The standard.net.au reports from Warrnambool in southeastern Australia on the Indian Ocean all 17 lots designated for affordable housing sold within hours of being placed on the block by the Warrnambool City Council. Seven of the homes were snapped up by Rod Stephens of Modular Homes, as MHProNews has been informed. Aimed at responding to high median prices in the city, the initiative is part of a federally supported project that will subsidize low-income housing.
