South West Sydney is moving fast — and Leppington is at the centre of it. The volume of Leppington development projects in 2026 is unlike anything else in the region. Here’s my full breakdown of every major project currently in the system.
In this post, we track every Leppington development projects 2026 update — covering DAs, approvals, and construction timelines for Western Sydney’s fastest-growing precinct. For source data, we draw on the NSW Planning Portal and official council records.
A $282 million shopping centre rejected by the courts. A 1,020-apartment project fast-tracked by the state government. A 28-storey tower being planned. And a rezoning that could allow up to 6,000 new homes within walking distance of Leppington Station.
This is everything happening in Leppington right now — project by project, with timelines and status on each one.
Leppington Development Projects 2026 — The Master Plan
The entire transformation of Leppington is built on one foundation: the Leppington Town Centre Rezoning. In December 2024, it became a State Assessed Rezoning Proposal. Consequently, the NSW Department of Planning — not Camden Council — took over responsibility for finalising it. The rezoning is expected to complete in Q1 2026.
The framework is built around a “density pyramid.” The closer you are to Leppington Train Station, the taller the buildings can go — up to 28 storeys right around the station.
Currently, parts of the town centre sit at a 24-metre height limit with no floor space ratio controls. However, under the new rezoning, that jumps to 50 metres with a 4.25:1 FSR.
Overall, the Leppington Town Centre precinct covers 409 hectares. By 2041, the vision is 10,500 new homes and 11,000 jobs — all centred on that train station.
PROJECT 1 — 1,020 Apartments at 297 Bringelly Road
STATUS: APPROVED (HDA Fast-Track)
Developer Amourched & Mourched has plans for 1,020 apartments across three buildings at 297 Bringelly Road. Furthermore, the project includes 5% affordable housing — alongside commercial space, a childcare centre, and health services at ground level.
The NSW Housing Delivery Authority accepted this scheme into its fast-track planning pathway. In other words, it bypassed the normal council assessment queue for a direct line to state-level determination.
PROJECT 2 — $340 Million, 12-Tower Scheme at 141–153 Byron Road
STATUS: REZONING UNDER ASSESSMENT
A massive $340 million rezoning application covers a 3.8-hectare site at 141–153 Byron Road. Aerotropolis Consultants filed it on behalf of the landowners.
The scheme proposes 12 mixed-use residential towers — ranging from 7 to 13 storeys — with 865 apartments in total. Therefore, the Sydney Western City Planning Panel is acting as the consent authority.
PROJECT 3 — 28-Storey Tower at 213 Bringelly Road
STATUS: DA BEING PREPARED
Additionally, one of the most visually striking proposals — a 28-storey tower at 213 Bringelly Road. The site covers 17,000 square metres within the town centre. However, the full vision is contingent on the Town Centre rezoning being finalised in Q1 2026.
PROJECT 4 — 900-Home Mixed-Use Precinct
STATUS: SCOPING REPORT FILED
Furthermore, a 900-home mixed-use precinct is working through the State Significant Development pathway. The scheme includes approximately 900 apartments, with 135 designated as affordable housing.
In addition, the precinct will feature a hotel, ground-floor retail, office space, and a childcare centre.
PROJECT 5 — $102 Million, 7-Building Precinct at 182 Byron Road
STATUS: DA FILED / UNDER ASSESSMENT
At 182 Byron Road, developer Byron Development Pty Ltd has lodged plans for 296 apartments across 7 buildings — each 7 storeys tall. The total investment is $102 million. The developer purchased the site for $15 million in 2021. Consequently, the Sydney Western City Planning Panel is now assessing the DA.
PROJECT 6 — Aland’s $282 Million Hotel & Shopping Centre
STATUS: REJECTED by Land & Environment Court
The NSW Land and Environment Court rejected Aland’s $282 million town centre proposal.
The scheme included a four-storey retail shopping centre with over 40,000 sqm of gross floor area. That covered supermarkets, specialty retailers, a cinema, dining, and entertainment. Furthermore, it included a 6-storey, 176-room hotel.
The court dismissed it for two reasons. First, the development needed a sewer line through 134 Dickson Road — a property Aland doesn’t own. Second, the court found the proposal “antipathetic” to Camden Council‘s broader vision.
However, Aland’s broader eight-tower residential vision — 461 affordable apartments — remains alive as a separate proposal.
INFRASTRUCTURE — The Foundation of Everything
Train: The federal government announced a business case for upgrading the T2 Leppington & Inner West Line. (ABC News) In addition, Transport for NSW completed the Kiss and Ride upgrade at Leppington Station in July 2025.
Roads: Meanwhile, Camden Council accepted its largest-ever detailed design tender for five major road upgrades across the Leppington area.
Sewerage: Sydney Water’s Austral and Leppington Wastewater Stage 3, Phase 2 is under construction. Furthermore, the Upper South Creek Advanced Water Recycling Centre is also underway.
Together, this infrastructure is the key that unlocks large-scale development.
SUMMARY
Overall, the rezoning framework finalises in Q1 2026. That milestone will trigger a wave of DAs already being prepared. In particular, the HDA-approved 1,020-apartment project at 297 Bringelly Road is the furthest along.
Personally, I think the rejection of Aland’s shopping centre is a real setback. Leppington desperately needs a major retail anchor.
However, with the rezoning finalising in 2026 and sewer infrastructure on the way, the outlook is strong. Therefore, the next few years will be very interesting for this precinct.
