Two brothers turned a dairy farm and a closed racing circuit into a suburb of more than 20,000 people. Houses on one street have sold for $2.35 million. Oran Park development now carries a $680 million construction pipeline across four years.
That figure comes from the developer.
Yet the largest retail approval in the town centre has sat unbuilt since December 2021. This article lists every live project, its exact address, and where each one actually stands.

Oran Park Development 2026 — The Pipeline
The Perich family’s Greenfields Development Company partnered with state developer Landcom in 2003. Together they took on a 380-hectare site in the Camden growth area.
Half of that land was the old Oran Park Raceway, which closed in 2010. The other half was dairy farmland. The state rezoned the site in 2007.
The masterplan set a target of 10,000 homes for roughly 35,000 residents. Camden Council has since processed 60 separate development applications for this one suburb.
Seven projects now define the next phase. Two are under construction. Three hold approvals but have not started. One sits refused. One has only been lodged.
Where the Oran Park Projects Sit
Central Avenue and Podium Way form the spine of the town centre. The Podium shopping centre anchors the western side. The library, council chambers and Leisure Centre sit east of Central Avenue.
Pondicherry lies about 1.5 kilometres directly north. The industrial estate sits west, along The Northern Road. The refused pub site sits inside that industrial pocket.
PROJECT 1 — Pondicherry: 242 Hectares Between The Northern Road and Bringelly
STATUS: BULK EARTHWORKS UNDER WAY SINCE LATE 2025
Pondicherry extends the town centre north from 430 Oran Park Drive. The site covers 242 hectares between The Northern Road and Bringelly.
Greenfields started the rezoning in 2015. The process ran ten years. The state approved it in 2025.
Contractors began bulk earthworks on the first stage, Tranche 42, in late 2025. Civil works followed in early 2026.
At full build-out the precinct adds between 2,200 and 4,200 homes for close to 8,800 people. The plan wraps them around a new 10-hectare lake and 9.2 hectares of district sports fields.
It also sets aside a K-6 public school, a K-12 private school and a neighbourhood shopping centre. A Voluntary Planning Agreement with Camden Council covers the lake, parks, shared paths and roads.
That agreement carries a value of around $205 million.
Nothing in Pondicherry is on the market yet. The land is graded earth and new road corridors.
PROJECT 2 — $84.4 Million at 79 Central Avenue, Approved December 2021
STATUS: APPROVED 23 DECEMBER 2021 — DA/2021/1076/1 — NOT BUILT
Stage 3A of the Podium sits at 79 Central Avenue. Greenfields Development Company No.2 lodged the application on 3 June 2021.
The Sydney Western City Planning Panel approved it on 23 December 2021 under DA/2021/1076/1. The panel recorded a capital investment value of $84,433,326.
The consent covers an extension of the retail complex and the existing basement car park. It also covers the eastern portion of Podium Way.
The application describes the balance of the site as an existing temporary at-grade car park. Four years and eight months later, that car park is still what stands there.
Stage 2 finished before it. That expansion delivered 16,700 square metres of retail, a second supermarket and more than 60 stores.
Approval and delivery are separate events. Stage 3A is the clearest example in the suburb.
PROJECT 3 — $81.6 Million and 177 Apartments at 88 Podium Way
STATUS: UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Two residential towers are rising at 88 Podium Way, about 550 metres west of the Podium. One building holds 66 apartments. The other holds 111.
The pair carries a construction value of $81.6 million. Together they add 177 apartments to a suburb built almost entirely on detached houses.
The site sits a five-minute walk from the shopping centre, the high school and the bus interchange. That walkability explains the density.
PROJECT 4 — 196 Apartments for Over-55s at 1 Civic Way
STATUS: APPROVED — CONSTRUCTION NOT STARTED
Tulich Family Communities holds approval for a retirement village at 1 Civic Way. The block sits on the corner of Civic Way and Holstein Street, directly behind the Leisure Centre.
Council material records 196 apartments. Industry coverage reports 210. Both figures describe two buildings for residents aged 55 and over, with rooftop terraces and ground-floor retail.
All approvals sit in place. The operator expects a three-year build, with the first stage ready for move-in roughly 12 to 18 months after work begins.
Street-level imagery still shows an empty grassed block. Work has not started.
PROJECT 5 — $93 Million and 22,000 Square Metres at 90 Podium Way
STATUS: UNDER ASSESSMENT — NOT APPROVED
Greenfields has filed for two more six-storey commercial buildings beside TRN House at 90 Podium Way. The application carries a value of $93 million.
The two buildings would add 22,000 square metres of office space. That roughly doubles the town centre’s commercial floor area.
TRN House already operates next door. It houses medical imaging, physiotherapy and real estate tenancies. Reviewers there describe a building that is not yet fully occupied.
The application remains in assessment. No consent authority has determined it. Liverpool shows how long that stage can run.
PROJECT 6 — Roomia Self-Storage Under Construction at 35 Southwell Road
STATUS: UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Roomia is building a multi-storey self-storage facility at 35 Southwell Road in the Oran Park Industrial Estate. The site fronts The Northern Road.
Street-level imagery shows scaffolding, a partly clad steel frame and site fencing. This is the one project in the employment lands that has visibly started.
A separate bulky-goods development holds DA approval at the corner of Peter Brock Drive and Oran Park Drive. Officeworks, Supercheap Auto and Petbarn sit on the tenancy list.
That one has not started either. The same pattern appears in the Northern Gateway precinct.
PROJECT 7 — The Tavern Refused at 600C The Northern Road
STATUS: REFUSED SEPTEMBER 2022 — NO PUBLISHED OUTCOME
Not every application clears. A single-storey pub called the Oran Park Tavern was proposed at 600C The Northern Road.
Camden’s Local Planning Panel refused it in September 2022. The applicant appealed to the Land and Environment Court.
Public planning records show no new application for that site. They show no published court outcome either.
Satellite imagery shows the result. Kerbs, footpaths and a roundabout ring the block. The lot inside them remains bare earth.
One point matters here. This is a different site and a different project from the Oran Park Hotel at 81 Central Avenue. That three-storey hotel won approval and opened in stages from early 2025.
Who Owns the Land Behind Oran Park Development
One family sits behind most of this. The Perich brothers built their wealth in dairy, then in land.
Their company, Greenfields Development Company, holds the developer role across the town centre, the flagship estate and Pondicherry. Landcom carried the state’s share of the original partnership.
That concentration explains the pace. A single owner can stage releases, hold stock and time approvals against demand.
It also explains the gaps. Stage 3A holds consent and waits. So does the bulky-goods centre. A developer that owns the land carries no pressure to build on anyone else’s schedule.
The Infrastructure Behind the Oran Park Development Pipeline
Transport for NSW is adding nine new bus stops across the suburb. A rapid bus service will run to Western Sydney International Airport once it opens.
Rail is the bigger question. The Sydney Metro line from St Marys to Bradfield has been under construction since December 2022. It runs 23 kilometres and carries six stations.
Oran Park is not one of them. An extension south to Macarthur would place a station on Oran Park Drive, opposite the Podium.
Transport for NSW has flagged that extension. It sits at the planning and business-case stage. No construction date exists, and no funding commitment has followed.
What Oran Park Development Costs Today
The expensive end sits south-west of the town centre, in the precinct that fronts the lake. Sale records on Webber Loop reach $2.35 million.
That sale settled in August 2023. Two neighbouring houses on the same street changed hands the same year for $2.02 million and $1.9 million.
The premium here rests on amenity that already exists. The lake, the parks and the shops sit within a five to ten minute walk.
Across the suburb the median house price sat between $1.19 million and $1.22 million in mid-2026, depending on the data source.
Suburb data put annual growth between 10 and 15 per cent. Our Sydney price analysis sets that against the wider market.
New supply spreads across a wide band. Vacant land starts around $617,500 and runs to $1.15 million.
House-and-land packages start near $945,000 for a townhouse. Larger detached homes reach $1.6 million.
Estates selling now include Ascot Grove at 100 Seaborn Avenue, roughly 2.5 kilometres south-east of the town centre. Catherine Park runs its sales office at 18 Myer Way.
What the Oran Park Development Record Does Not Confirm
Three projects appear in coverage without a decision behind them. Each one deserves a caveat.
Greenfields has lodged a development application for Oran Park Film Studios. The proposal covers three sound stages, production offices and workshops in the employment lands. The company is discussing funding with Creative NSW. No approval exists.
Greenfields has also pitched a site on Dick Johnson Drive to national broadcaster SBS. The offer covers a 15,000 square metre headquarters. No party has announced a signed agreement.
The Macarthur metro extension carries the same status. Transport for NSW has flagged it and nothing more.
One item in this group is confirmed. The University of Notre Dame launches its first undergraduate degree, a primary teaching qualification, from the Oran Park Study Centre at 90 Podium Way in 2026.
Count the approvals across those four items and the total reads one.

Summary — What Oran Park Development Means in 2026
Oran Park works as a case study in the gap between consent and concrete. Seven projects carry seven different states.
Two are physically rising. Three hold approvals and wait. One sits in assessment. One was refused four years ago and has produced nothing since.
The $680 million pipeline figure comes from the developer. The $84.4 million approval that has not moved since 2021 comes from the planning panel’s own record.
Buyers weighing entry can read our buy-now-or-wait analysis alongside them. Both numbers are true. Reading them together gives a fairer picture than either one alone.
The Greater Sydney Western City District Plan projects roughly 464,000 more people in this district by 2036. It counts about 184,500 additional homes to house them.
Nearby corridors such as Leppington and Edmondson Park carry the rest. Oran Park and its neighbours carry a core share of that supply.
Pondicherry alone stretches the build-out closer to a decade. The metro extension remains the swing factor for the whole precinct.
Oran Park Development — Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Bulk earthworks began on the 242-hectare Pondicherry extension in late 2025, and two residential towers are under construction at 88 Podium Way. Several other approvals have not yet started on site.
Pondicherry is a 242-hectare extension about 1.5 kilometres north of the existing town centre, between The Northern Road and Bringelly. The state approved it in 2025 after a ten-year rezoning, and it will add between 2,200 and 4,200 homes.
The median house price sat between $1.19 million and $1.22 million in mid-2026. Vacant land starts around $617,500, while the highest recorded sale on Webber Loop reached $2.35 million in 2023.
Not yet. A station has been proposed on Oran Park Drive opposite the Podium as part of a metro extension to Macarthur. That extension sits at the planning and business-case stage, with no construction date and no funding commitment.
