Moray Council to invest £10 million in affordable housing, including key developments in Lossiemouth, Aberlour, and Elgin South
The council and its housing partners are to invest almost £10 million in affordable housing over the next year, supported by funding from the Scottish Government.
Yesterday (June 24), the housing and community safety committee reviewed the Affordable Housing Investment Programme, which outlines current progress and future plans to deliver affordable homes across Moray.
A total of 228 new affordable homes are either under construction or scheduled to start before the end of March 2026, including key developments in Lossiemouth, Aberlour, and Elgin South.
The programme continues to be delivered through partnerships with Housing Associations, including Grampian Housing Association, Osprey Housing and Places for People, alongside Moray Council’s own new build and acquisition initiatives.
The committee also received an update on the Bilbohall development following electricity supply challenges.
Moray Council has now agreed on a way to allow the delivery of 106 homes on the site.
Tendering for construction is underway, with contract approvals expected later this year and site works expected to start soon after.
Chair of Moray Council’s housing and community safety committee, Cllr Amber Dunbar, said: “We continue to make progress in delivering affordable housing in Moray, and continue to work with our partners to address demand. While challenges remain, work is underway to address these, and this programme reflects our ongoing commitment to provide quality homes for our communities.”
