Liverpool’s affordable housing stock is set for a major boost with plans to transform paddocks into a thriving, multimillion-dollar residential hub in Edmondson Park.

Dalma Holdings Pty Ltd has lodged plans with Liverpool Council, proposing to build 148 apartments across two eight-storey towers, at 200 Croatia Ave.

The $40.5m plans include one, two and three-bedroom apartments alongside communal barbecue areas, which would be constructed 500m from the Edmondson Park train station and town centre.

Planners have described the proposal as a “means of providing high quality residential accommodation for people of all ages and family structure” saying it would have a “significant proportion” dedicated to affordable housing.

The plans would see a single house on the 6275 sqm site demolished.

“This proposal will ensure the efficient and sustainable use of land through the provision of housing and construction of a key part of the street network,” planners said.

“This development will result in the provision of residential product that is both viable and needed in the locality within walking distance of the Edmondson Park Town Centre”.

The Edmondson Park Town Centre – also known as Ed Square – was developed in 2020 next to the train station with a vision to an inner-city lifestyle in Sydney’s southwest.

The centre is anchored by multiple residential towers that sit atop a dining precinct known as Eat Street and a string of commercial retailers including Coles and Event cinemas.

The plans for Croatia Ave are back before the council after a previous proposal for two six-storey buildings and 120 apartments was withdrawn after it raised concerns over traffic flow.

The current development has raised the height of the towers in accordance with the state government’s planning agreement, which aims to address the state’s housing shortage.

Under the scheme, developers are awarded a bonus of up to 30 per cent on height and floor space ratios if their plans designate at least 10 to 15 per cent of building space to affordable housing.
