A Melbourne developer has turned its attention from its usual high-end projects for a 13-storey affordable housing proposal at Dandenong’s city centre.

Jacmax Developments has filed plans with the Victorian Department of Transport and Planning for the tower on an 836sq m site at 18-24 Scott Street, 29km south-east of the Melbourne CBD.

The site is next to the Revitalising Central Dandenong project (RCD).
