A 4,602 sqm amalgamated site at 19–25 Macquarie Place and 46–56 Pitt Street in Mortdale is being repositioned for a State Significant Development combining a new RSL club with 233 apartments.
The proposal seeks to demolish the existing Mortdale RSL, adjoining retail and residential buildings to deliver a mixed-use scheme with a new club, retail and medical uses at the base and residential above.
The built form introduces an 8–9 storey perimeter block with a tower rising to 20 storeys, delivering 233 apartments including 39 affordable dwellings. Total floorspace is 25,230 sqm, with 2,735 sqm allocated to non-residential uses.
Five basement levels provide 479 parking spaces, with approximately 2,000 sqm of communal open space integrated across podium and rooftop areas.
The site is currently split zoned R4 High Density Residential and E1 Local Centre. The scheme requires a concurrent rezoning to increase height and floor space ratio controls and resolve permissibility issues tied to the club and medical uses.
The RSL currently operates under existing use rights, but the redevelopment formalises a long-term planning pathway through a state-led process.
Located around 200 metres from Mortdale Station within the town centre, the site sits in a highly accessible position surrounded by retail and mid-rise residential buildings.
The proposal effectively trades a low-scale club and fragmented landholding for a consolidated, high-density mixed-use outcome anchored by a renewed civic use.
The move signals a shift in how suburban club sites are being repositioned — using residential uplift to fund renewal and secure long-term viability.
