3 & 9 Duke Street, Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour, NSW | 27 February 2022
Mission Australia has officially opened its new community hub at 9 Duke Street, Coffs Harbour, alongside a new social and affordable housing development at 3–5 Duke Street, creating an integrated precinct that combines secure housing with vital support services for the Mid North Coast community.
The official opening was attended by His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd), Governor-General of Australia, and Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley, together with Mission Australia Chief Executive Officer James Toomey, local partners and community representatives. As Patron of Mission Australia, the Governor-General recognised the importance of collaboration between government, community organisations and local partners in delivering practical solutions to homelessness and housing insecurity.
The new Mission Australia Centre provides a welcoming, purpose-built facility from which a range of services are delivered, including housing and homelessness support, private rental assistance, mental health programs, family services and community wellbeing initiatives.
Complementing the Centre is a modern 40-apartment social and affordable housing development, providing safe, secure accommodation for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The project responds to growing demand for affordable housing in the Coffs Harbour region and reflects Mission Australia’s commitment to providing not only housing, but the support services needed to help people achieve long-term stability.
Together, the Duke Street developments represent a significant investment in the local community, demonstrating how thoughtfully designed housing, integrated with accessible support services, can improve lives and strengthen communities.
The precinct will continue to play an important role in addressing housing need across the Mid North Coast while providing vulnerable individuals and families with the opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity, independence and hope.
