(a)   The 1,390 homes will be delivered across the metropolitan area and contribute to creating vibrant and sustainable communities close to new METRONET and heritage line   stations. The Department of Communities is in the early town planning stage for the sites, with exact locations of the homes expected to be known by the end of the calendar year.
(b) Up to 320 houses will be allocated for social housing.
(c) As urban planning and design works are still underway, the specific number of homes for each of the sites is still to be determined. It is intended that at least 400 affordable homes will be delivered.
(d) As urban planning and design works are still underway, the specific number of homes for each of the sites is still to be determined. It is intended overall that at least 670 homes will be delivered for full market price sale.
