Construction has started on a $30 million state-of-the-art community precinct at Stockland Willowdale, comprising a community centre, swim school and childcare centre.
The new community precinct, located along Jamboree Avenue in Denham Court, will span 9,749 square metres in total and was designed in collaboration with Campbelltown City Council and based on community feedback.
Stockland General Manager, Masterplanned Communities NSW & ACT, Sophie Ale said the new precinct will help cater to the growing community’s needs.
“We are delighted to start construction on the precinct, which represents continued investment in the Willowdale community by Stockland. More than half of our residents have children, so it was important for us to deliver community infrastructure on their doorsteps, making the liveability of the area better and easier to access,” Ms Ale said.
“As works progress, we will consult with the local Indigenous community to officially name the community centre, and we will also be engaging with local artists to create an artwork that celebrates the local area’s heritage.”
Once complete in early 2026, Campbelltown City Council will own and manage the community centre as part of Stockland’s development contribution.
Mayor of Campbelltown, Councillor Darcy Lound said this development will see the delivery of important services and facilities for the growing community.
“This project has reached a great milestone which will not only benefit the community of Willowdale, but the wider community which it will service,” Cr Lound said.
“Increased local services and spaces without the need to travel far will be a welcome relief to families. This is a great investment for our local community. Congratulations to Stockland and all those involved for reaching this important milestone.”
The Aquabliss Swim School will feature two state-of-the-art pools, and the addition of a second Goodstart Early Learning Centre will provide a further 121 childcare places for children up to 5 years old, supporting the growing needs of Willowdale families.
The community centre will include a hall, office space and commercial kitchen to help with the catering of events held in the centre.
Stockland Willowdale is located in Sydney’s south west and, once complete, will be home to more than 10,000 residents.
