Federal treasurer Scott Morrison paid a visit to Macarthur today to announce the opening of affordable apartment housing in Campbelltown. The new apartment buildings are located along Kellicar Road as a part of a development called The Gardens. The Gardens feature 101 apartments across three towers, consisting of one, two and three-bedroom spaces. Not-for-profit community housing provider BlueCHP has acquired 56 of the units, which will be made available for affordable living under the Australian Government’s National Rental Affordability Scheme. Affordable housing is priced to meet the needs of very low to moderate income households so people are able to meet other basic living costs such as food, clothing, transport, medical care and education. Mr Morrison said the new apartments were a welcome addition to the Macarthur housing market. “We are putting downward pressure on the rising cost of living,” he said. “I said we would guarantee the essentials that Australians rely on, and over the course of this year we've been delivering on that. “On the rising cost of living we have delivered an affordability package which is designed to see projects like this one supported into the future at a scale that we haven’t seen before.” BlueCHP was established nine years ago with aim of growing the supply of high quality affordable housing. It holds over 750 dwellings, with assets worth over $300 million.
