The NSW Government has approved 63 new affordable apartments in Schofields

I’m pleased to share the following media release regarding an important milestone in north-west Sydney’s affordable housing landscape.

The NSW Government has approved 63 new affordable apartments in Schofields as part of its ongoing commitment to fast-tracking more accessible housing for our community.

This $38.5 million project on Burdekin Road will provide affordable, high-quality homes for key workers, including nurses, police officers, daycare workers, and cleaners. The six-storey complex has been thoughtfully designed to integrate seamlessly with the local area, offering ample sunlight and inviting outdoor spaces for residents.

The project will also support the local economy by creating 73 construction jobs and six ongoing roles. It was assessed under the NSW Government’s new planning pathway for Social and Affordable Housing, which aims to streamline approvals and accelerate delivery of much-needed homes.

Landcom led the master planning, and Community Housing Provider Link Wentworth will deliver the project. The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure has addressed key site considerations, including traffic, car parking, and social infrastructure needs.

Member for Riverstone, Warren Kirby, said:

“The NSW Government is delivering on its commitment to provide more homes by streamlining planning processes to unlock capacity and deliver more affordable housing. Schofields has a growing number of key workers, so I’m pleased to see the Government taking a leading role to provide high-quality, accessible, and affordable housing.”

Landcom CEO Alex Wendler added:

“Schofields will provide more opportunities for people on a range of incomes to access much-needed housing, well connected to transport, education, and open spaces.”
