Housing Victoria (previously the Department of Health and Human Services) has prepared a renewal plan for the Horace Petty, Bangs, King and Essex streets housing estates.

The plan will guide the long-term renewal of housing, outdoor areas and community facilities at the four sites.

The estates, built nearly 50 years ago, need a comprehensive plan to improve their liveability and better connect them with surrounding precincts.

Renewal of the Bangs Street estate has been scheduled, and preparatory and demolition works were completed in December 2020.
