Record investment for existing homes


£30million boost will see hu benefit from improvements

BATHROOM DELIGHT: More of our customers, like Helen Dick, pictured, can look forward to new bathrooms


OVER the next four years we will spend £30.5 million improving homes across Dunedin Canmore communities.


This investment in existing homes doubles the amount of improvement work originally planned by Dunedin Canmore over the next four years. The increase is being funded by money raised by our parent organisation Wheatley Group through a public bond in late 2014 and is one of the real benefits for Dunedin Canmore tenants of being part of Wheatley.


The investment project will include work to upgrade tenement buildings, repair roofs, modernise heating systems, replace kitchens, bathrooms, windows and doors and improve neighbourhoods. Managing Director Hazel Young said: “The investment shows our commitment to improving the homes of our customers. It’s important to keep building new homes but we also recognise how vital it is to make sure our existing customers have clean safe and attractive living environments. “Hundreds of people will benefit from these improvements which will make sure our homes remain warm, dry and comfortable well into the future.”


Plans for the improvements happening in local areas have been created and you can read more about them on page 5.
