A ground-breaking ceremony held today marks the start of construction on City West Housing’s Tallowwood Apartments site and was attended by the NSW Minister for Housing, Homelessness, Mental Health, Youth and the North Coast the Hon. Rose Jackson, Bayside Deputy Mayor Councillor Joe Awada, newly appointed builders Versatile Construction and other dignitaries.
City West Housing is expanding its geographic reach beyond the City of Sydney to develop much-needed build-to-rent affordable housing in Rockdale.
The Tallowwood Apartments on Princes Highway, Rockdale, in the Bayside Local Government Area (LGA), will provide rental homes for 80 low-to-moderate income households, including people working locally, on completion in 2026.
It will be the first time City West Housing has developed outside the City of Sydney, where it owns and manages 20 apartment buildings housing more than 1,600 residents on subsidised rents. Tallowwood residents will pay no more than 30% of their household income in rent and rents will be capped at 74.9 per cent of market rent.
