Tolland

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) has approved the proposed masterplan for the revival of Tolland, with the proposal to rezone Tolland currently being assessed by the Department of Planning, Housing and Industry (DPHI).

To review Council’s adoption of the Masterplan head to Wagga Wagga City Council’s website.

Whilst the rezoning assessment is being finalised by DPHI, Homes NSW is preparing for future site works by clearing vacant properties in the first stages of the project within the estate.

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.

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?

A determination on the rezoning is expected in mid-late 2024 and Homes NSW will keep the community updated as the assessment continues.  You can view the rezoning proposal and associated documents on the NSW Planning Portal.

As part of Council’s resolution to adopt the Masterplan, the proposed Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA) is currently on public exhibition. Submissions are invited until 12 July 2024.
