    Questions

    Victoria co-living FAQs.

    Do you build co-living properties outside Melbourne?

    Yes. We design and construct purpose-built co-living and rooming house developments across Victoria, including Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo. The same feasibility, design, planning and construction process applies, with council and zoning requirements specific to each regional location.

    Is co-living viable in regional Victoria?

    It can be. Regional centres with strong employment anchors — hospitals, universities and logistics — support rooming-house demand. Lower land costs can lift yields, though room rents are typically below Melbourne. A site-specific feasibility assessment confirms whether a regional site stacks up.

    Which Victorian regions suit co-living best?

    Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are the strongest regional opportunities because of their hospital and university precincts, V/Line connectivity to Melbourne and affordable land. Demand depth varies by suburb, so local research is essential before committing.

    Do regional councils treat rooming houses differently?

    The Victorian planning framework applies statewide, but each council applies its own policy on rooming houses and multi-dwelling development. Heritage, neighbourhood character and overlay considerations differ. Early engagement with the relevant regional council is recommended.
