Spotlight on: Landcom Macarthur Gardens North

Housing Australia is supporting Landcom to deliver early-stage, housing-enabling infrastructure at Macarthur Gardens North in Campbelltown (NSW). The works will unlock an 18.52 hectare site for a future mixed-tenure community of approximately 1,250 high-rise homes, including around 144 affordable dwellings, close to Macarthur railway station, retail and local services.

In June 2023, Housing Australia approved a $14.15 million Housing Australia Critical Infrastructure package, comprising an $11.32 million concessional loan, a $2.83 million grant and an interest cap of $1.2 million.

Progress was temporarily delayed pending the principal contractor's accreditation by the Office of the Federal Safety Commissioner (OFSC), a prerequisite for accessing Critical Infrastructure funding. Landcom sustained momentum on site by funding works until accreditation was achieved in September 2024.

The project reached contractual close on 20 December 2024 and financial close on 14 March 2025, enabling draw-down of funding and continuation of early infrastructure works.
