Camden

Mirvac has turned the first sod at its newest masterplanned community in New South Wales, located adjacent to the historic township of Cobbitty in Camden.&nbsp;

The $648 million project, Cobbitty by Mirvac, will deliver a new all-electric community of 900 homes while also creating more than 4,000 local jobs during construction.

The new community, officially opened by New South Wales Minister for Planning and Minister for Homes Anthony Roberts, is proposed to feature a playing field and village green, town centre, a lake and a range of parks and landscaped open spaces.&nbsp;

Nature will also take centre stage in the development with existing wetland corridors to be restored as a safe haven for native flora and fauna, in addition to extensive networks of walking trails and cycleways which are planned to promote connectivity and connection to nature throughout the neighbourhood.

Mirvac’s Head of Residential, Stuart Penklis, said Camden is one of the most popular growth areas of Sydney but supply is limited.

“With Camden recently named as having one of the most significant housing supply shortages in NSW1, coupled with its population projected to almost double by 20412, the new community is set to provide a much-needed boost to housing options in the area.”

“To be able to get these first homes to market is great news, especially for first home buyers and young families wanting a new chapter in a high-quality new community,” Penklis said.

Stage 1 of the project comprises 120 lots, with the first release of 20 Torrens Title sites ranging in size from 270 sqm through to 525 sqm, set to be available from February. Future releases will include lots over 1000 sqm.

All residents will have access to electric living, giving them the ability to charge vehicles or use lower energy appliances like induction cooktops, and offset their electricity costs with solar power, providing significant potential savings.

Mirvac’s General Manager, Residential Development NSW, Toby Long said Mirvac is also planning the development to respond to the existing Cobbitty village and has carefully considered the heritage of the area in designing the new community.

“Our vision for Cobbitty is to build a legacy project for south west Sydney where residents can enjoy the lifestyle of an idyllic and connected rural setting, that has the infrastructure to support contemporary living,” said Long.

Embedded in the South West Growth Area, Cobbitty is expected to continue to attract substantial public and private investment for decades due to its proximity to the Western Sydney Aerotropolis, home of Sydney’s much anticipated second airport.

“Cobbitty stands to benefit from the multi-billion dollar infrastructure investment already underway in the region including the new airport and significant transport upgrades,” Long added.&nbsp;

Attending the recent sod-turning event, New South Wales Minister for Planning and Minister for Homes, Anthony Roberts, said the NSW Government is investing in several funding initiatives to help Camden Council deliver major infrastructure projects.

“As one of the fast-growing areas, Camden and surrounding suburbs will benefit from over $140 million worth of funding. This investment is set to deliver several road upgrades, enhanced public spaces and created new town precincts, making South Western Sydney a great place to live and work,” Roberts said.

Penklis said Mirvac’s track record of quality development over five decades has never been more important as buyers grapple with a range of challenges from interest rate movements to rising costs.

“Our customers want to buy into a community with a trusted and reliable name. The integration of best in field experts involved in every step of the process, from conception to completion to after sales customer care, is a clear competitive advantage for Mirvac. For the customer, this guarantees absolute confidence that the mark of Mirvac quality is embedded in every little detail on each and every project,” he said.

Other major infrastructure earmarked for the region includes the second stage of the Campbelltown Hospital redevelopment, the M12 motorway, and the new North-South rail line between St Marys and Macarthur which will ultimately link Cobbitty locals seamlessly with the Western Sydney Aerotropolis and Sydney CBD.

Mirvac breaks ground at 80-hectare Cobbitty community, Cobbitty by Mirvac

Mirvac has acquired an 80-hectare parcel of zoned land in Cobbitty, Camden, which it plans to turn into a new masterplanned community to respond to the surging demand for new homes in Sydney&rsquo;s south west.

The property development group secured the south west growth corridor site from Australian property funds and development firm, Roberts Jones.

Colliers agent Frank Oliveri, who was responsible for the deal, said the transaction helped reflect the strength of the residential development site market in Western Sydney.

&ldquo;This property was highly sought after by both institutional developers and a number of the large home builders in the region.

&ldquo;Residential lots have increased by over 25% in many parts of the market and developers have paid higher prices to secure land stock in the short to medium term&rdquo;, Oliveri said.

Adjacent to the existing suburbs of Oran Park and Harrington Grove, the future community is set to deliver approximately 950 land lots from 225sqm to 1,000sqm, playing fields, a future town centre and community facilities, subject to approval.

Located less than 10 kilometres away from Mirvac&rsquo;s recently completed Crest project at Gledswood Hills, the project will continue the developer&rsquo;s legacy in south west Sydney, according to head of residential, Stuart Penklis.

&ldquo;Having successfully delivered Crest, we&rsquo;re excited to once again be in a position to contribute to Sydney&rsquo;s rapidly evolving south west corridor&rdquo;, he said.

&ldquo;Future residents will relish the picturesque rural aspects of this countryside setting, while benefitting from the adjacent Macarthur Anglican school and other established amenity of Oran Park.&rdquo;

According to Penklis, land and homes in this area are experiencing strong demand due to significant local infrastructure investment including the new Western Sydney International Airport and Aerotropolis now taking shape.

&ldquo;Our passion for reimagining urban life and our commitment to best practice design, sustainability and placemaking principles will guide the vision and masterplan for this new community&rdquo;, he said.

An initial development approval for the first 150 lots is expected to be filed shortly, targeting early activation of the amenity in order to set the foundations for a sustainable, connected community.

The project is expected to be released in mid-2022.

The Brighton trophy home merry-go-round appears to be well oiled with the former Aussie cricketer Shane Warne selling his redundant home, Camden at a likely $5 million plus through JP Dixon's Paul McKenzie and Marcus Gollings.
The four bedroom manor, modelled on a Mediterranean villa (above), has been bought by Lyn Watson who has been known to be seeking such a home. Warne bought it from IMG's Australian head, Martin Jolly, for $3.95 million in 2014.
The cricket legend will be moving back into Melville, the Brighton trophy that he previously shared with ex-wife Simone Callahan.
He sold Melville nine years ago in 2007 for $8.8 million and is rumoured to have spent $14 million plus on it this time round. Neighbours have heard keen to host a house warming early December.
