The Minns Labor Government is accelerating its historic social housing roll-out across regional and rural NSW, with Goulburn the latest community to benefit from the state's largest-ever investment in social housing.
Under the record-breaking Building Homes for NSW Program, the Minns Government is investing $6.6 billion to deliver 8,400 new, modern social homes across New South Wales.
More than 1350 new homes have already been delivered across regional NSW since April 2023, with hundreds more on the way including multiple projects in Goulburn.
Work has begun to deliver 29 new social homes on Francis Street and Sanita Street, with a mix of 18 one-bedroom and 11 two-bedroom units, including two fully adaptable homes designed to meet the needs of people with a disability.
Once complete, the project will provide safe and secure accommodation for around 50 residents.
Construction is also progressing on an additional 12 new social homes across multiple sites in Goulburn, with the properties on track for completion by May 2026, creating more quality homes for around 20 people.
The Minns Labor Government is committed to delivering more safe, modern social housing across regional NSW, ensuring communities have the homes they need now and into the future.

- North Coast : 275
- New England & North West: 96
- Western: 497
- Hunter: 87

Minister for Regional New South Wales Tara Moriarty said:
"Investing in social housing strengthens regional communities, supports local jobs and ensures people can stay connected to the places they call home.
"People in regional NSW deserve the same access to secure, high-quality housing as anybody else, and that's exactly what we're delivering in Goulburn.
"We're building thousands of new homes across regional NSW, and Goulburn is a key part of this once-in-a-generation investment."
NSW Minister for Housing and Homelessness Rose Jackson said:
"We're investing more money into social housing than ever before, but it's important that investment is spread right across our state, including in our regions.
"We know regional communities are struggling just as much with rising house prices and we are committed to building more homes in all corners of New South Wales.
"Every new home completed is a significant step towards a fairer, more inclusive state where everyone has the dignity having access to safe, secure, and affordable housing.
"Right across regional NSW we are delivering the social homes people desperately need, and here that means 55 new homes for the people of Goulburn."
