sector comparators, RFP market engagement and evaluation, assistance with contract negotiation and execution, post-award design development, construction and commissioning and initial operations and post occupancy evaluation.
