Landcom Files Plans for 1200 Apartments in South-West Sydney

Landcom SW NSW hero

Landcom has lodged plans for 16 apartment blocks for one of the fastest-growing areas in New South Wales.

The NSW government land and property developer has resubmitted plans for a 18.3ha site at Goldsmith Avenue in Campbelltown, next to the new Macarthur metro station. 

The site, bound by Goldsmith Avenue, Gilchrist Drive and the southern railway line, is about 53km southwest of the Sydney CBD.

Plans include 1250 homes and 2000sq m of retail and commercial spaces. 

Landcom is also planning a new civic plaza, a central park and active play spaces as well as more than 13ha of open space, preserving Cumberland Plain Woodland, River Flat Eucalypt Forest and Bow Bowing Reserve.

The one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and terraces planned for the project will be across buildings up to nine-storeys high and will also include affordable rental housing for key workers.

The apartment buildings will be constructed in clusters of four around central community spaces and gardens. 

The 34,500sq m development will be built along Bow Bowing Creek and will be directly linked to the station and railway corridor, which runs east to west alongside the site, via a new arrival plaza and walkway.

The developer also plans to incorporate transport initiatives through a regional east-west cycle network as well as a number of walking paths around significant areas of open space on the borders of the site.

▲ Landcom said it had worked hard to listen to community feedback and provide a significant amount of open space that retains the existing creek and biodiversity.

The arrival plaza and park alongside Macarthur station will link commuters to the precinct's key destinations; Western Sydney University, TAFE, MGN and Macarthur Heights, which are all to the north of the site.

Landcom’s development, known as Macarthur Gardens North, has been on the cards since 2015 when the developer prepared a concept plan for the Macarthur Gardens North site.

Landcom proposed the subdivision of the site into terrace lots and the realignment of Bow Bowing Creek to facilitate a maximised development footprint.

Since then the developer has submitted two separate development applications, calling for between 700 and 950 apartments and 56 terraces, before these were rescinded its most recent proposal in mid-2020.

The developer has now implemented feedback from the community to update the project and this has increased the area of vegetation that will be preserved to further protect ecologically sensitive bushland and the natural creek corridor.

“We withdrew both development applications due to recent changes to the Local Environmental Plan for the Campbelltown City Council,” a Landcom spokesperson said. 

“These changes mean that our proposal for 56 terraces was no longer permissible.

“We have now updated our masterplan for Macarthur Gardens North and have lodged a new development application with the Campbelltown City Council.”

“The new concept plan seeks a mixed-use high-density development that delivers a better outcome for both the community and the environment.”

The masterplanned development has been designed and will be delivered as a 5 Star Green Star Community, certified by the Green Building Council of Australia.

A seperate development application for the terraces as part of the project was lodged with the council in early 2020.

Pending approvals from the Sydney Western City Planning Panel, which is the determination authority for this development application, work will begin in mid-2023 with sales to begin in 2024.
