📣 Advance Housing is pleased to announce the appointment of Wauters Building Company, to construct 36 new social and affordable homes in Albany.

🏡 The $21.8 million project, delivered in partnership with the WA and Commonwealth Governments, represents Advance Housing's largest investment to date. The project will provide a mix of 25 social homes and 11 affordable rental homes in the growing Bayonet Head community.

🌿 The thoughtfully designed homes will provide high levels of energy efficiency, private outdoor spaces, and landscaped communal areas that support liveability and connection.

🧱 The appointment of Wauters follows a robust and transparent procurement process, reinforcing Advance Housing's commitment to quality, value for money, and demonstrated community outcomes.

📋 Central to this process was the use of the panel of pre-qualified commercial builders, established by Advance Housing.

✨ This milestone reflects not only a rigorous procurement process, but also a shared commitment to deliver modern community housing that is high quality, well-managed, and built to fit in.

⭐ Made possible with the support of Department of Housing and Works and Housing Australia

✨ A behind-the-Scenes Look at Student Accommodation ✨

It was a pleasure hosting local Katanning Senior High School students recently for a tour of our tertiary student accommodation! While we might not have seen many smiles in the photo (we know the Gen Z stare is in 😄), we’ve been reassured the experience was insightful and valuable - and that’s what matters most.

It great to provide students a genuine glimpse into what life beyond school can look like, and providing quality, affordable housing that meets community needs is at the heart of what we do.

🎥 Curious to see more?
Check out our walk-through video for a behind-the-scenes look at our student accommodation - perfect for anyone considering study at university, TAFE, or through an apprenticeship or traineeship.

📣 Advance Housing is excited to share that Stage One of our refurbishment program is now completed!

🪴 This full refurbishment process has converted three older homes into near-near homes that are more energy efficient, accessible and livable.

🎉 To celebrate this milestone, we've put together a behind-the-scenes before-and-after video to show just how far this space has come.

Check out the video for a glimpse at the transformation.

Made possible with the support of the Department of Housing and Works.

⭐ It was amazing to hear directly from young people and frontline Youth Workers. AYSA Youth Worker, Chrystie, explained that a Great Southern Youth Foyer is "absolutely needed" in Albany to support better outcomes for regional youth.

Seeing firsthand:
🔴 A young person sleeping in a box behind a shopping centre while still attempting to go to school and play sport to have a shower.
🔴 Young people working, while living in a tent, staying at an unpowered caravan site for $350/ week given a lack of available, affordable housing.
🔴 Young people dropping out of education, given unstable housing situations and leaving the region given a lack of local supported housing options.

In Albany WA, the housing crisis is hitting young people hard.

🔓 We have a plan to change this.

Advance Housing and Albany Youth Support Association is ready to deliver:
🔑 10 bed youth refuge to provide immediate safety
🔑 50 transitional beds to provide a two-year pathway to independence.

The Youth Foyer model works. Across Australia, 80% of young people exits Foyers into stable housing, employment, and education.

According to Chrystie, a Great Southern Youth Foyer would "make a massive difference, adding safety and support to young people".

✅ Partners are ready
✅ Land, concept designs and builders panel are ready
✅ Funding applications have been submitted
✅ Local government and community leaders are ready
✅ Young people are ready

All we need now is to secure government funding to make this happen.

🔒 Seeing first-hand how young people are locked out of the housing market for both renting and buying, Jeremy Stewart, explains why a Great Southern Youth Foyer is needed in Albany.

As Principal of Merrifield Real Estate, Jeremy sees:
🔴An undersupply of housing for young people
🔴The average young person lives at home until 28 years
🔴Young people with no rental history and lower incomes locked out of the housing market

With a private vacancy rate of 0.2% (December 2025) and growing social housing wait lists, the chance of a young person who is unable to live at home securing housing in this market is next to zero.

That’s why the Great Southern Youth Foyer project is so vital.

🔓 By combining 10 crisis beds with 50 transitional beds with onsite support, unlocks opportunities for young people, with benefit the whole community.

The Youth Foyer model works. Across Australia, 80% of young people exit Foyers into stable housing, employment, and education.

✅ Business leaders support the Great Southern Youth Foyer
✅ Local government support the project
✅ Land is ready
✅ Young people are ready
