Western Sydney 3000-home estate Masterplan

Planning Clare Burnett 14 FEB 23 The Urban Developer

Property developer and construction group Traders in Purple is poised to start work on the latest stage of a $855-million, 3000-home masterplan after getting the nod for the project from the NSW government.

Landcom had previously done much of the work on the Bonnyrigg Estate, but the NSW Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) put the latest part of the project out to tender.

Traders in Purple will deliver Stages 8 to 11 of the Bonnyrigg Renewal, dubbed the Humphries Precinct. Bonnyrigg is 36kmwest of the Sydney CBD.

“The idea behind the renewal is that there was a social housing estate on the site which was at the end of its life in terms of habitability,” Traders in Purple director and co-owner Charlie Daoud said.

“The maintenance costs were far too high and because they were built so long ago they were no longer fit for purpose, especially for those aging in place and those with mobility issues.?

“There were lots of fibro homes, standard three-bed, one-bath on large parcels of land, so the government back then decided they would do a major renewal, going from about 833 homes to 3000 homes in the estate.”?
