The NSW Government’s ambitious Transport-Oriented Development (TOD) initiative has paved the way for a bold expansion of Landen Property Group’s Bella Vista newly-approved residential project.

Originally approved for 224 apartments in late November, the project will now capitalise on an uplift in Floor Space Ratio (FSR) from 1:1 to 1.9:1. This transformative change effectively doubles the project’s yield, creating potential for up to 500 homes in a vibrant and sustainably designed community.

The Bella Vista development is strategically located between both Bella Vista and Kellyville Metro Stations, making it a cornerstone of the TOD vision to deliver high-density, walkable neighbourhoods with exceptional connectivity to transport and employment hubs.

Key Highlights of the Enhanced Proposal:

• A Modern Residential Masterpiece: The expanded proposal will feature up to 500 apartments in a mix of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom layouts, complemented by a selection of terrace-style homes. These residences are designed with contemporary lifestyles in mind, offering spacious interiors, abundant natural light, and high-quality finishes.
• Exceptional Community Amenities: Residents will enjoy access to landscaped gardens, a resort-style pool, barbecue areas, children’s play zones, and shared spaces designed to foster connection and community spirit. The project will also incorporate a through-site pedestrian and cycleway link, enhancing connectivity within the precinct.
• Environmental Innovation: Sustainability sits at the heart of the development, with initiatives including rainwater harvesting, advanced energy-efficient designs, a significant increase in tree canopy coverage, and preservation of riparian zones. The project’s integration with its natural surroundings ensures minimal environmental impact while maximising resident enjoyment.

A Vital Infrastructure Contribution

Beyond delivering new homes, Landen Property Group’s plans include the construction of a key piece of infrastructure for the area: a new bridge and roundabout over Elizabeth Macarthur Creek.

These works, part of the project’s subdivision development phase, will create critical new road and pedestrian connections to Free Settlers Drive, opening up access to future developments and parklands in the precinct.

“The bridge and associated works are a game-changer for this community,” said Shane Harding Head of Property at Landen.

“This vital infrastructure not only supports the success of this development but also delivers long-term benefits for the wider area, facilitating growth and improving accessibility.”

The infrastructure project will be delivered in collaboration with the local Council, reflecting Landen’s commitment to contributing to the broader community through considered and future-focused design.

Fast-Tracked Approvals and Delivery

The TOD initiative’s expedited development pathways mean Landen plans to submit a revised Development Application (DA) very quickly.

A Vision of Vibrant Urban Living

The Bella Vista project showcases the potential of TOD initiatives to reimagine urban living. With its proximity to two Metro stations, extensive green spaces, and community-first design, the development will offer a lifestyle that blends convenience with liveability. Thoughtfully designed communal areas, including podium gardens and creekside walkways, will encourage social interaction and healthy, active living.

“The TOD announcement has unlocked enormous potential,” added Mr Harding, “We’re not just building homes; we’re creating a community where people will want to live, work, and connect. This project embodies the future of sustainable, integrated development.”
