Ashwood Chadstone Gateway project (ACGP) is a major housing and urban renewal development providing high quality housing in Ashwood and Chadstone area 15km outside of Melbourne CBD across six sites.

In total the development provides 210 social housing apartments and townhouses, plus a further 72 privately owned dwellings.
