A long-awaited rezoning in Mascot has paved the way for a major social and affordable housing redevelopment, with Homes NSW lodging a State Significant DA to transform a post-war housing estate into a modern high-density community asset.
The site, located at 792 – 794 Botany Road and 33 – 37 Henry Kendall Crescent, spans 4,904 sqm and currently accommodates 25 social housing dwellings in five 1950s-era brick buildings.

A planning proposal to rezone the site was finalised in September 2024. The application was lodged in 2017 and saw the site rezoned in the following way:
