North Eveleigh Clothing Store Precinct lots transferred to Homes NSW

Ownership of parts of the Clothing Store precinct at North Eveleigh has been transferred from Transport for NSW to Homes NSW on August 2 2026 after being announced in July 2024. Carrigeworks Way and other key precinct roads will remain in TfNSW’s ownership. This transfer will enable Homes NSW to progress plans for delivering new housing and community outcomes on three blocks on the site. Development will occur in stages, with the first stage anticipated to deliver new social housing on land behind the existing affordable housing, The Platform Apartments, adjacent to the railway corridor and Carriageworks.

Homes NSW has advised that the development is expected to deliver:

  • around 500 new homes including a mix of social, affordable and market housing
  • new and improved public open space
  • community facilities and potential retail uses
  • preserving the heritage Clothing Store building for future use

The precinct includes three lots that will be developed in stages. Carriageworks Way and other key precinct roads will remain in Transport for NSW's ownership.

The first stage focuses on planning and delivering new social housing on the lot adjacent to the railway corridor and Carriageworks, near the existing affordable housing Platform Apartments.

Later stages will deliver additional housing, open space, retail and community uses, and the transformation of the heritage Clothing Store building. Project timelines will be confirmed and communicated as planning progresses.

Homes NSW is committed to delivering a high-quality development that responds to community needs, respects the heritage significance of the site, and contributes to increased housing supply.

As planning progresses, Homes NSW will keep the community informed and provide opportunities to learn more about the project and share feedback. Homes NSW will review the Concept Plan in consultation with the community as planning progresses. It is committed to building on the extensive community consultation already undertaken at this site over the years. The project will continue to reflect community priorities established in the Redfern North Eveleigh Strategic Vision 2022.

The North Eveleigh Concept Plan, approved in 2008, establishes the planning framework for the precinct. Our renewal will build on the intent and urban design principles of the Concept Plan, while responding to current government housing priorities and contemporary planning and design standards.

The Clothing Store Sub-Precinct forms part of the broader North Eveleigh Precinct renewal.

REDWatch Note: REDWatch is following up with Homes NSW to receive a briefing on the project and has been pushing for an early community meeting with Homes NSW. REDWatch has also talked to Carriageworks about the possibility of a community meeting being held there as the closest meeting location to the site.
