Homes NSW Illawarra renewal projects - public ownership?

The Bellambi estate.

Renewal & removal

Since 2024 Homes NSW, a department of the NSW Government, has been investigating and planning renewal projects for public housing in the Illawarra district, specifically in Bellambi, Crown St Wollongong, Gwynneville and Sandon Point Bulli. This page provides information on those projects and addresses the issue of public ownership options.

The Sandon Pt, Bulli, development at 6-10 Southview St, comprises three blocks of public coastal land owned by the former Housing Commission which are being integrated into a consolidated, 2-3 story building which will house 13 units of public house. This is prime coastal land and the proposed building will have a major visual impact upon the present landscape.

The Crown St, Wollongong, development comprises a former 1950s apartment building which will be upgraded to accommodate 120 public housing units.

The plans for Bellambi and Gwynneville are still under development, though will likely result in demolition of current housing options to be replaced by updated alternatives. The Bellambi estate, which include prime beachfront land, will most likely see the most significant redevelopment and displacement of current residents.

Introduction There has long been conjecture as to whether the British singer / songwriter / guitarist Nick Drake died on 25 November 1974 from an accidental overdose of prescribed medication, or meaningfully used that medication - or some other substance - to commit suicide, as was officially reported (Humphries 1998). It is likely that the truth will never be known. During 1999 the spectre of death from a heroin overdose was raised by American Sco...
