Landcom has evolved from landowner and developer to problem solver of strategic and complex projects.
 

Oran Park
This project is enabling us to set the benchmark for sustainable development for Sydney’s southwest growth centre. The project incorporates diversity of housing, dwelling density, good urban design and the delivery of both a town centre and infrastructure for subsequent development that will follow. The year was a busy one for Landcom at Oran Park, with our main focus being on integrated planning for the upfront or early delivery of facilities, since this is the key ingredient in building sustainable communities. During the year, we:

• Negotiated approval for a development control plan to guide the future development of the Oran Park town centre, which is based on a pedestrian-friendly main street model and allows for the integration of a range of social and environmentally sustainable design features;
• Entered into an agreement with AngliCare for the sale of a Seniors Living site, which provides an important opportunity for older residents to remain in the area by delivering a range of aged care facilities including 200 independent units as well as services for assisted living;
• Secured approval for the bulk earthworks to support the early development of the first school in Oran Park along with the Seniors Living site;
• Secured approval for a 43-lot display village, including a sales office which features space to accommodate a range of community uses and activities, all of which will be available when the first residents move in;
• Laid the foundation for universal access to electronic communications across the estate, which is a critical component in the future development of sustainable communities such as Oran Park.

During the year, we commenced laying the optical fibre that will eventually deliver telecommunications to all homes in the Estate at speeds of up to 1 gigabyte per second.

Park Central
Park Central is nearing completion and exemplifies sustainable development, featuring excellent urban planning, water sensitive urban design, a mix of commercial and private dwellings and the amenities and infrastructure that allow for the building of strong communities.

Greenway Park
Construction began in June on improvements to Lake Francis in this estate in West Hoxton in Sydney’s southwest. It will include an increase in the lake’s size, an extension of the existing cycle and path networks, larger habitat for local fauna and improved public access to the area.
