Built, Liverpool Council Top Out Civic Centre First Stage

One of Australia’s biggest builders is helping the city council put Liverpool on the map, completing the first stage of the city’s $600-million civic centre. 

Built is the developer and builder of the Liverpool City Centre in partnership with the Liverpool City Council. Development director Jono Cottee said it was a “unique journey”.

No stranger to building city centres, Built was instrumental in the delivery of Parramatta Square.

“The view up there is pretty interesting, looking back over to Sydney and Parramatta. There’s nothing really like that in Liverpool,” Cottee said.

“The council’s chambers burnt down in 2010 and they’ve had this long-term vision of building new chambers, a public library and council offices.”

Cottee said the joint venture was the first of its kind that Built had undertaken and they were hoping to break ground on the next phase of the project, a 20,500sq m commercial building and an 80-room hotel, in 2024. 

“That’s going to be tenant-driven,” he said. 

“This development is going to put Liverpool on the map. It’s strategically located between two airports and we are in discussions with businesses about relocating to Liverpool and creating internal spaces that would accommodate non-traditional businesses.

“There is a first mover advantage for a range of business and knowledge-based industries such as health and education, that will be first to attract and retain Liverpool's globally skilled and highly-educated workforce.”

The fjcstudion-designed precinct will create Sydney’s newest public square in its third CBD that would provide a focal point for multicultural festivals and community activities, reflecting the city’s diverse community. 

Liverpool mayor Ned Mannoun said the city was emerging as an economic powerhouse and that Sydney’s third CBD had driven $13 billion in transport and infrastructure investment into the city.

“South West Sydney is one of Sydney’s fastest growing districts and the opening of the Western Sydney International Airport and Aerotropolis has catalysed investment in a wide range of knowledge-intensive industries that will also generate significant employment and economic opportunities for the south-west region,” Mannoun said.

“Liverpool will be at the centre of this growth and will strategically connect businesses from east to west. It will also be home to one of the city’s fastest growing and most inclusive populations which is expected to double to half a million people in the next 20 years.”
