As a first mover development, the 5-acre site can set positive benchmarks for the precinct, fulfilling the objectives of the Aerotropolis vision, anticipating and stimulating surrounding development while providing robustness to change as it transitions over the coming decades.

The concept approval lodged with the NSW planning department seeks consent for mixed-use buildings in 4 x main blocks, consisting of 8 – 16 x storeys and podiums ranging from 3 – 4 storeys. A central mid-block connection is also proposed to facilitate connection to future adjacent developments from east-to-west. About 50,000 square metres of GFA is proposed, including a 2000 square metre supermarket store and circa 400 apartments.

The early-stage project is an opportunity to set a benchmark, particularly for the row of similarly scaled sites in the immediate vicinity. Roadway and pedestrian linkages, massing alignment and continuity of landscape spaces are attributes that should be considered across the precinct as a whole.
