There’s a huge number of new masterplanned communities in various states of development across NSW, with areas to the north-west and south-west of Sydney experiencing the greatest activity.

Civil works and construction are under way across a large number of new estates, while in other areas, land parcels are being released to the market in stages.

Even in the midst of a new home development boom, there are questions about whether the pipeline is robust enough to deliver the 42,000 new homes that need to be built each year in Sydney for the next 40 years to meet population growth.
