Secure, appropriate, and affordable housing is a basic human right
With 80% of low-income earners paying more rent than they can afford, Australia’s ageing population, along with a decline in homeownership, has triggered an increase in homelessness across Australia.
A report by the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (2019), found a growing number of people are experiencing homelessness for the first time later in life. At the last census, 18,625 people aged 55 years or over were without a home. Older women are particularly more at risk of homelessness, due to factors including family violence, divorce and limited income from superannuation.

No. 21A Copernicus Way, Keilor Downs
Victoria’s Big Housing Build Program – No. 21A Copernicus Way, Keilor Downs
Welcome to Baptcare Affordable Housing’s information page for the proposed development at No. 21A Copernicus Way, Keilor Downs. Baptcare Affordable Housing seeks to develop No. 21A Copernicus Way, Keilor Downs with 47 new affordable homes, comprised of 23 single-storey and 24 double-storey dwellings.
These dwellings will be accessed by a new loop road through the site which connects to Thornhill Drive. Each home is provided with one car parking space, and landscaping is proposed across the site in front and rear yards and within new nature strips. Baptcare Affordable Housing seeks your feedback on this proposal.
This project is proposed as part of Victoria’s Big Housing Build Program, which seeks to deliver much-needed new homes for Victorians and create new jobs to support Victoria’s economic recovery. The Victorian Government have introduced a new Clause 52.20 to Planning Schemes across Victoria which streamlines the planning assessment and approval process, whilst still assessing important factors including design, landscaping and car parking, and limiting amenity impacts on surrounding land.
As part of this process, feedback from the community and from Council is gathered before the design is finalised and submitted for assessment by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning on behalf of the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change.
