Design excellence finally being applied to multigenerational public housing
LOS ANGELES: Design excellence finally being applied to multigenerational housing communities living above rapid transport hubs.
A post-war public housing estate in Sydney’s south-west will make way for a $110-million Homes NSW project under Belmore’s transport-linked housing controls.
Planning and public spaces minister Paul Scully approved the State Significant Development application for 270-278 Burwood Road and 54 Lakemba Street, about 350m from Belmore Station, an existing rail stop being converted for metro services, about 23km south-west of the Sydney CBD.
NSW Land and Housing Corporation, operating as Homes NSW, will replace the ageing walk-up estate with 145 affordable apartments across two eight-storey buildings above two basement levels.
