LOCAL developer CDMA Australia received development application approval to build 911 apartments across nine towers directly opposite the Tallawong metro station in Sydney’s growing north west.
The accelerated approval process took 11 months – fast-tracked by six to nine months – and follows CDMA coordinating with the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment and the local Blacktown City Council.
CDMA Australia development manager, Alex Guan said that the engagement of their planner, Urbis together with architect Kann Finch Redstone and multi-discipline consultants were key in getting their development application approved.
The building form approval sets a new precedent for heights in the area followed by previous approval of a planning proposal, with the height limit increasing from 16 to 26 metres.
CDMA’s second project in the area, 34-42 Tallawong Road will be delivered opposite the Metro station and future town centre, and new Town Centre, which will house two major supermarkets including a Woolworths as well as other specialty retailers, and include a green spine and provide a publicly accessible plaza of 2,200 sqm.
A new public piazza will comprise on open paved piazza fronting the street and internal green lawns and a children’s playground area will also be provided. The green spine will include a sprawling village green lawn and communal facilities will run through the middle of the development, surrounded by a running track.
Guan said the development seeks to create an attractive landscape setting that reflects the surrounding natural bushland character of the Rouse Hill area, while providing a diverse range of outdoor passive and active communal spaces for the residential population.
CDMA said it has seen strong demand for its current residential development, Rosella Place located at 56 Cudgegong Road in Rouse Hill, with only a limited number of apartments remaining for sale.
Named after the vibrantly coloured bird that is native to the Rouse Hill area, Rosella Place offers 357 apartments set across five mid-rise buildings located within a 100 metres walk to the Tallawong metro station.
Since entering the Australian marketplace in 2017, CDMA’s development pipeline has grown gradually with three projects either underway or in planning. The third project consists of a large-scale master-planned community in Leppington Town Centre that it will work on in coming years.
