Bellambi is a place of rich cultural heritage significance and Bellambi Point holds strong value in the cultural landscape. The area is home to many First Nations people who are deeply connected to Country in this area.
Homes NSW acknowledges the Dharawal Wodi Wodi peoples as the Traditional Custodians of Country, and the First Nations community who care for Country in this place.
Bellambi renewal
Homes NSW is reviewing its social housing portfolio across Wollongong.
The Bellambi estate has been identified as an area suitable for future housing renewal. Homes NSW has been working with the community since mid-2024 to understand what renewal may look like in the future.
Renewing Bellambi will allow us to build more new social, affordable and private homes that better meet the needs of community, while increasing local housing supply.
Through renewal, we can deliver more and better homes where they are needed most, and improve the infrastructure, facilities and services that will support the needs of the Bellambi community as it grows over time.
Community consultation
Homes NSW has been working closely with residents, stakeholders and the community since August 2024 to understand their needs and aspirations for the Bellambi renewal.
A People and Place Plan is currently being developed to help guide future stages of renewal.
The People and Place Plan will be shared with the community in mid-2025, as part of our next phase of consultation.
Important information for social housing residents
The proposed renewal of the Bellambi estate is a long-term project that will take many years to deliver, and we are only in the very early stages of planning.
At this point in time, social housing residents living in Bellambi are not being asked to move.
Homes NSW understands that with renewal comes the potential for change. We are committed to engaging with respect and sensitivity and keeping you informed as the project progresses.
Please contact us on the details below if you have any questions, or for more information on how we support communities through renewal.
