The new Build to Rent project on the South Coast will start construction in the coming months to deliver much needed housing supply and security for the region's renters.

The NSW Government developer Landcom has signed with regionally based Zauner Construction Pty Ltd to deliver the construction of 60 new homes in Bomaderry.

This development will deliver approximately 60 apartments, with at least 20% designated as affordable rental housing.

The building will demonstrate best practice sustainable design to maximise energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and provide a healthy environment for residents with fresh air and natural light. 

There will be a mix of apartment sizes to suit the needs, lifestyles and budgets of the local community.  Future residents will be close to Bomaderry railway station and have easy access to shops, open space and other amenities.

Construction will take around 18 months with new residents expected to move in by late 2026.

This week the NSW Government announced Landcom's plans to transform the former WestConnex dive site at Camperdown into 500 new apartments including 200 Build to Rent apartments with discounted rents for essential workers like nurses, paramedics, teachers, police officers and firefighters.

Landcom is also leading the development of 50 new apartments in the NSW Northern Rivers as part of its Build to Rent Program in regional NSW.
