We’re transforming Tolland into a modern mix of new social, affordable, seniors and private housing, along with upgraded community facilities, roads and green spaces.
What’s happened so far?
Wagga Wagga City Council (WWCC) and the Department of Planning, Housing and Industry (DPHI) have approved the masterplan and rezoning of the Tolland estate.
To review Council’s adoption of the Masterplan head to Wagga Wagga City Council’s website.

What we’ve heard
Since the inception of the project, the Tolland project team have facilitated a range of community engagement activities to collect feedback and inform future decisions about Tolland.
Read more about our community engagement approach in Tolland.
Key themes from our conversations have included:
- The desire for high quality public open space and environment
- Concerns around traffic generation and safety and the need for better public transport services
- Questions around the future housing mix and density concentration
- Desire for improved community safety in public spaces and the area
- Infrastructure needs for an increased number of residents.
All these things, and more, have been considered in the plans to transform Tolland.
What happens next?
Demolitions will continue at Tolland in stages as tenants are relocated.
The Stage 1 subdivision proposal is being investigated with a decision expected in mid-late 2025. If the subdivision is approved, site works will commence.
Further subdivision approvals will be lodged throughout 2025 and 2026, and site works will continue.
We anticipate the first residents of the renewed Tolland estate will move into homes in 2027. All tenants have the right to return to Tolland once redevelopment works are completed.
