Apartment Tower Planned for Underdeveloped Glenfield

Glenfield tower EDM

Plans for an apartment tower atop a three-storey childcare and medical centre have been put forward for Glenfiled in the south-west of Sydney.

Glenfield Holdings has applied to the Campbelltown Council to develop the site at 2 Hoskings Crescent, about 43km south-west of the CBD. 

It is within the Glenfield East Precinct, an area identified for urban renewal and intensification of land uses, which has experienced little in the way of development.

The subject site currently has a single home and detached garage on it.  Opposite is a small shopping strip and the Glenfield Train Station is 80m away.

The area is zoned mixed-use, with a small portion of high-density residential.

The project would deliver 35 apartments of one and two bedrooms, 1347sq m of non-residential floor space—ground-level shops, a medical centre and an 88-place childcare facility. 

Six units would be adaptable and seven affordable units would occupy levels four and five as the DA is seeking to apply the infill affordable housing provisions after the Housing SEPP amendments introduced last year, which allows greater height and floor space ratio.

▲ Design Link Australia has designed the tower project at Glenfield.

The affordable component represents 663sq m GFA, which exceeds the 525sq m requirement, and will provide a “significant public benefit for the local community”.

The childcare facility on levels two and three, for children up to five years, would have five indoor play rooms, a nursery, and administrative areas, with two outdoor play areas over two levels.

According to the development application the proposal “will contribute towards ensuring the Glenfield centre is a healthy, sustainable and resilient community with a vibrant mix of uses to serve the needs of future anticipated community”. 

The proposal will also “align with the principles of urban revitalisation which seek to deliver a genuine 30-minute city where people live, work, educate, recreate all within 30 minutes of [a] strategic or major centre,” it said.

Glenfield and the wider Campbelltown area has been tipped for further development and major developers have been circling, with state-owned Landcom planning 3900 homes in the Glenfield Precinct and a consortium of landowners also planning a 1200-apartment precinct in nearby suburb of Leumeah.
