State Significant Development Application for affordable housing

As part of our plans for a new neighbourhood in Glenfield, we are planning to deliver affordable homes for very low, low and moderate income earners near the train station.

We want to provide more affordable housing to help meet the diverse needs of the local community across southwest Sydney.

Key features:

• 120 affordable rental apartments
• up to eight-storeys high
• a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms
• landscaped areas on the rooftop and ground floor
• close access to transport, shops and services.

The project will be owned and operated by a community housing provider. Community housing providers are not-for-profit, mission-driven organisations that own, develop, and maintain affordable rental housing for approved applicants.

The project is part of Landcom’s commitment to increasing the supply of affordable housing in NSW and responds to growing demand in area, where many households are experiencing rental stress.

Delivery of affordable housing is subject to funding/subsidies.

Landcom is lodging a State Significant Development Application with the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure. The Department will place the application on public exhibition for the community to review and make submissions, before they undertake their assessment.

Landcom is progressively developing land on the western side of the railway in Glenfield to create a new town centre with a mix of homes, open spaces and community facilities. The first stage of development is to the north of Roy Watts Road, near the existing commuter car park. This stage will create new roads to support 18 terrace houses and around 500 apartments, including 120 affordable rental homes.
