A large parcel of Wollongong Coal’s Wongawilli mining land, will be transformed into more than 1500 homes, a primary school, sports fields and a new town centre at the edge of Horsley.
Along with a handful of other rural sites in Horsley and Huntley, the mine land will form a new West Dapto neighbourhood with about 2300 homes in total.
Wollongong City Council will consider the draft neighbourhood plan for the southern part of the site – which contains 736 homes – at next week’s meeting.
This includes 13 hectares of the mine land, as well as about 61 hectares of land owned by AV Jennings and Sundy Investments.
