1 King Street (Concord Central)

Overview

Billbergia is planning a vibrant new mixed-use residential precinct at 1 King Street, Concord West, under the NSW Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) pathway.

The proposal builds on the plan endorsed by the City of Canada Bay in 2023 for mixed-use residential development. The updated proposal increases the number of homes, adds significant public open space, and provides local and state contributions towards affordable housing and infrastructure upgrades.

Early consultation was undertaken to support a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) that has now been lodged with the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) for public exhibition.

About the proposal

The proposed development includes:

• Approx 1,336 dwellings, with local retail and commercial floorspace with direct access to Concord West rail station. in 8 buildings ranging from 6 to 37 storeys.

• More than 5,000sqm of high-quality landscaping and open space, including a new 4,000 sqm park, dedicated cycle and pedestrian connections and new streets through the site.

Additional public infrastructure and benefits

• Local services including a childcare centre, and a retail and food precinct.

• This development will also deliver more than $100 million in funding to support State and local government infrastructure, made up of:

  • Affordable housing contributions

  • Housing and productivity contributions (funding for infrastructure to support local population growth)

  • Local Voluntary Planning Agreement (agreement for Billbergia to deliver local infrastructure)

  • Funding towards for major intersection upgrades including to George and Pomeroy St.
