Urbis has investigated the trends that will deliver sustained and confident growth now and into the future. This involves recognising the key fundamentals that investors should seek to secure returns, as well as, identifying regions that will be the most desirable to live, work and play.

Long term value growth will be the most important motivator for buyers moving forward, and in today’s new market demand, those regions accommodating a unique formula will benefit the most in the long run.

To help identify these locations, Urbis has concluded that the most desirable locations will be those which deliver ‘P.I.E’. Population, Infrastructure and Employment growth.
POPULATION GROWTH
INFRASTRUCTURE
EMPLOYMENT
Regions with strong population growth improve the potential demand for new residential development through access to a growing market and future household formation.
Locations supported by infrastructure and services improve the value derived from locational driven amenity.
Proximity and access to employment nodes is essential for strong residential growth. It supports a future population and opens a local labour market for residential developments as workers seek housing within easy transit to their place of work.
The NSW Department of Planning and Environment projects that the population of Greater Sydney the increase by around 1.6% per annum over the next decade, which could drive demand for around 35,200 additional dwellings per year. Based on housing approval data, it is estimated that around 60% of these dwellings would be apartments, equating to over 21,000 apartments per year.

The key residential demand drivers have been identified by Urbis as comprising proximity and access to employment, public transport, services, recreation and social infrastructure.
Market Outlook Edmondson Park
Access to good public transport and road infrastructure are important to potential purchasers and renters. Particularly, linkages to the CBD, airport and major employment centres. Future infrastructure projects can revitalise areas, improve connectivity and linkages, create new jobs and reshape the existing community.
The draft Greater Sydney Region Plan (2056) identifies a need for an additional 817,000 jobs by 2056, with a strong focus on economic corridors, health and education precincts and strategic centres. Residential development in greenfield areas is set to benefit from these new employment nodes, noting Western Sydney Airport’s role as a key economic centre.
SOUTH WEST SYDNEY OVERVIEW The South West Sydney region has been identified by the NSW Government as a critical component of Sydney’s future growth. The Greater Sydney Regional Plan outlines the 40-year vision for Greater Sydney as a metropolis of three cities (Sydney CBD, Parramatta and Western Sydney Aerotropolis). The key principle underlying the strategy is the delivery of a 30-minute city to provide better access to jobs, schools and health care within 30 minutes of people’s homes. In this way, the vision seeks to rebalance growth and opportunities across Sydney. Major infrastructure projects such as the Western Sydney Airport and the South West Rail Link will attract new residents and employment opportunities to the region. The construction of the Western Sydney Airport will provide global connections and generate significant employment and is anticipated to be a major catalyst for business investment within the region. Around 20,000 new jobs are projected for the precinct by 2031, within five years of the Western Sydney Airport’s anticipated opening in 2026.
To promote economic and population growth the NSW Government has also identified several priority precincts in South West Sydney comprising: §§ South West Growth Area §§ Western Sydney Airport Growth Area §§ Western Sydney Employment Area §§ Leppington Town Centre. The NSW Department of Planning and Environment projects the population of South West Sydney to increase strongly by around 2.9% per annum by 2033, This could drive demand for around 5,200 additional dwellings per year. This projected rate of population growth is well above the average annual projected growth rate for Greater Sydney of 1.5%. Western Sydney University is one of the fastest growing universities in Australia with over 55,000 students. It is listed in the world’s top 100 universities under the age of 50 in the Times Higher Education rankings, and ranked in the top 2% of universities in the world. South West Sydney residents are well placed to access the Campbelltown and Liverpool campuses. The recently completed South West Rail Link provides train connection to existing stations at Leppington and Edmondson Park and will provide access to new residents in the growing South West Sydney region. The proposed extension to the South West Rail Link will provide future connection to the Western Sydney Airport via Leppington.

The key employment precincts of Campbelltown CBD and Liverpool CBD are projected to accommodate strong employment growth across health, education and professional services.

The Edmondson Park Study Area has a growing proportion of renting households which accounted for 16% of dwellings in 2011 and grew to 18% in 2016 (ABS Census). This reflects a growing rental market within the study area. According to the NSW Department of Housing, median rent for three-bedroom houses in the 2170 postcode was $470 per week in the December 2018 quarter, growing at a rate of 3.9% per annum over the past 10 years.

This was well above the Greater Sydney average of 3.2% over the last decade. This reflects the potential for higher rental growth in apartments in the Study Area.

Metro Sydney
Edmondson Park is transforming from a low density residential market of houses to a more diverse market to include an emerging apartment sector.
Given the limited availability of apartment sales in the region, we have assessed the study area’s housing market to measure historic price growth trends. According to APM PriceFinder, the median sales prices for houses in the study area grew at a healthy 6.9% per annum from December 2013 to December 2018 based on an average of around 520 settled transactions per annum.
To note, this data does not include off the plan sales that have not yet settled, indicating that the housing market is likely achieving the high volumes and growth of recent years. The median price for houses in the Liverpool LGA has reflected stronger growth than that for Greater Sydney over the past decade. These figures show potential for the study area to reflect high median price growth as emerging apartment development occurs.
