Welcome to Bulli
Transforming and diversifying housing in Wollongong
Updated: November 2024
Planning and construction
To prepare the site for future homes, we have demolished 11 of the former hospital buildings and progressed with ground remediation. Works wound down in late 2024.
Subject to approvals, the two smaller buildings near Hospital Road will be demolished and ground remediation completed as part of the next stage of works.
Proposed development
In November 2023 we lodged a development application (DA-2023/895) with Wollongong City Council to create lots for 50 future homes. Council publicly exhibited the application from 22 November to 6 December 2023.
Pending approvals, works to redevelop the site are expected to start in 2025, with lot sales starting in 2026.

The project
Landcom is transforming the former Bulli Hospital site with new open space and a mix of housing that diversifies and increases local housing options.
Featuring homes designed to blend with the character of the area, including terraces, duplexes, manor homes and freestanding houses, the project will help to provide greater choice, affordability and housing security for a range of new residents.
Located close to Bulli railway station and providing easy access to local schools, shops and community facilities, the Bulli project will suit a variety of households and incomes. Ten percent of homes will be affordable rental housing for people on lower to moderate incomes, like key workers.

Design & sustainability
The Bulli project reflects best practice principles for energy, water and waste management, celebrates and responds to the site’s landscape and topography, and recognises its history through landscape and urban design. Key features include:
- a mix of freestanding homes, manor homes, semi-detached homes, terraces and above-garage studios, providing greater choice for different households' lifestyles, needs and budgets. Future homes will blend with the character and scale of the surrounding neighbourhood
- a new hilltop park on the western edge of the site, with features which could include play equipment, picnic facilities and a viewing area towards the coast
- through-site pedestrian links that make it easier to walk about the area
- a new internal loop street off Hospital Road and a connecting laneway, with the majority of homes accessible from the new internal street which will have landscaped verges and on-street parking
- information displays, interpretive signage and reuse of materials from the former hospital buildings to honour the site’s history, including reinterpretation of the historic entrance gates to form a new entry feature wall and old bricks integrated in boundary and retaining walls
- water management integrated in the landscape, with extensive planting of native trees, shrubs and grasses to complement retained vegetation.
