An $80.5 million social housing project in Punchbowl has been approved, clearing the way for 114 apartments at 150 The Boulevarde and 34 Dudley Street.

The State Significant Development consent allows two eight-storey residential buildings to be delivered by the NSW Land and Housing Corporation. The project is recorded as 100% affordable housing, with the tenure mix described as 100% social housing.
