Project: 16 Affordable, Modern Homes


Overview

Horsham Heart is a boutique affordable housing project designed to bring stability, security, and opportunity to families in regional Victoria.

Just minutes from schools, shops, parks, and transport, the project blends lifestyle appeal with essential community access making it ideal for families, essential workers, and local residents.

This development represents the mission of FRWD in action: delivering affordable, high-quality homes that not only provide shelter but strengthen communities for the long term.


Project Highlights

  • Location: 130m to bus stop, 2km to Aldi, 2km, 2km Horsham Medical Group and Health Services, 500m Green Park Kindergarton, 3km Horsham Primary.

  • Product: 16 affordable, modern homes

  • Objective: Deliver quality, affordable homes to address urgent community housing needs


Why Horsham Heart?

  • Critical housing shortage: Horsham’s rental market is under extreme pressure, with a vacancy rate of 0.5%. Local vacancy rates remain well below sustainable levels, leaving little housing choice for new residents and workers.

  • Key worker crisis: Essential workers in healthcare, education, and childcare face housing shortages, putting pressure on vital community services.

  • Strong labour demand: Horsham has a very low unemployment rate which sits below both regional and national averages. Job demand is strong, but without affordable housing the town risks losing the essential workers it depends on.

  • Growth corridor: Positioned within a growth corridor it is a key regional hub primed for housing investment. Increasing supply here will support both local growth and the wider regional workforce.


Why We Love It

Horsham Heart is exactly the type of project FRWD was created for solving real housing challenges with smart, community-first development.

By delivering 16 modern, affordable homes in the heart of Horsham, we’re helping to ease housing pressure, support key workers, and strengthen the future of this growing regional town.
