Development

The Bunderra site comprises an area of 207.25 hectares, incorporating the former Pasminco lead smelter site and land owned by Incitec Fertilisers Ltd, all of which is being remediated.

The main site extends from Cardiff and Argenton to Boolaroo and east of Boolaroo to Macquarie Hills.

The general plan for the Bunderra site is:

• The development of approximately 800 additional dwellings based on an overall density of 15 dwelling units per hectare
• 2,750 additional residents based on 2.5 persons per dwelling
• Potential for 1,600 jobs in a variety of industries
• Additional passive regional open space on Munibung Hill and the raised central hillside linking with surrounding open space systems
• Integration of the existing urban fabric of the locality

Application for rezoning of the site is underway.
