Coombs is the first Canberra suburb to have its public housing planned from the outset and the ACT government aims to have it built by Christmas next year.
The Land Development Agency has submitted plans to construct 158 units on seven separate sites across the new suburb on the Molonglo River.
Four of the seven proposed multi-unit development applications under review by the ACT Planning and Land Authority are for 25-dwelling constructions, with a 17 unit construction proposed for Woodbury Avenue and Cornelius Street and a 16 unit building planned for Taggart Terrace.
