Sustainable places, built to last

For more than 50 years Landcom has been making sustainable communities happen across NSW. We plan, design and deliver places that are made to last for generations to come - places that are well designed, resilient and ready for what’s next.

As sustainability standards and expectations continue to evolve across the industry, we’re raising the bar on sustainability and urban design to deliver high-quality homes and neighbourhoods that support people, protect the environment and stand the test of time. 

As we step into the next chapter, we’re focused on strengthening our Sustainability Strategy and targets as we fully integrate our Net Zero Transition Plan - elevating nature, embedding community resilience and quality urban design into everything we do.

Sustainable Places Strategy

Climate Resilient Places

We design and deliver communities that are ready to meet the challenges of a changing climate. From the way our neighborhoods are planned to how homes and infrastructure are built, we focus on resilience from day one, balancing the needs of people, place and the natural environment. It’s how we support communities today and protect the needs of future generations.

At Landcom, smart design and careful planning helps us manage the impacts of a changing climate. We design our communities to conserve water, use resources more efficiently, reduce carbon emissions and protect the natural environments our communities rely on. By embedding climate resilience into our planning and delivery, we’re creating places that support people today and remain strong, liveable and sustainable into the future.
