At Landcom, we understand that community engagement and transparency are fundamental to successful development. That’s why we have consulted with residents in Edmondson Park South West Sydney and Mullumbimby Northern Rivers, to gather valuable feedback on our new 100% affordable housing projects. These initiatives are part of our broader goal to create 1,800 affordable homes by 2029, in partnership with the community housing sector.   We know that affordable housing can sometimes be misunderstood, leading to community concerns. We believe that proactive, transparent engagement is key to overcoming these misconceptions. By fostering open dialogue, we aim to build trust, understand issues, and shape our development plans to align with community needs.   Through authentic community engagement, we aim to inform, involve, and empower residents, fostering neighbourhoods that are not only affordable but also vibrant and sustainable.
