Landcom (New South Wales)

Landcom is a New South Wales Government–owned statutory corporation that is responsible for the delivery of new housing to meet the needs of people in the Australian state of NSW.

[12] During this decade the organisation demonstrated urban infill and medium-density approaches in greenfield development to make effective use of infrastructure and address affordability.

1995–2001 In the mid-1990s, Landcom expanded operations from greenfield development to urban renewal with redevelopment projects in the inner and middle-ring suburbs of the Sydney metropolitan area.

The new name corresponded with a change in direction resulting from a government mandate to shift from greenfield housing supply to a portfolio of seven urban renewal and infill programs.

[23] The organisation’s primary focus is increasing housing affordability, supply and diversity across metropolitan and regional NSW, and especially in greater Sydney, where population density is the highest.

[25] Under this act, Landcom is constituted as a state-owned corporation with a set of commercial, social, environmental and developmental objectives that govern its functions.

The Board has ultimate responsibility for the performance and commercial success of Landcom and ensuring that it is managed in the best interests of the Shareholder Ministers and all stakeholders.
