Leppington

Developers are setting their sites further west as the expansion of Sydney continues.

A Metropolis of Three Cities, the Eastern Harbour City, the Central River City and the Western Parkland City, known as The Regional Plan, has been prepared by the Greater Cities Commission in a 40 year vision for Metropolitan Sydney.&nbsp;

It envisions a 30-minute city, where residents live within 30 minutes travel of their job, education and health facilities, services and great places.

The Regional Plan projects that almost half of the population growth in Greater Sydney over the next 40 years will reside west of Parramatta in the Central River City and the Western Parkland City, where two development applications have been lodged.&nbsp;

Plans have been laid for a four-building development at 313 Bringelly Road.&nbsp;

The Salvo Group, who are a Melbourne-based property group, engaged CM+ to design the three, four-level mixed-use buildings.&nbsp;

There will be 242 apartments delivered across the buildings, with 67 to be included in block A, 84 in block B, and 91 across block C.&nbsp;

The project will be one of the area’s early developments and will foster transformation of the northern part of the Leppington Town Centre.

The site’s rural character will be transformed into a vibrant and multifunctional community that facilitates urban living

It’s projected that the population of Western Parkland City will grow to 1.1 million by 2036 and to over 1.5 million by 2056.

The mixed use development will offer living and working opportunities close to Leppington Station, approximately 400-800 metre walking distance from the site.&nbsp;

It will also create a high amenity living precinct, close to public infrastructure, such as&nbsp; the Leppington Train Station and TfNSW Commuter Car Park, along with open spaces including the future green spaces along Scalabrini Creek and Western Sydney Parklands.

There’s further development planned near Leppington Town Centre, on the corner of Ingleburn Rd and Byron Rd.

The plans are for a medium density apartment building, which will deliver a further 63 apartments to the area surrounding the town centre and 18 townhouses.

The development is identified by two building forms, one being a four-storey apartment building consisting of four cores that wraps around the Ingleburn Rd and Byron Rd corner, along with walk-up terrace style homes.&nbsp;

A mix of natural materials will be utilised, tying the project to the surrounding native landscape, with a fine-grain two-tone fibre cement panel facade donning the buildings.&nbsp;

Urban Link Architects are behind the designs of the plans, which will deliver 17 one-bed, 25 two-bed and 21 three-bedroom apartments, along with 18 townhouses.&nbsp;

Separating the two forms will be a communal open space across the ground floor, featuring deep planting creating a pocket park-like atmosphere, outdoor seating space and barbecue facilities, as well as recreational space on level three.&nbsp;

The growth of Western Parkland City is enhanced by the recently finalised Aerotropolis Planning, which will deliver the new Western Sydney Airport at Badgerys Creek Aerotropolis.

The developments also sit within proximity to Leppington Town Centre, along with being just 30-minutes from Sydney Airport, 30 kilometres from Parramatta CBD and about 50 kilometres from the Sydney CBD.

The precinct is also in proximity to Liverpool CBD, which is currently Sydney’s third CBD.

Leppington’s connectivity will be further improved as well by future train links to Western Sydney Aerotropolis.

Camden City set for two residential developments

South-West Sydney rezonings in Glenfield, Leppington and Lowes Creek Maryland are set to create more than 16,000 homes. 
&nbsp; 
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the NSW Government was responding to the increased demand for greenfield housing as a result of the pandemic.

&quot;We are accelerating these rezonings,&rdquo; Mr Stokes said. 
&nbsp; 
The rezoning of Leppington Precinct stages two and five will allow for up to 2,400 new homes.

The Lowes Creek Maryland rezoning (above and below) will support 7,000 homes for 20,000 people.

<img alt="" height="2927" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/marylands_lowes_creek_3_05a.jpg" width="4500" /> 
&nbsp; 
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re also finalising the Glenfield Precinct Place Strategy, expected to create up to 7,000 new homes and 2,900 new jobs. 
&nbsp; 
&ldquo;More homes need more parks, that&rsquo;s why as part of these land releases we&rsquo;ve secured 75 hectares of parkland at Glenfield, 62 hectares at Lowes Creek Maryland and 16 hectares at Leppington.&rdquo;

Tom Forrest, CEO at the Urban Taskforce welcomed the announcement on the rezoning of land for 16,000 new homes in South-West Sydney.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7317 project_image_fid=79245] 
&nbsp; 
&quot;This announcement shows, that with political will and strong leadership, the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment can take the lead to deliver strong growth in housing approvals to drive down the price of new homes. 
&nbsp; 
&quot;This shows what DPIE can do when given clear political leadership.&nbsp;

&quot;State led rezoning will be the most efficient way to get big projects going. 
&nbsp; 
&quot;The Minister for Planning, in June, committed to fast-tracking the decisions on these precincts.&nbsp;

&quot;The commitment acknowledged that there is a housing supply crisis in NSW, and this is driving up the prices of homes, making them unaffordable.&quot; 
&nbsp; 
Forrest added the most recent new homes completion data was again disappointing for Greater Sydney, with new home completions falling well short of the Greater Sydney Commission and NSW Housing Strategy 2021 targets.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32227 project_image_fid=93951]

&quot;The NSW Housing Strategy shows we need at least 40,000 approvals for Greater Sydney every year for the next 20 years.

&quot;In the year to March &ndash; there were on 29,500 new home completions despite the construction industry going flat out during 2020 and the first COVID wave. 
&nbsp; 
&quot;Reversing the drop-off in new home and apartment approvals is critical to solving the housing affordability crisis.&nbsp;

&quot;We will need many more announcements like this if the Minister is committed to making a serious dent into the real, accumulated shortage of approximately 100,000 new homes.&nbsp;

&quot;The same attention and enthusiasm given to the South-West needs to be extended across Greater Sydney for all housing types,&quot; Forrest said.

The rezoning of Leppington Precinct stages two and five will allow for up to 2,400 new homes while in Lowes Creek Maryland, rezoning will support approximately 7,000 homes for 20,000 people

Rawson Communities&rsquo; latest community of Leppington Central delivers the ideal family living experience in Sydney&rsquo;s south-west.

Situated on Heath Road, the site is anchored by a heritage cottage, a rural remnant of the Tegal family farm, one of the first poultry farms in NSW.

The cottage was one of the secondary buildings on site, likely the home of one of the Tegel sons, and not the main homestead itself, according to the development application.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28100 project_image_fid=141042]

&ldquo;The cottage is the most valuable house within the development&rdquo;, the architects said. It provides the foundation of their understanding of the architectural style of the property.

<blockquote>
&ldquo;We seek to draw on the art-deco language, as well as sit with the remnant piece of architecture on site in the heritage cottage&rdquo;, they said.
</blockquote>

A gate, which still stands from the same period, represents the high optimistic art-deco period, even more so than the cottage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28100 project_image_fid=141047]

The heritage features speak of the absolute moment of success when industry was booming and discretionary spend could be afforded on the front entrance.

Leppington Central is set to provide 75 three-bedroom residences on the site, boasting spacious floorplans and convenient access to amenities.

A range of employment and community facilities are planned close by, including business centres, shopping centres, schools and universities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28100 project_image_fid=141045]

A hardstand barbeque area has been included centrally for easy access from all the homes.

Other amenities include a pedestrian loop with a small playground, aimed to entertain toddlers and younger children. &nbsp;

Leppington Central also offers land packages to buyers interested in capitalising on this affordable suburb.

Construction Equipment Australia (CEA) have committed to a 12-year lease on a new $27 million facility in Leppington, a suburb in south-west Sydney.
The Australian machinery distributer will be leasing a space within the Bringelly Business Hub being developed in Joint Venture by Charter Hall and ESR CIP, a wholly owned subsidiary of ESR.
The facility is set on a total of 22,000 square metres, comprising a combined gross lettable area of 7,763 square metres.
It will house a workshop, warehouse and operational areas, including 1,575 square metres for a showroom space.
Hylton Taylor, Chief Executive Officer for CEA, said "the prime locale of the facility will allow CEA to play a key role in providing construction machinery to the projects contributing to the fast-paced development of Western Sydney".
The design and procurement of the facility has been overseen by specialist supply chain and property consultancy firm, TM Insight.
The firm will also project manage the construction of the building and help with the transitionary period.
ESR Australia CEO Philip Pearce stated: “ESR is please to secure a customer of the quality of CEA as the first commitment to Bringelly Business Hub, which is planned to be a landmark park in a growing precent of south Western Sydney with a built out area in excess of 80,000 square metres with end value of circa $120 million.”
The warehouse is aiming to achieve a five-star energy rating through use of solar technology, water recycling and responsible resourcing of materials. 
CEA expects the facility to be operational in October 2019.

Leppington's latest prospective medium density development has asserted itself as one of the emerging apartment enclaves largest.

The abundance of large greenfield blocks has not only given way to detached housing estates, but also an increasing number of hulking, albeit low and medium rise apartment developments. Leppington's relatively close proximity to the Western Sydney Airport has seen a rush of apartment developments come forth, with 297 Bringelly Road one of the latest.

Under plans lodged with Camden Council during June, 360 apartments are expected within two apartment buildings spanning 8 levels.

Urban Link's design for entity G and A Mourched Pty Ltd would replace an early learning centre and vacant land across the site. The development is a mere 100 metres from Leppington Railway Station.

Planning image: Urban Link" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>297 Bringelly Road rendered in its semi rural context. Planning image: Urban Link</figcaption></figure>Dwellings within the proposed development include 2 studio, 79 single bedroom, 242 double bedroom, 34 triple bedroom, and 4 quadruple bedroom options.

297 Bringelly Road's bulk and almost utilitarian exterior expression are balanced out by the liberal landscaping atop and surrounding both buildings. Melissa Wilson Landscape Architects have handled the project's green aspects; given there's little existing civic infrastructure in the area the inclusion of large green areas across the site has taken on added importance.

To that end, both the buildings are bisected by a green spine, with internal courtyards also included within the U-shaped buildings.

Every available square metre across both rooftops has also been dedicated to communal green space. Included on either rooftop is a BBQ area, playground, vegetable garden and viewing platforms.

Planning image: Urban Link" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Ground level expectations. Planning image: Urban Link</figcaption></figure>Leppington's emergence as another Sydney apartment hub dates back to 2015 when rezoning was confirmed for the area, allowing for a future expected population of 30,000 people. Approximately 50 kilometres south-west of the Sydney CBD, the priority growth area includes a major centre surrounding Leppington Railway Station.

Aside from 297 Bringelly Road which sits north of the station on the Bus 855 route, the bulk of other apartment developments are sited south of the station.

Approved is <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/76-rickard-road-leppington">76 Rickard Road</a> which gained the nod during late 2017 via the Sydney Western City Planning Panel, whilst various other projects of note are under assessment. <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/202-byron-road-leppington">202 Byron Road</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/215-rickard-road-leppington">215 Rickard Road</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/120-ingleburn-road-leppington">120 Ingleburn Road</a> are still active at planning and have the ability to add as many as 2,157 apartments when combined with 297 Bringelly Road.

It is though not all smooth sailing for developers wishing to stake a claim in Leppington. <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/28-ingleburn-road-leppington">28 Ingleburn Road</a> was refused early during 2018, with a similar fate dealt to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/35-ingleburn-road-leppington">35 Ingleburn Road</a> only last month.
