State Unlocks Surplus Central Coast, Newcastle Sites

Six further sites are to be unlocked for development as the NSW Government’s audit of surplus land continues to uncover sites for housing.

As part of Property and Development NSW’s land audit, government-owned land surplus to requirements in metropolitan and regional areas are being identified for divestment.

The new tranche comprises three sites on the Central Coast, a site at Warabrook near Newcastle and two sites, at Castle Hill and Blacktown, in Greater Sydney.

More than 160 homes could be delivered on the Central Coast sites, at Warabrook and Gosford, and more than 25 homes could be delivered at the Greater Sydney sites.

The Warabrook site could deliver 35 homes, the government said.

The announcement brings to 8100 the number of potential homes for sites identified by the land audit.

The audit is part of the state’s plan to deliver 30,000 homes through the $6.6-billion Building Homes for NSW program.


Due diligence, planning and regulatory approvals will be obtained before final confirmation of the quantity and types of housing on the sites. 

The Government also revealed it has employed a new tool, Land iQ, as part of the audit process.

An expressions-of-interest campaign is under way for developers to submit proposals for three sites announced earlier this month—at Box Road, Wakeley; Windsor Road, Rouse Hill; and Sparks Road, Wallarah.

The state expects more than 350 homes to be delivered across those sites.

That campaign ends on April 23. The campaign for the latest sites is yet to begin.
