Project overview
Forbes NSW 2871
Homes NSW is continuing to progress planning for the Forbes housing development, with early land preparation and subdivision work forming part of the NSW Government’s $70 million Regional Communities TCorp facility, which is specifically designed to unlock housing supply through essential civil works and land development.
Significant groundwork has already been undertaken in partnership with Forbes Shire Council to advance subdivision planning and reduce delivery costs, including refinements to the site layout to improve feasibility and market appeal.
Homes NSW remains committed to delivering social housing in Forbes. Concept design work is progressing for the first 11 homes which will be located on the Dawson Street end of the site, with construction expected to commence in 2028.
As with many regional developments, this project involves complex land and planning considerations, including coordination across multiple stakeholders and land authorities. These factors have contributed to the need to revisit aspects of the original proposal to ensure the project delivers the best value for the community and Homes NSW.
