Bonnyrigg Estate

What's happening

NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) has appointed Sydney-based developer Traders In Purple to deliver Stages 7b to 11 in the next phase of the Bonnyrigg Renewal.

Redevelopment works are set to commence in April 2023 to deliver 275 more homes including 65 new social homes for people in need.

A new community centre has recently been completed and will become the central focal point for all aspects of community life for local residents, with a large hall for social and cultural activities, meeting rooms, a kitchen and play areas for children.

To date, 690 new dwellings have been delivered in the earlier Stages 1-7a of Bonnyrigg, including 256 new social housing homes, alongside 7 hectares of new and improved parklands.

About the Bonnyrigg Renewal Project

The renewal project is completely transforming the former Bonnyrigg Housing estate that originally comprised of around 830 concentrated social housing properties and a small number of private dwellings.  There are 18 redevelopment stages proposed in total, to deliver around 3,000 new mixed tenure homes over the project’s lifecycle.

New homes will be targeted at a mix of 30% social housing and 70% private housing.

Medium-density, multi-unit buildings of up to 6 storeys will be located close to public transport, local services, parks, and cafes and outdoor dining.

Trees will be planted to reduce heat – 25% of the finished site will be naturally shaded. The development also includes 13.04 hectares of open space and more than 4 km of new pedestrian and cycle paths.
