Camden City set for two residential developments
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.
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.
Plans have been laid for a four-building development at 313 Bringelly Road.
The Salvo Group, who are a Melbourne-based property group, engaged CM+ to design the three, four-level mixed-use buildings.
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.
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.
It will also create a high amenity living precinct, close to public infrastructure, such as 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
