What’s proposed: 3,200 dwellings and around 80ha of
open space including 40ha of riparian and biodiversity
corridors.
Our role: We are acting as masterplanner and developer
for the entire project. Part of this project is being developed
in a partnering arrangement with Australand. The
Ponds provides a crucial supply of housing pending the
development of other land in the northwest growth centre.
Where it’s up to: Delivery phase, with the first 1,500 lots
sold. Civil works for services, infrastructure and the public
domain are currently underway. Bushland conservation
and regeneration works are being undertaken by Greening
Australia.
Features: The development features a primary school, a
proposed community resource hub and 7,000m 2 of retail
area, and major open space that includes conservation
and riparian corridors. We have also developed a public
art strategy and community development program to
help build cultural identity and a sense of place. Financial
and other incentives have been developed to encourage
residents to support energy efficiency initiatives, including
solar power.
What’s proposed: 1,750 dwellings, a district shopping
centre, leisure and community facilities, open space and
two schools.
Our role: Landcom acted as masterplanner for this project
and has developed the project in partnership with Mirvac.
Our original masterplan and detailed design guidelines
made solar orientation and energy efficient house design
a priority. These principles are now being delivered
throughout the estate in a partnering arrangement with
Mirvac.
Where it’s up to: Nearing completion, with housing sales
almost complete. Major community facilities have been
delivered.
Features: This project sets a new benchmark in urban
design. It features a diverse range of housing, a district
shopping centre, an aquatic centre and innovative
community facilities. It also represents an important supply
of greenfield land and housing.
What’s proposed: Bunya is a masterplanned residential
community which will comprise 730 lots when complete.
Our role: We are managing the planning and delivery of
the new neighbourhood on behalf of the New South Wales
Minister for Planning and Infrastructure.
Where it’s up to: All lots in Precinct 1 have been sold, with
Precinct 2 construction well underway. It is anticipated that
Precinct 2 lot sales will commence in late 2011. The Bunya
Display Village is open, showcasing eight new houses that
meet the higher standard Bunya environmental and design
benchmarks. The 5ha Heritage and View parks are also now
complete.
Features: Part of the sale proceeds from this project will
be used for the development of the adjacent Western
Sydney Parklands. The development will have high quality
public and recreational spaces and a range of sustainability
features, and will contribute diverse and affordable housing.
