Delivering solutions: Believe Housing Australia opens new homes in Panorama

In April, Believe Housing Australia celebrated the opening of its $13.7 million, four-level apartment building at Panorama, a big step toward providing more high-quality affordable housing in South Australia.

The development features 23 modern homes now accommodating 33 residents, including singles, couples, families, and individuals living with disability. The project was officially opened by Federal Minister for Housing and Homelessness Clare O’Neil and South Australian Minister for Housing and Urban Development Nick Champion, alongside Believe Housing Australia staff and sector partners.


Supported by the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF), Panorama is among the first developments in the state to receive this vital investment. This project reflects what is possible when sector expertise and government investment come together to meet real community needs.


“This development is more than just bricks and mortar - it is about creating lasting change for the people and communities we serve,” said Stacey Northover, Executive General Manager of Housing Services. “Panorama is a demonstration of how we can design and deliver quality housing that responds directly to the needs of our communities.”


For university students Ali and Parya, Panorama has been life-changing. The couple had been living between their families’ homes while juggling study and financial pressure. “Everything was out of our budget,” said Ali, a PhD student researching blood cancer treatments. “When we got the call, it felt like the beginning of our life together.”


Now living independently in a supportive community, they’ve found not just a home - but the foundation for a secure and hopeful future.

As one of South Australia’s largest Tier 1 providers, Believe Housing Australia remains committed to delivering housing solutions that promote stability, independence, and thriving communities.
