Planning
What's happening?
In response to the acute need for well-located housing, an Expression of Interest (EOI) was lodged with the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) for a housing-led proposal that aligns with the approved rezoning.
This EOI was accepted in September 2025, with the NSW Planning Minister declaring the redevelopment of the former WSU site in Milperra as ‘State Significant Development’ (SSD).
Next steps include lodging SSDA1a for civil works and the first 62 homes, followed by another SSDA1b for the balance of homes. Throughout these stages of lodgement, there will be regular updates and opportunities for engagement for the local community.
SSDA1a Early Works + Stage 1 - What's involved?
We are currently preparing the first State Significant Development Application relating to early works and Stage 1 homes which will be lodged with the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.
SSDA1a proposal comprises:
Staged civil works
• Bulk earthworks,
• Services and infrastructure,
• Roads and drainage,
• Shared cycle and pedestrian paths,
• Delivery of three public parks, amounting to more than 14,000sqm of open space, and associated play and gym equipment,
• Tree removal and replacement, with over 1,500 new trees planted,
• Dedication of roads and parks to Council,
• Subdivision of lots,
• Community title subdivision to allow conservation and maintenance of Cumberland Plain Woodlands.
Initial phase of homes
• 62 detached homes comprising a mix of 4- and 5-bedroom homes,
• Homes in SSDA1a located at the southern end of site as noted on the attached plan.
Once lodged, there will be a formal Public Exhibition period for community and stakeholder feedback on this SSDA1a.
