The conversation around housing supply in Australia has never been more urgent. As demand grows and affordability remains a concern, one region is fast emerging as the standout opportunity for buyers: Western Sydney.
In recent years, the Western Sydney corridor has undergone a dramatic transformation, evolving from undeveloped land into vibrant new communities. Backed by billions in infrastructure investment and the development of Sydney’s second international airport at Badgerys Creek, the region is now considered one of the state’s most dynamic growth areas.
Suburbs like Austral and Leppington, just west of Liverpool, are quickly becoming hotspots for families and first-home buyers. These suburbs offer something increasingly rare in Sydney — affordable land, modern housing, and access to essential amenities like schools, parks, shopping, and public transport.
Originally rezoned in 2013 to accommodate over 17,000 new homes, the area has blossomed into a thriving suburban hub. No longer just a vision on planning documents, Austral and Leppington are now home to thousands and continue to grow rapidly.
One of the key drivers behind this transformation is the significant infrastructure pipeline. Residents in these areas will benefit from proximity to major projects including the Western Sydney International Airport, the Aerotropolis precinct, the M12 Motorway, the Westlink M7, the South West Rail Link Extension, and the upcoming Fifteenth Avenue Smart Transit (FAST) Corridor — a $1 billion project designed to connect Liverpool to the new airport with fast, regular public transport.
These commitments are giving buyers confidence that Western Sydney isn’t just growing — it’s being built to last.
Leading the charge in residential development is Castle Group, with more than $1 billion in property sold across the region. Their latest projects, Valley Rise in Leppington and Bloomfield in Austral, are proving incredibly popular with buyers seeking a modern suburban lifestyle with long-term value.
Both estates are designed for connected living — where residents are just a short walk to shops, green spaces, schools, and transport links. With turnkey house-and-land packages starting from $919,900 and land lots from $695,000*, they offer a compelling opportunity for those looking to enter the market or upsize without compromising on location or lifestyle.
More than half of Castle Group’s buyers are aged 30–40, and a third are first-home buyers — a clear sign that younger Australians are looking west for opportunity and growth.
In a city where affordability is becoming harder to find, Austral and Leppington stand out as suburbs built with the future in mind — delivering space, style, and value for the next generation of Sydney homeowners.
