THE Western Bulldogs and HomeGround Services will hold an information evening next Tuesday to run through a public housing proposal at Whitten Oval.

The information session, which will run between 5.30pm and 7.30pm in the Whitten Oval’s main administration building, will give residents an opportunity to learn more about the proposal and to give their thoughts and ideas on the development.

The Bulldogs and HomeGround fully briefed all councillors on the development in a meeting last Tuesday.

The proposal is set to provide 54 Common Ground supportive housing units with “tailored” on-site support services and 36 one-bedroom, 120 two-bedroom and 41 three-bedroom affordable housing units across three buildings.

Each building is expected to stand five storeys high.

The development would also include a social enterprise café, a 1.2 km Tan of the West, a community Learn to Swim and hydrotherapy centre and community fitness centre that will supplement the separately funded community sports/multi-purpose hall. To learn more about the proposal, go to www.westernbulldogs.com.au or www.homeground.org.au
