Join Queers in Property for our latest QHouse – an after-hours look at Local: Kensington, one of the newest additions to Local’s growing Melbourne Build-to-Rent portfolio.
A safe place to call home matters to everyone, but for the LGBTQIA+ community, it hasn’t always been a given. Which is why we’re excited to showcase Local: Kensington, built around community, safety and belonging, with shared lounges, co-working, a full gym and gathering spaces designed to bring people together.
The Evening
We’ll base ourselves at nearby Nubilum Distillery, living like locals, while the Local team runs small-group tours through the building – a look at the design thinking and the choices that shape how a place actually feels to live in
Then back to the distillery for drinks, bites and the bit we love most: time together as a queermunity. This event is for LGBTQIA+ members, friends and supporting allies – everyone’s welcome.
This event is generously empowered by Hacer, Hayball, and Local:
The Highlights
- Exclusive small-group building tours
- Insights into BTR, sustainability and inclusive housing
- Networking with the QIP community, allies and the Local team
- Social drinks and bites at Nubilum Distillery
Getting there
Yes, we’re in the burbs, but closer than you’d think! Macaulay is just three stops from Flinders Street on the Upfield line, roughly a 10-minute ride, with a short stroll to both the building and the distillery from there. Best to hop on the train – and we’ll make it worth the trip 😉
Can’t wait to show you around,
Queerleaders xoxo
