Thousands more homes will be delivered in one of Sydney’s fastest growing suburbs following approval of Landcom’s visionary plan to reshape the future of Edmondson Park.
Landcom has gained planning approval for its Concept Plan Modification for 3,030 new homes to be built on vacant land north of Edmondson Park train station.
This represents an increase of almost seven times the number of homes from the original proposal for the site which would have delivered 440 dwellings.
The increase in dwellings will address housing affordability delivering more homes supported by transport, jobs, facilities and amenit. The 30-hectare site known as “Town Centre North” will be transformed under the Concept Plan Modification - offering future buyers a diverse range of housing options.
Building heights will also increase to accommodate more homes and greater density around the station, supporting the NSW Government’s approach to transport-oriented development.
Landcom has commenced construction of critical roads and infrastructure which is expected to be completed later this year. The first residents will be set to move into the new precinct by the end of 2026.
This signals the next phase of Landcom’s long term vision for Edmondson Park to deliver 7,100 homes for about 17,000 people by 2029.
Edmondson Park is located within the South West Priority Growth Area where Landcom has already enabled supply of approximately 3,800 dwellings since 2011.
