Ingham Property Group. The Ingham family purchased the original 42-acre farm in 1918, and the site has been in the family's ownership for four generations. Ingham Property Group is owned by Norma and Bob Ingham’s four children who grew up on this land.
-
A residential-led development of approximately 637 dwellings in residential flat buildings, shop-top housing and townhouses, with neighbourhood retail, a village green, a community pavilion and new pedestrian and cycle links.
-
The site is within 700 metres of existing Casula Train Station, on a major transport corridor and close to shops, services and open space. Locating taller buildings on the highway frontage creates a place marker for Casula, consistent with other gateway sites in the Liverpool area. We have carefully designed a height transition to existing homes, with three-storey townhouses along the western boundary. This design consideration should minimise any overshadowing impacts.
-
Approximately 637 across Stages 1 and 2, including one, two and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses. We will offer new homes at a variety of price points that make it easier for future generations to live in Casula near family. Stage 1 includes approximately 188 dwellings. Dwelling numbers will be refined as the design develops.
-
Not until the project is approved by the NSW Government. If approved, Stage 1 would be built first, in three construction phases. Timing will be confirmed closer to construction.

No. This website relates to the State Significant Development Application and concurrent rezoning only. By signing up for updates on this website, we will send you a notice on when sales of new homes will begin. This may include any friends of the project early release special promotions.
-
The height transition has been designed with neighbours' privacy in mind, with three-storey townhouses along the western boundary and the taller buildings located along the Hume Highway. This important design consideration should minimise any overshadowing of existing homes. The design is also considering setbacks, landscaping and screening, and the placement of windows and balconies. The design team will consider neighbours' comments on amenity.
-
Early analysis indicates that, due to the site's orientation and our considered design, most afternoon shadows from the taller buildings would fall over the Hume Highway. Shadow diagrams are being prepared and will be available at the sessions.
-
A Transport Impact Assessment is being prepared in line with TfNSW guidelines. It will model traffic generation, site access and the performance of nearby intersections, including Old Kurrajong Road and Kurrajong Road at the Hume Highway.
-
Large or complex projects can be declared State Significant Development (SSD). This means the application is assessed by DPHI and determined by the NSW Government. This project was declared SSD in August 2025, following a recommendation from the Housing Delivery Authority, which advises the Minister on major housing proposals.
-
A rezoning amends the planning controls that apply to a site. This proposal seeks to amend the building height, floor space ratio and minimum lot size controls in the Liverpool LEP 2008, and to permit small-scale retail and commercial uses. The R4 High Density Residential zoning is not changing. Concurrent means the rezoning is assessed at the same time as the SSDA. We are seeking controls that will allow us to create a community to be proud of that has access to convenient street level retail shops and services, ample parking and connected open spaces.
