TOGA Tries Again for Uplift with $553m Five Dock Precinct Proposal

The site has multiple frontages across lots at 51-55 and 61 Parramatta Road, and 33, 35-41 and 43 Queens Road.

A mix of 676 build-to-sell and build-to-rent apartments along with 190 co-living units are proposed. The application calls for 7.5 per cent of residential gross floor area of 57,822sq m to be allocated as affordable housing in perpetuity, in excess of the Local Area Plan requirement.

▲ A new masterplan for the area calls for growth from 3400 to 30,700 residents over the next two decades.

A full-line 4205sq m supermarket is also proposed, along with 4045sq m of other non-residential GFA. A Coles is already operating in the locale, while Deicorp is developing a supermarket as part of its $1.8-billion, 1185-home Kings Bay Village to the west.

TOGA had filed a 1050-home proposal with the City of Canada Bay in early 2024, which was rejected in October of that year.

However, according to the application now on exhibition, a development of the scale proposed is supported by the NSW housing reforms; the strategic Sydney Plan which was finalised in August 2026; Housing Delivery Authority endorsement; and the Deicorp development.

▲ The Parramatta Road commuter corridor has been under-utilised for decades.

Given that the Five Dock Precinct Masterplan calls for uplift from 3400 residents and 1540 homes to 30,700 residents and 14,000 homes over the next two decades, TOGA’s proposal for homes and another supermarket is in line with the suburb’s growth, the application states.

Parramatta Road’s decay has troubled planning ministers, business and community groups for decades. However, councils and state authorities have been casting fresh eyes at the corridor under Premier Chris Minns’ and planning minister Paul Scully’s reform agenda.
