Developing major centres<br />

The New Rouse Hill<br />

Developing major centres<br />

Oran Park Town<br />

Developing major centres<br />

Green Square Town Centre<br />

14<br />

Where:<br />

Windsor Road, Rouse Hill<br />

Council: The Hills Shire<br />

Area:<br />

122ha<br />

What’s proposed: Up <strong>to</strong> 1,800 dwellings, 200,000m 2 of<br />

retail and commercial area, community and recreation<br />

facilities, and 32ha of public open space including 27ha of<br />

riparian corridor conservation area.<br />

Our role: The Department of Planning and Infrastructure<br />

developed <strong>the</strong> planning concept. <strong>Landcom</strong> is managing<br />

this project through a partnering arrangement with Lend<br />

Lease and <strong>the</strong> GPT Group.<br />

Where it’s up <strong>to</strong>: Delivery phase. Stage 1 of <strong>the</strong> Rouse<br />

Hill Town Centre, comprising 73,000m 2 of mixed retail,<br />

commercial, recreational, civic and residential floor space,<br />

opened in March 2008. Two schools and <strong>the</strong> community<br />

facilities at Mungerie House are now open. Work on <strong>the</strong><br />

sou<strong>the</strong>rn residential precinct is complete and work is<br />

currently underway on <strong>the</strong> eastern residential precinct<br />

(188 lots).<br />

Features: This $1.5 billion regional centre will eventually<br />

serve a population <strong>the</strong> size of Canberra. <strong>Landcom</strong> adopted<br />

a ’main street‘ model as <strong>the</strong> basis for <strong>the</strong> $470 million <strong>to</strong>wn<br />

centre, which is being developed over 12 years <strong>to</strong> cater for<br />

<strong>the</strong> future demands of Sydney’s northwest. Despite its size,<br />

<strong>the</strong> project has a significantly smaller ecological footprint<br />

than o<strong>the</strong>r similarly sized centres.<br />

Where:<br />

Council: Camden<br />

Area:<br />

Oran Park Drive, Oran Park<br />

300ha (approximately)<br />

What’s proposed: Over 2,700 dwellings, a major <strong>to</strong>wn centre,<br />

a retirement village, public open space, riparian conservation<br />

corridors, community and leisure facilities and schools.<br />

Our role: We are partnering with <strong>the</strong> Greenfields<br />

Development Company <strong>to</strong> develop <strong>the</strong> largest landholding<br />

within <strong>the</strong> southwest growth centre. Our role is <strong>to</strong> deliver <strong>the</strong><br />

first 2,700 lots in <strong>the</strong> larger 8,000 lot Oran Park precinct.<br />

Where it’s up <strong>to</strong>: The first residential stages were launched in<br />

2010 and <strong>the</strong> first 20 families moved in in early 2011. There are<br />

now 120 dwellings completed in addition <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> existing 43<br />

home display village. A retirement village is under construction<br />

and <strong>the</strong> first school will open its doors for <strong>the</strong> 2012 school year.<br />

The strategic social plan is being implemented with <strong>the</strong> recent<br />

appointment of a community facilita<strong>to</strong>r.<br />

Features: This project represents an opportunity <strong>to</strong> set <strong>the</strong><br />

benchmark for housing diversity, dwelling density, urban<br />

design, communications, infrastructure and <strong>to</strong>wn centre<br />

development in <strong>the</strong> southwest growth centre. One of our key<br />

objectives is <strong>to</strong> provide major facilities including schools and<br />

retirement homes, and significant community, leisure and<br />

retail facilities in <strong>the</strong> very early stages of development.<br />

By guaranteeing access <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>se facilities upfront, we are<br />

aiming <strong>to</strong> encourage a strong feeling of community among<br />

<strong>the</strong> first residents.<br />

Where: Above and adjacent <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Green Square Railway Station, Zetland<br />

Council: City of Sydney<br />

Area: 14ha<br />

What’s proposed: The entire Town Centre will include<br />

410,000m 2 of mixed use gross floor area comprising<br />

around 2,500 dwellings and 120,000m 2 of commercial and<br />

retail area <strong>to</strong> be built around a series of public plazas and<br />

community facilities. It is expected <strong>to</strong> accommodate 5,500<br />

residents and 7,000 workers.<br />

Our role: We resolved <strong>the</strong> site’s complex planning and<br />

infrastructure constraints <strong>to</strong> unlock <strong>the</strong> potential of <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>wn<br />

centre. It is one of Australia’s largest and most transforming<br />

urban renewal projects. <strong>Landcom</strong> is developing <strong>the</strong> retail<br />

and mixed use core (approximately 6ha with a <strong>to</strong>tal gross<br />

floor area of 211,000m 2 ). Our work is expected <strong>to</strong> generate<br />

$1.7 billion of direct investment in <strong>NSW</strong>.<br />

Where it’s up <strong>to</strong>: We have consolidated government lands,<br />

secured private sec<strong>to</strong>r investment interest and intend <strong>to</strong><br />

start construction in 2012, via a partnering arrangement<br />

with Green Square Consortium (Mirvac Projects/Leigh<strong>to</strong>n<br />

Properties).<br />

Features: Green Square Town Centre is identified as a<br />

‘planned major centre’ in <strong>the</strong> Metropolitan Strategy and is<br />

located at <strong>the</strong> heart of one of <strong>the</strong> largest redevelopment<br />

areas in <strong>the</strong> country. The development will showcase<br />

world-class urban renewal, underpinned by environmental,<br />

social and economic sustainability.
