Ambitious plan to boost housing and conservation

The Department of Planning and Environment has announced that it will undertake the assessment of our proposed Gilead masterplanned community project given the critical housing and environmental benefits it seeks to deliver, read more.

The Gilead proposal will supply 3,300 new homes for south-west Sydney, to keep housing attainable for families and first home buyers in the Campbelltown area while securing nearly half of the land for environmental conservation to contribute to the establishment crucial koala corridors.

Lendlease has been delivering projects in Western Sydney for almost 60 years. The Gilead proposal will be interconnected with Lendlease’s Figtree Hill community which is currently under construction and will deliver 1,700 homes, and much needed safety upgrades to Appin Road and underpasses for local wildlife, once approved by Transport for NSW.

Lendlease has welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with the NSW Department of Planning Industry and Environment (DPIE) through a technical assurance panel (TAP) pilot program to prepare the Gilead proposal and supporting technical reports.  

Through this process Lendlease has ensured that the project implements all the recommendations of the NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer report on the protection of the Campbelltown koala population and the Government Architect’s Connecting with Country Framework. 

The future master planned community will not only include extensive conservation areas, open space and parklands but deliver much needed community and education facilities, new roads, and a local village centre.
