The Newleaf Bonnyrigg project is the renewal of an existing social housing estate, transforming it from 100% social housing to a mixed community with over 2,500 dwellings. The development includes new urban infrastructure and community facilities, providing both private and social housing for NSW Land and Housing Corporation.
The project aims to complete the estate renewal in 18 stages over several years, ensuring a gradual neighborhood transition. Key objectives include delivering infrastructure upgrades, managing tenant relocations, and meeting construction requirements while maintaining a balanced social housing mix.
Essence managed Stages 6 & 7, overseeing the delivery of infrastructure upgrades, community facilities, and residential construction. Our role involved managing the planning, procurement, and construction processes, addressing tenant relocations, and ensuring successful completion of key milestones.
