Traders in Purple – the construction group contracted by Homes NSW to develop the Humphries Precinct – is progressing well with civil works, the construction of social homes and the sale of lots to the private market in stages 7B, and 8 to 11. Meanwhile, Homes NSW is progressing with planning for the next stages (12 and 13).

Apartment buildings will be constructed on these sites and, because they take a little longer to design and build, work on these homes is not expected to start until 2025 or 2026. 

As the demand increases for homes catering to smaller households and more housing choice, the proposed one- and two-bedroom apartments will respond to this need in both social housing and for private purchasers. SGCH will be working closely with residents currently living in stages 12 and 13 who will need to relocate when the planning phase is finalised.

The development application is currently before Fairfield City Council and a determination is expected in the first half of 2024.
