Project overview
Planning approval
Homes NSW’s priority is to deliver more social housing to make sure more people have access to a home.
A development has recently been approved for the properties at 6-10 Southview Street, Bulli. The approval is for demolition of the existing 3 dwellings and construction of a new 2 and 3-storey residential housing development consisting of:
- 13 homes in total – 6 x 1-bedroom units and 7 x 2-bedroom units
- 12 on-site car parking spaces and 2 internal lifts
- landscaping and fencing across the site.
In December 2025, we exhibited the detailed plans to the community and invited formal submissions of feedback. The approved development follows consideration of feedback received during consultation with Wollongong City Council and the local community.
The determination report and supporting planning documents, including feedback received during community consultation and our responses, can be found on the NSW Planning Portal.
Construction is expected to begin towards the end of the year.
How this project meets planning controls
The Southview Street site has been carefully selected based on rigorous planning criteria, including its compliance with existing R2 zoning provisions, and suitability for Residential Flat Buildings under the Wollongong Local Government Area planning framework.
The proposal fully complies with the Housing State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021 (Housing SEPP) and reflects a considered approach to meeting the areas community housing needs.
As a relevant authority under Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, Homes NSW holds the necessary approval powers for residential development.
Importantly, because the proposed development is permissible on the site and remains within the 11-metre height limit prescribed by the Housing SEPP, it can proceed without requiring separate Council consent, while maintaining full compliance with all relevant planning standards.
