•• At North Tuncurry, a Native Title Agreement signing ceremony took place in November, which is a critical milestone for this significant place-making development on the New South Wales Mid-North Coast. The agreement provides employment opportunities for local Aboriginal people, including work on the cultural heritage study and in the future construction. This project will provide a mix of land uses including up to 3,000 homes, employment lands, community and tourism facilities, education facilities, open space and conservation lands. Landcom opened a project office to manage this project in January. •• At the Royal Newcastle Hospital site, the Sebel Hotel was opened in November. This enhanced public access at this striking beachfront location, delivering on the public domain masterplan that Landcom prepared some years ago. Completed projects This year Landcom also reached significant end-milestones on a number of projects: •• We wound up our involvement at Greenway Views in the southwest and Newbury in the northwest. Both of these projects extended over more than 10 years and they were among the first in which Landcom took an active role in the delivery of built form, applying best practice urban design principles. They were also among the first projects on which we partnered with the private sector – with Australand at Greenway Views and Mirvac at Newbury. Through these projects we introduced our partners to Landcom’s Welcome Program initiative, which they have since adopted for their own projects. •• At Shellharbour, we sold the final lot in the town centre. The Shellharbour masterplan integrated a ‘main street’ style retail and entertainment precinct with an existing commercial centre to service a sub-regional population of over 100,000 people. In many ways, the model was the precursor to the Rouse Hill Town Centre. • • The Waterford project at Punchbowl was completed and we concluded the partnership with our development partner, A V Jennings, in July. 20 landcom annual report 2011 NEWBURY
Partnering with others Solving problems Development project partnerships We believe strongly in collaborating with others to achieve better outcomes for our projects. This year we entered into agreements to work with a number of agencies. Examples are outlined below. •• Along with our Oran Park development partner (Greenfields Development Company), we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of Western Sydney in February to explore development and educational opportunities for Oran Park Town including: –– a medical and health precinct –– information technology and communications infrastructure –– an ‘education town’ engagement model. •• We entered into agreements with Defense Housing Australia, Mission Australia and St George Community Housing, to work together on a number of potential projects and explore future joint opportunities. As well as the above, Landcom was appointed by Ageing, Disability and Home Care (ADHC) during the year to deliver 50% of its ‘Stronger Together 2’ program. This will involve 150 projects over the next five years, mostly in the Sydney metropolitan area. Research and development As well as partnering on development projects, we also collaborated with others to progress development of sustainability planning tools and new research. •• With a $52,000 sponsorship from the former Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW), we enhanced the energy module of Landcom’s PRECINX ® sustainability assessment tool. This work was co-managed by Landcom and DECCW. We made PRECINX ® available to our government land organisation colleagues in other states. •• We commenced a partnership with the University of New South Wales, the National Heart Foundation and NSW Health on an Australian Research Council Linkage Project. This three-year research collaboration will explore the relationship between urban planning and health using four Landcom projects as case studies. Improving supply, diversity and technology One of the things that distinguishes Landcom is our problem solving capacity. Landcom unlocks complex land planning and development problems that are of significance to the development of the state. For example: •• A major change in the direction of the organisation occurred in April when the Premier asked Landcom to increase its production to 10,000 home sites over the next four years. This is a 25% increase on our previous targets. •• This year Landcom continued to provide development, project and construction management services to HNSW for the commonwealth’s Nation Building Program. Our involvement in this program, which had a combined value of $350 million, has delivered affordable housing for 1,100 families. •• Working in close co-operation with the National Broadband Network Company (NBN Co), in February Landcom was granted approval for the provision of optical fibre in the current stages of The Ponds, Bunya, Renwick and Talana. We signed the first national developer agreements with NBN Co in March. These are the first agreements with NBN Co in Australia and will result in significant savings in the way we provide this technology to our customers. • • This year we commenced work on our 21 st Century Terrace project. Sydney’s housing needs are changing, driven by factors such as smaller family sizes, increases in the cost of living and affordability issues. However, the industry has been slow to respond to the need for different types of new housing. Landcom is leading the way with development of a terrace model that can be ‘mainstreamed’ and, importantly, delivered by the project home industry. The first demonstration of the model will be at our North Penrith project, and a toolkit will be developed to assist the industry to implement this housing type in its projects.
