<h4 class="noSpacingAbove noSpacingBelow" data-text-type="withSpacing">Maribyrnong social housing project reached new heights and on 2 September, less than one year after breaking ground, the highest structural point has now been reached on the development.</h4>
<p>The milestone was marked with a Topping Out Ceremony, bringing together the team and project partners to celebrate how far the development has come. Guests included Councillor Mohamed Semra, Mayor of Maribyrnong, Assistant Treasurer &amp; Member for Fraser, Hon Dr Daniel Mulino MP, and Federal Member for Macnamara &amp; Special Envoy for Social Housing and Homelessness, Josh Burns MP with Victoria's State Council President, Brendan Podbury</p>
<p>Once complete, the Maribyrnong development will provide 83 new social and affordable homes for Victorians experiencing or at risk of homelessness. However, the new apartments will provide more than just a safe and secure place to call home. The development will create a connected community, with residents also able to access vital support services and employment opportunities.</p>
<p>With the rooftop now complete, work will continue on the facade and internal fit-out, with the homes expected to be ready in early 2027.</p>
<p>It’s a fantastic milestone for everyone involved and another important step towards creating more safe, secure and dignified housing for Victorians who need it most.</p>
