Blair Athol Press Release

At Rivergum, we firmly believe that homeownership should be a realistic goal for all South Australians. It should never feel out of reach.

That’s why we are genuinely excited to announce the completion and handover of 30 brand-new homes in Blair Athol, marking a significant milestone in our partnership with the SA Housing Authority’s Affordable Homes Initiative.

The Affordable Homes Initiative is a vital program aimed at making homeownership more attainable for South Australians. It offers a variety of housing options either at below-market prices or through assistance schemes such as shared equity. Our collaboration with the Authority underscores our commitment to ensuring that more people can secure a home of their own without compromising on quality or design.

Recently, Tony Scott, General Manager of Projects at Rivergum, had the opportunity to walk through one of these new Rivergum homes at Blair Athol with Minister Champion. The homes, each thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted, feature two bedrooms, one bathroom, and convenient off-street parking. Each floor plan has been meticulously curated to provide easy and convenient living, all within a modern, high-quality, and architecturally designed home.

Tony Scott expressed our pride in participating in this initiative, saying,

“Rivergum is proud to contribute to the realisation of this community by providing architecturally designed homes at an affordable price point. Being involved in special projects like this is a testament to our commitment to helping South Australians achieve homeownership.”

Every home in this project is offered as a full turnkey solution, which means that all finishing touches and essential fixtures are included. This ensures that new homeowners can move in seamlessly, without the stress of additional expenses. Each home comes equipped with built-in robes in all bedrooms and kitchens fitted with an oven, cooktop, and dishwasher, making the transition to homeownership as smooth as possible.

Our dedication to making homeownership accessible doesn’t end here. Rivergum is excited to continue our work with the SA Housing Authority. Next financial year, we are set to start construction on an additional 17 double-storey homes in Blair Athol. This ongoing effort reflects our unwavering commitment to helping everyday South Australians achieve a fundamental right: owning a home they are proud of.

As we look forward to continuing our partnership with the Authority, we remain steadfast in our mission to bring high-quality, affordable housing solutions to the communities. At Rivergum, we are optimistic about the future and tenacious in our pursuit of making homeownership a reality for more South Australians.
