Greater Sydney’s 2036 plan & property investment

Discover how the 3 Cities Plan will transform Sydney into a thriving, sustainable metropolis with three interconnected cities. Learn about the key initiatives, goals and impact on Sydney’s urban development, infrastructure and lifestyle.

The Greater Sydney Region Plan is for a metropolis of three cities to be developed by 2036:

1.   The Western Parkland City

2.   The Central River City

3.   The Eastern Harbour City

The Western Parkland City includes the local government areas of the Blue Mountains, Camden, Campbelltown, Fairfield, Hawkesbury, Liverpool, Penrith and Wollondilly.

The Central RiverCity includes Canterbury-Bankstown, Cumberland, Parramatta, Georges River, The Hills and Blacktown.

The Eastern Harbour City incorporates the CBD, Inner Western suburbs and Sydney Airport, stretching north to Hornsby and south to Sutherland.

The overarching goal of the Greater Sydney 3 cities plan is to create infrastructure and facilities that enable most Greater Sydney residents to live within 30 minutes of their places of employment /education and essential services that they need, such as health facilities.

The population of Greater Sydney is currently 4.7 million and it is forecast to increase by another 1.7 million people by 2036, and a further 3.2 million by 2056.

What the 3 Cities Plan means for property investors

The Greater Sydney 3 Cities Plan provides lucrative opportunities for property investors in strategic locations. Both the forecast population growth and billions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure projects are likely to stimulate long-term property demand from both property buyers and tenants. This is likely to drive the two key components of property return on investment: capital growth and rental yield.

Opportunities in the emerging Western Parkland City

As the newest of the three cities, Western Parkland City provides arguably the most lucrative property investment opportunities. There is forecast demand for an additional184,500 dwellings to be built by 2036 as its population grows rapidly to 1.5million.

Western Park land City is being established on the back of the new Western Sydney International Airport (due to open in 2026) and the surrounding “Aerotropolis” at Badgerys Creek. It is the focal point of significant industry development and associated employment opportunities in the area, including advanced manufacturing, technology, training and education, research, freight and logistics and agribusiness.

It is also the focus of significant transport infrastructure development, including the NorthSouth Rail Link from St Marys to the Western Sydney Airport and surrounding Aerotropolis, as well as a range of schools, hospitals and community facilities as its population grows.

And as Western Parkland name suggests, protecting the emerging city’s natural landscape and green space will be a key consideration as it develops.

The goal is to create infrastructure and facilities that enable residents to live within 30 minutes of their employment, education and services.

Wollondilly property investment

Wollondilly property investment makes sense for investors as it is one of the fastest growing areas of Western Parkland City. By 2032, its current population of just over 57,000 is forecast to grow by 72% by 2041 due to all the employment opportunities being created. This will require an estimated 750 dwellings to be built per year in the Wollondilly region over the next decade.

The area and its nearby locations already have education, health and public transport facilities, and an extra $1 billion dollars’ worth of road developments to connect the new Western Sydney Airport.

Dual-income homes enable you to maximise your rental yield and capital growth prospects because you can rent your property out to two separate tenants, yet you only have to pay one set of rates on the property. They are architecturally designed to maximise the private living space of separate occupants.

DPN’s property investment guarantee

DPN’s property investment guarantee for purchasers of new dual-income house and land packages in Tahmoor includes:

  • A market price guarantee.
  • Fixed build time ranging from 30 to 50 weeks depending on the features of the home.
  • A rental guarantee of 92% of your market rental appraisal if your property remains untenanted six weeks after handover.

In summary

The Greater Sydney Region Plan will develop infrastructure for three interconnected cities by 2036— The Western Parkland City, The Central River City and The Eastern Harbour City.

The Western Parkland City provides lucrative property investment opportunities due to its significant new infrastructure developments and forecast population growth.

DPN currently has dual-income house and land packages available in Tahmoor in the Wollondilly region of the planned Western Parkland City. Dual-income properties can supercharge your ROI.
