Green Light for Next Housing Phase of Sydney’s Ed Square

Two lowrise housing developments have been approved in Sydney’s south-west, led by the next built-form stage of Frasers Property Australia’s Ed Square.

Together, the approvals clear 46 homes across two sites at Edmondson Park, including a staged residential release within Ed Square and a separate integrated housing scheme on Changsha Road.

The Frasers approval is within Ed Square, a 24ha masterplanned precinct beside Edmondson Park Station, 40km south-west of the Sydney CBD.

Ed Square, part of the former Edmondson Park South release, is a mixed-use precinct planned to deliver about 1880 apartments, terraces and townhouses around a regional town centre.

Delivery across the precinct has progressed under a long-running concept approval, with residential stages rolled out alongside retail, commercial and civic uses.

At the centre of the precinct is the Ed Square Town Centre, spanning about 40,000sq m of retail and commercial floorspace, more than 60 shops, dining and entertainment uses and more than 900 undercover car parking spaces.

The Liverpool Council’s latest consent relates to Stage 8 of the residential rollout (pictured at top), approving 19 attached homes on land fronting Campbelltown Road.

The $11.13-million scheme includes landscaping to private open space, public domain works, construction of a new laneway road and a community title subdivision creating 19 residential lots, an expanded community association lot and a residual lot.

Earlier approvals across Ed Square covered a mix of housing delivery, retail development and enabling infrastructure, including bulk earthworks, roads and civil works required to service the precinct.

Superlot plan waved ahead

A second approval relates to a residual superlot on Changsha Road, filed by Inzitari Holdings, within an established subdivision area of Edmondson Park and separate from the Ed Square town centre.

The Liverpool Council signed off on the $15.3-million integrated housing scheme delivering 27 two-storey homes and two studio secondary homes, alongside new local roads and civil works.

Known as Lot 231 Changsha Road, the 1.03ha parcel was created through earlier subdivision approvals tied to the broader Edmondson Park release area, where infrastructure delivery has preceded housing.

While largely vacant, the site already accommodates part-built road infrastructure and a temporary bio-retention facility, approved under earlier consents.

Under the staged consent, stage one would deliver 22 homes, the studio units and most subdivision works, including completion of Bartle Lane, Ardennes Avenue and Arnhem Road.

Two residual superlots would allow the remaining homes to be delivered later, once downstream infrastructure and adjoining road connections are in place.

Stage two, split into two sub-stages, would complete the final five homes, subject to further road extensions and council stormwater works.

All homes would be Torrens titled, with rear-loaded garages and a two-storey built form.

Zoning comprises R1 General Residential, with portions zoned SP2 Infrastructure. No public submissions were received, and approval was granted under delegated authority in early January.
