Project Orange Orchard: The Orchard Domestic Violence Accommodation in Orange

  • Type: Crisis Accommodation
  • Size: Community Facility with 6 Units

  • Project Value: $4.1m

In 2020, Housing Plus built The Orchard Orange – one of the first Core and Cluster purpose-built women and children’s domestic and family violence centre. The Orchard consists of a ‘core’ building containing meeting rooms, communal facilities, a crèche and overnight accommodation for one member of staff; and a ‘cluster’ of three duplex buildings, each containing two two-bedroom villas (six units in total). These are fully enclosed and set in landscaped gardens.

This independent living model is a considerable improvement to the communal refuge accommodation that has been standard in crisis care for many decades and better meets the needs of individual families, providing women and children leaving violence the best opportunity for trauma recovery.

The developments are built to a 7-star rating under the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme. This project was funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services, the NSW Department of Communities & Justice, local sponsorship and fundraising.
