Southwest Sydney’s premier regional sporting and education destination.

Glenfield is south-west Sydney’s premier regional sporting and education destination. With DPIE, we developed a master plan for the Glenfield precinct for 2040, revitalising and transforming Glenfield into a new self-contained new centre for the south-west.

Glenfield has been consistently identified as an ideal location for urban renewal due to its proximity to public transport. The master plan increased dwellings, density, and heights to encourage renewal and link infrastructure with growth. It also offers the potential for employment through education, healthcare and commercial opportunities.

Through the transformation, Glenfield’s heritage will be protected and enhanced, with existing schools retained and with investment in the future of Hurlstone Agricultural High School to continue a strong legacy of contribution to agricultural education.

The Precinct is a unique educational hub for Western Sydney, supported by a diversity of housing that responds to the community’s changing needs. The outcome will be a connected, inclusive community where people come together and enjoy parks, playing fields and abundant open space adjacent to a new and thriving town centre.

Our scope included master planning, testing of built form options and design of street typologies to lead to the successful completion of an indicative layout plan for public exhibition.
