Riverwood Estate renewal

Following extensive community consultation, the NSW Government has scaled back the proposed redevelopment of the Riverwood housing estate in south-west Sydney. This decision aims to provide better outcomes for social housing residents and a better alignment with community expectations.

The new proposal will deliver 420 homes, including 50% social and affordable housing, and will be delivered with minimal impact on existing infrastructure.

Homes NSW will soon start the Development Application (DA) process and will look to potentially engage a development partner who can progress the DA and assist with the delivery of new homes.

There will be future community consultation opportunities as part of the Development Application processes.

If the DA is approved it will include the realignment of Virginia Place, undergrounding of overhead power lines and the potential for new retail premises. A new childcare centre will replace the existing one, located close to the original site.

If you have any questions, please contact the Community Engagement team on 1800 738 718 (voicemail) or email communityengagement@homes.nsw.gov.au.

The Riverwood estate renewal is a long-term project which will be delivered in stages over the next 15 to 20 years. This timeline outlines what has happened so far, what is happening now, and when we expect the project to be delivered.

We are committed to providing the community with regular updates throughout this time.
