The time to complete each Demonstration Housing project varies. Before construction begins, each proposal must achieve an approved Development Application (DA). Some proposals may also require changes to the Territory Plan, which can take up to 24 months.

Things that impact timing include:

  • other things happening in the construction industry
  • the proponent’s resources (such as time, funding and staffing)
  • statutory and non-statutory timeframes for design, review, consultation, approval and construction

All proponents with a site have completed Stage 2 Request For Proposal process. The final proponent without a site will have their tender reviewed in the 2025-26 financial year.

The first Demonstration Housing Project, Stellulata, was completed in March 2025.
