This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sydney Metro City and Southwest
A 30km metro rail extension connecting Chatswood to Bankstown via the Sydney CBD. The Chatswood to Sydenham section, featuring a new harbour crossing and seven CBD stations, opened on 19 August 2024. The final stage involves converting the 13.5km T3 Bankstown Line to metro standards between Sydenham and Bankstown, upgrading 11 stations with platform screen doors, lifts, and full accessibility. The T3 line closed in September 2024 to enable conversion works. Following delays caused by over 130 days of industrial action, the Sydenham to Bankstown section is scheduled to open in the second half of 2026. End-to-end high-speed testing at up to 100km/h commenced in November 2025, and the first full-length test run from Tallawong to Bankstown was completed in January 2026. The Bankstown Station transit interchange and community precinct opened in March 2026. When complete, the M1 Line will span 66km with 31 stations, running every four minutes in peak.
Campsie Private Hospital
A greenfield acute private hospital proposed on a 4,412 square metre site in Campsie Town Centre, with plans for around 22,478 square metres of gross floor area across 10 levels and 218 beds. The facility is intended to deliver inpatient and outpatient services including emergency, intensive care, maternity, day surgery, cardiac care, dialysis and oncology, alongside specialist consulting suites, a pharmacy, cafe and around 382 car parking spaces. It is positioned as the anchor of the emerging Campsie Health Precinct, complementing the adjacent Canterbury Public Hospital and addressing acute healthcare shortfalls in the Canterbury-Bankstown area. Planning controls (a 45.5 metre height limit and FSR of 5.1:1) have been adopted by Council via a site-specific amendment to the Local Environmental Plan and Development Control Plan. In late 2025 the developer Hailiang Property Group placed the project on the market via Colliers, inviting capital partners and hospital operators to participate in the development, ownership and operation of the hospital, with Expressions of Interest closing on 5 November 2025.

Designed by CHROFI with Tyrrell Studio, the facility will include a theatre, studio, two multipurpose halls, a community lounge and a cafe. The surrounding new urban park will feature a public plaza, sloping green lawn, garden terrace, interactive water play, public art and landscaping.

The project forms part of the broader Holdmark Burwood Place mixed-use precinct and is supported by a partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia. Demolition and the first stage of construction commenced on 29 September 2025.
Canterbury Racecourse Place Strategy
A collaborative strategic planning project between the City of Canterbury Bankstown, the NSW Department of Planning and the Australian Turf Club (ATC). While the ATC has recently reaffirmed its commitment to racing at the site with a $10 million infrastructure investment and the return of night racing in late 2026, the strategy continues to explore long-term options for the 35-hectare site. This includes a potential $70 million, 200-unit housing development on a 1.28-hectare surplus land parcel on King Street aimed at providing community facilities and revenue for the club.
Croydon Transport Oriented Development Precinct
A state-led urban renewal initiative delivering high-density, mixed-use housing around Croydon Station.
