Box Hill Gets 1,200+ New Homes Approved Under Development Plans

The Victorian government approved the $1.57 billion Box Hill Central North Masterplan to deliver 1,700 new homes across seven towers up to 50 storeys with a 10 per cent affordable housing contribution.

Victorian Project Scale

These masterplan numbers establish the immediate housing targets for the Box Hill area in Victoria. The approvals set out the total dwellings and tower heights that will shape local construction activity over coming years. Box Hill in Victoria is undergoing a major construction boom linked to the controversial Suburban Rail Loop project, which has seen hundreds of homes and businesses compulsorily acquired for demolition.

NSW Release Area Completions

In NSW's Box Hill Release Area approvals have been issued for approximately 70 per cent of the anticipated 16,030 residential dwellings, with around 6,238 dwellings already completed as of February 2024. These completion and approval percentages provide a direct measure of progress on the ground. New parks including Ceres Way Reserve and Equinox Drive Reserve have opened in NSW's Box Hill, with construction starting on the Brindle Parkway Sports Fields.

Long-Term Projections

The NSW Box Hill precinct is projected to develop up to 16,699 dwellings accommodating nearly 51,231 residents once fully completed by 2037, creating up to 16,000 new jobs. These resident and job figures give a clear picture of the planned population and employment outcomes once all stages finish. The data allow residents and local organisations to track how current approvals align with the overall targets set for the precinct.

Planning authorities continue to manage the rollout of these approved dwellings and associated open space works. Local residents can review updates through official government planning portals for further details on timelines and stages.
