ABSTRACT
Current circumstances relating to urban renewal and consolidation in the West
Central subregion of Sydney and in particular the suburb of Cabramatta can be
likened to a stalemate in a game of chess. As the New South Wales Government
plans to increase and renew housing in the form of higher density development, the
majority of the existing community living within these areas need, amongst other
things, better outcomes in terms of development improvements, design quality and
more affordable housing options.
From the perspective of developers, there are too many risks for too little returns,
starting from project inception to delivery. There is a very real prospect of large scale
displacement and greater housing stress, with significant social and political
repercussions. Urban renewal in the form of consolidation must be rethought and
remodeled through improved policy and specialised development initiatives.
The primary aim of this thesis is to examine and distil broad lessons from local
housing projects in Cabramatta to help form best practice property development
policy mechanisms. It is hoped that this will help better inform future policy and
actions as well as contribute to the existing academic body of work concerning urban
consolidation and renewal.

CHAPTER ONE - INTRODUCTION

1. Introduction
1.1 Background
The Metropolitan Strategy is a broad framework intended to secure Sydney’s place in
the global economy by promoting and managing growth (NSW Department of
Planning 2005). The strategy is considered as one of the most ambitious plans ever
produced to guide Sydney’s growth as it proposes approximately two-thirds of all
future housing to be in established areas, effectively signalling the reversal of past
strategies where most population growth relied on the new release areas on the
outskirts of the region (Meyer, 2005). To help to meet this target, some 95,500 new
homes have been designated for the West Central subregion, incorporating the local
government areas (LGA) of Parramatta, Bankstown, Fairfield, Auburn and Holroyd
(NSW Department of Planning 2005).
A growing body of literature however, suggests that such strategies are deemed to
fall short of the mark, brought on by an oversight of the processes needed to
implement these strategies and a lack of understanding of the issues affecting these
areas. Some of the limits, as identified by Searle, include providing adequate
capacities in infrastructure and land, the need to maintain urban vitality, mitigating the
potential loss of economic activity and meeting market demand (2003).
Other studies largely produced by Randolph and his colleagues also reveal similar
concerns invariably linked to the socio-economic profiles associated with the majority
of areas in the West Central. On one side of the equation, urban renewal and
consolidation initiatives for the West Central will have a whole raft of social enigmas
to contend with whilst on the other, there are difficulties concerning the built form and
the quality and capacity of existing housing stocks in these areas – this relates
particularly to existing strata and lot arrangements (see Ruming et al., 2007,
Randolph, 2006 and Randolph, 2008).
In light of this, the situation appears to present an irreconcilable dilemma for city
planners to preserve and promote renewal and consolidate housing (Searle, 2006;
3
Beer et al., 2007). If current practices in housing continue unchanged there is real
concern that it would tend toward even greater exacerbation of the socio-spatial
polarisation of high and low income households (Gurran, 2008). Facilitating housing
through urban renewal and consolidation initiatives in these areas therefore is likely
to face higher risks and take place over a long time span (Randolph, 2006). The do
nothing option is not an alternative either. If housing is left the way it is, it would
eventually succumb to the problems of urban decay.
The need to develop more innovative and practical solutions of development
implementation is thus imperative to ensuring that the bulk of the prescribed housing
targets are delivered effectively and sustainably. To avoid further problems for the
future, ideal solutions would need to seek for other mechanisms to strike a balance
between housing and rental affordability, production of higher quality urban design
outcomes and building performance, improvements to tenure choice and improved
provision of infrastructure and development funding. For one, various forms of public
and private industry arrangements can help achieve this (e.g. Smith, 2006 and Adair,
Berry & McGreal, 2003).
So far, policy responses like the Commonwealth Government’s National Rental
Affordability Scheme (NRAS), the recent introduction of New South Wales (NSW)
Government’s new Affordable Rental Housing - State Environmental Planning Policy
(SEPP) together with the roll out of specific housing actions in the Metropolitan
Strategy are key steps in the right direction. But more needs to be done.
As a contribution to these efforts, the thesis will reflect on interviews undertaken with
various local developers in Cabramatta to help gain a better understanding of the
issues they regard as important in shaping future housing in the area and achieving
more sustainable outcomes. It is hoped that the findings from this research task will
help inform and improve housing renewal and consolidation initiatives for the broader
subregional area.
1.2 Problem Statement
The current circumstances relating to urban renewal and consolidation in the West
Central subregion and in particular the suburb of Cabramatta can be likened to a
4
stalemate in a game of chess. As the New South Wales Government plans to
increase and renew housing in the form of higher density development, the majority
of the existing community living within these areas need, amongst other things,
betters outcomes in terms of development improvements, design quality and more
affordable housing options.
It will be difficult to satisfy these objectives. Current mechanisms and development
solutions alone have too large of a gap to fill. From the perspectives of developers,
there are too many risks for too little returns, starting from project inception to
delivery. For development to work under these models, many undesirable outcomes
are likely to happen; there is a real prospect of large scale displacement and greater
housing stress with significant social and political repercussions. The move then is
with the Government. To break this deadlock, urban renewal in the form of
consolidation must be rethought and remodeled through either improved policy and
or specialised development initiatives.
The primary objective of this thesis is to examine and distil broad lessons of best
practice property development from local housing projects in Cabramatta. It is hoped
that this will help better inform future policy and actions as well as contribute to the
existing academic body of work concerning urban consolidation and renewal. The
role of local developers and the significance of their contributions will serve a primary
feature to this. By drawing on their feedback and experiences, the thesis can attempt
to highlight possible areas of change and other styles of approach to housing
development which may produce better outcomes going forward.
1.2.1 Research Objectives
Investigations into the problem statement will comprise of the following primary and
secondary objectives:
Explore the current body of knowledge relating to urban renewal and
consolidation practices;
5
Examine the changes in housing and urban form that have occurred in
Cabramatta since post Second World War;
Investigate the role developers’ play within Cabramatta and the processes and
outcomes of recent residential projects that have occurred in the area;
Present the experiences of local developers and their views as to what they
regard as important for future housing to produce sustainable outcomes; and
Identify improvements that can to better support residential development in
Cabramatta and in turn for the broader area
1.2.2 Research Questions
To achieve the prescribed objectives, the following sets of research questions will be
used.
Primary Questions
What are the experiences of local developers in the locality?
What features of the development process has benefited them and what has
not?
In what ways can these experiences inform best practice solutions for larger
scale property development in the future for Cabramatta?
Secondary Questions
What are the representations of urban renewal and consolidation in the
current body of literature?
What is the nature of housing development in Cabramatta?
1.3 Research Methodology
Findings for the research task will be derived by investigating and assembling
together various sources of primary and secondary data (see Figure 1). Together,
they include a series of one-on-one interviews, a review of the existing body of
literature concerning urban renewal and consolidation; and an audit of recent local
development applications.

CHAPTER TWO – URBAN GROWTH PATTERNS

2. Urban Growth Patterns
2.1 Overview
The purpose of this chapter is to examine the current body of knowledge of which the
primary research of this paper is contributing to. The tour will begin with a review of
the relevant literature concerning urban growth patterns and management practices.
The framework will establish the necessary groundwork and understanding which will
serve as the prelude to subsequent chapters.
2.2 Literary Discourse
Urban environments need to constantly respond to a whole host of factors, the result
of which determines its particular form and function. These factors may include
changes in government reforms, shifts in the economy, household characteristics,
employment, population growth and migration as well as the demands and
constraints from the natural environment to name a few. For many governments,
urban renewal and consolidation is seen more and more as the conduit necessary to
respond to issues. For example, these may include urban decay, changes to local
demographics and dysfunctions in local market economies, space or communities.
The following sections in this chapter will identify and discuss the benefits and issues
relating to the role of urban renewal and urban consolidation as examined in the
current literature.
2.3 Urban Renewal
Renewal is by no means a new concept. It is a process which has been widely used
ever since humans first realised that there was a need to replace or alter a particular
development or a collection of them. The process comes about through many
different reasons, including the advent of new architectural philosophies and with it
the introduction of new materials and improvements in craftsmanship. Gradual
degradation and catastrophes brought on by natural disasters and even through war
can also be some of the precursors to renewal procedures.
10
The term urban renewal is essentially the same concept. The reference to the term
“urban” implies a particular focus on renewal activities taking place in settings of
contemporary cities and towns; places which are shaped and supported by complex
road networks and other infrastructure utilities, varying distributions of demographic
profiles and higher population counts, larger varieties of housing types and living
conditions, varying land use clusters and suburbia to name a few. A wide collection
of discussions in the urban planning studies literature pay particular attention to this
concept. Sometimes referred to as urban revitalisation or regeneration, the following
conceptual frameworks offered by some observers encapsulates many of the
important dimensions relevant to the practice today.
“Urban revitalisation, the rekindling and revaluing of human activities and interests in
cities following the social, cultural and technological changes of the past
decades...includes elements of renovation, restoration and redevelopment...” (Taylor
& Newtown 1985: 1)
“Problems of economic decline, social and economic change and physical and
environmental dereliction may combine in particular localities to create or reinforce
poverty, disadvantage and deprivation. Regeneration represents a response to these
problems, seeking to promote greater prosperity, wider social inclusion and an
enhanced quality of life for local communities. It is a long-term process, linking
economic, social and environmental issues and policies” (Smith, 2006)
“Urban renewal is the term given to the combined efforts of public agencies and
private individuals to revitalise urban areas by maintaining, rehabilitating or
redeveloping properties to make them more suited to future needs. The urban
renewal concept is usually applied to situations of environmental decline which offer
potential for improvement. In the past this potential has been seen mainly in terms of
physical improvement, with an emphasis on redevelopment.” (Department of
Environment, Housing and Community Development 1977 pp. vii)
As we see in these frameworks, the notion of physical improvement continues to be
the centre piece in urban renewal rationale. Beyond this concept, we see that in the
contemporary context, urban renewal is closely associated to influences coming
11
largely in part from political, legal, economic, technical, environmental and
sociological aspects. That said, there is an overriding perception that urban renewal
projects almost always results in outcomes better than circumstances prior to its
undertaking – which begs one to ask, relevant to areas of low-income
neighbourhoods, is this necessarily the case? Some case studies detailing urban
renewal procedures and outcomes have helped provide some critical insight to better
understanding contemporary concerns
In the British context, regeneration initiatives undertaken in Birmingham provide
some evidence to the effects of physical and economic restructuring on surrounding
residential districts (Cameron and Doling, 1994). Introduced in light of the economic
downturn that was occurring around the 1980’s, regeneration strategies were devised
to reverse this trend by broadening the city’s economic base of industry to more
service-sector oriented (DiGaetano and Klemanski, 1993). To do this, the city council
adopted a CBD-focused model of regeneration as its primary vehicle for securing the
city's economic future, promoting Birmingham as an international centre for business
tourism, leisure and culture, and attracting footloose inward private-sector investment
and jobs (Loftman and Nevin, 1992). This was undertaken with pragmatic approach
to local development, the result of this has had profound effects on the recovery and
growth of the city (Carley 1991).
For social residential land uses, it was found that the outcomes of regeneration
initiatives had not resulted in issues of displacement and affordability. Cameron and
Doling proposes that the resistance to gentrification from these areas is attributed
primarily to the fact that a large proportion of housing is in the ownership of the local
authority and where in the instances that transfers take place, it is usually sold to
non-profit providers (1994). In effect this has reduced the potential for displacement
and maintains the affordability of housing in the area. There have however been
some criticisms which have developed as a result of regeneration initiatives in
relation to access to economic opportunities available to low-income
neighbourhoods. This is highlighted by Barber and Hall as they point out that
economic difficulties and wider disadvantage experienced by much of the city’s
population and many of its neighbourhoods have continued to endure and even
deepened despite the efforts of numerous area-based regeneration programmes
12
(2008). This is seen as a result largely due to the fact that low income
neighbourhoods are excluded and insulated from economic change and regeneration
in the city (Cameron and Doling, 1994).
The experience in South Korea also reveals more extreme circumstances. In urban
Korea, Ha explains that largely due to the interests of white-collar workers,
government interests in macroeconomic concerns and profiteering, housing
regeneration projects have systematically reduced the availability of housing in the
areas where low-income families are concentrated (2007). Although the focus of
such initiatives may have been on improving the physical deterioration of buildings
and distressed neighbourhoods spearheaded by joint venture private enterprise, the
actual outcomes have provided little consideration for the social and cultural capital
of low-income neighbourhoods (Ha, 2007). As such, whilst catering for those more
financially capable, Korea’s housing renewal projects have caused other socio-
economic problems such as the collapse of low-income communities through eviction
and affordability – much to which is instigated by the lack of understanding of what
these communities really need (Ha, 2007).
Clearly, there is an interesting contrast existing between the intended outcomes
supplied by the urban renewal frameworks and the outcomes described in the
renewal case studies presented. Whilst it is acknowledge that although the case
studies are not representative of all renewal projects for distressed neighbourhoods,
particularly for those that have been successful, it does supply greater perspective on
the possible issues and complications arising from these initiatives. By exploring such
cases and others alike (see Turok, 1992 and Lawless, 1994), it is realised that the
key issues which dominate renewal in such neighbourhoods include the risk of
displacement, housing affordability and social equity. It is also important to keep in
mind that these issues stem from the point of view in favour of existing communities.
In contemplation of Barber and Halls question “whose urban renaissance?” – there is
a realisation governing bodies and other stakeholders face unique obstacles as well.
For government, this can be because of the need to fulfil political goals whereas in
private industry for instance, this would appropriately be the need to make a profit.
13
In light of all this, what is it about renewal in low income areas that creates the
potential for such problems? Of the many possible factors, one key theme is solely
attributable to this. This theme is governance – its style of approach, ability to
coordinate, and the mechanisms it creates in addressing renewal initiatives in a
particular area. Jones and Evans describe this in the sense of the inability of
government to act because too much emphasis is placed upon policy tools or due to
the difficulties of achieving co-operative action (2006).
As highlighted by Hackworth (2003, see also Cook & Ruming, 2008; Zhu, 1997 and
Schall, 2001), policies are invariably linked to different political doctrines of those
governments which design and implement them. Because of this, approaches in
policies have had significant impacts to the efficiency of achieving outcomes aligning
themselves to either socio-democratic or neo-liberal values. Social democratic
approaches are considered as policies which embrace a higher degree of
government led interventions and promote a centralisation of policies (Baker, 1999),
whereas neoliberalism is said to represent those frameworks of political and
economic authority that champions market operation and efficiency over a wide
range of social relations (Brenner & Theodore, 2002).
In terms of alleviating those impacts which have emerged, it is generally found that
low income residential renewal projects involving a high degree of direct government
intervention are more capable in dealing with such issues. Such examples may
include government-led increases to the supply in social housing stocks and rent
control to name a few. Studies undertaken by Milligan, Dielman & Kempen into the
impacts of housing policies on low-income households in Australia and the
Netherlands illustrate this point (2006).
On this note, it is rather odd that governments in cities across the world are tending
to adopt neoliberal approaches to redevelopment policy instead (see Shenjing &
Fulong, 2009 and Addie, 2008). Baum explains that this is attributable to growing
need push for integration into the global economy, for matters of competitiveness,
prosperity and development at the level of the nation state (1997). With reference to
the regeneration of low-income neighbourhoods, there seems to be somewhat of a
paradox. Brenner and Theodore similarly share this point of view and at the same
14
time shed light to the idea that perhaps more holistic approaches, those that
incorporate all areas and groups into the renewal process, would be of a better
remedy. They state:
“On one hand, while neoliberalism aspires to create a “utopia” of free markets
liberated from all forms of state interference, it has in practice entailed a dramatic
intensification of coercive, disciplinary forms of state intervention in order to impose
market rule upon all aspects of social life...on the other hand, whereas neoliberal
ideology implies that self-regulating markets will generate an optimal allocation of
investments and resources, neoliberal political practice has generated pervasive
market failures, new forms of social polarization, and a dramatic intensification of
uneven development at all spatial scales.” (Brenner and Theodore 2002)
The practice of urban renewal initiatives in distressed neighbourhoods as explored so
far involves a complex range of processes affecting many people. Through critical
extrapolation of urban renewal frameworks it is clear that the successes and failures
are primarily derived from the quality, style and effectiveness of governance. This
would usually depend upon co-operation, partnership and the integration of different
programmes and policies, adopting a holistic approach at an appropriate
geographical scale (Smith, 2006 p 271). Having examined example cases studies
and similar to what Zhu states, it is clear that governance which brings about greater
capacity for more direct government intervention seems indispensable not only to
make market operations efficient, but also to achieve other non-economic goals
(1997). This is a vital necessity to the regeneration of neighbourhoods in distress.
2.4 Urban Consolidation
Urban consolidation has been a point of interest and debate amongst scholars,
planning practitioners, sociologists, demographers and the like for many decades. As
such, there is a vast variety of literature available with the bulk of it examining the
concept’s impressions on past and contemporary planning regimes, its perceived and
measured benefits as well as drawbacks; and it’s environmental, social and
economic impacts. To better understanding of the relationship shared between
density and the built form, Scoffham and Vale (2005) challenges us by asking:
15
“...Does it mean that buildings, and with them the functions of urban life, should be
close together; closer together than is now common? Does it mean, inter alia, an
increase in density, so that more people and, one might expect, more urban functions
are located within a given area?...”
Taking this into consideration and with regard to the general consensus found across
the literature, an appropriate definition of the concept could be defined as a means
by which more people can be brought into existing residential areas where the
necessary infrastructure such as public transport, schools and utilities are already in
place (Smith 1997). Having explored the notion of renewal, it can be seen that
consolidation is a form of renewal practice. With regard to the planning practice, it is
also important to note that it does not refer to one single policy, but rather a number
of related land use measures and housing initiatives that can increase residential
densities. (NSW Department of Environment and Planning, 1984 p. 1, sourced from
Bunker et al 2002) As one may have figured already, some commentators choose to
use other terms such as compact city, centralist planning, urban compaction or
containment, densification and other more trendy variants like transport oriented
design (TOD) and smart growth in their works to describe principally the same
method of approach to developing the urban form.
Based on this framework, we continue by exploring the strengths of this concept.
Firstly, it requires that urban consolidation concentrates first and foremost on
increased residential densities. This suggests that by doing so, the densification of
residential land uses underwrites the perceived benefits of living in consolidated
areas. This thought is rather logical. For example, we see in Greenberg’s et al work,
the provision of infrastructure is described to be more cost effective, as it does not
demand for entirely new systems to be installed, by utilising existing capacities by
grouping people closer together (2001). Secondly, the need for common visions and
comprehensive coordination between policy makers and key stakeholders are also
emphasised. This further challenges us to think of consolidated areas, and if one
would like the urban fabric as a whole, as perhaps a physical by-product of land
management practices and governmental quality.
16
Throughout the literature, the debate between urban consolidation and urban sprawl
is a notable standout, with both doctrines gaining as much support as the other.
Breheny describes that the debate between the two concepts has shifted from the
traditional grounds based on the quality of urban and rural life and the aesthetics of
urbanity to more contemporary concerns of sustainable development (2005). That is
not to say that those traditional arguments have disappeared altogether.
Nevertheless, as the topical issue of global warming and climate change draws
growing interest from governments across the world, the urban consolidation
approach has been reviewed as an effective way of enhancing a city’s economy
whilst offering increased benefits of mitigating development and population impacts
onto the environment.
The potential benefits of urban consolidation as described by the then NSW
Department of Environment and Planning, include land savings, more affordable
housing, economising on infrastructure, reducing natural resource use in the form of
energy and water demand, and widening housing choices (1984; see also Holliday,
2000). A range of papers reflect on these benefits, questioning the integrity of these
claims but also providing a critical insight to the whole issue of sustainability. Where
studies have been found to focus on a particular variable, many other areas have yet
to be investigated. We continue our tour by examining some broad accounts of these
discussions.
Contrary to the belief that urban consolidation enables greater housing affordability,
some critics in the field have condemned it as being a catalyst to the problem.
Proponents generally argue that by imposing urban growth boundaries onto the
fringes of the city, the restriction of new supplies of land would place a premium on
existing urban areas for either sale or redevelopment prospects. Alan Moran
attempts to show that the connection to housing affordability is bizarre; as it is
understood in his work, urban consolidation, or as he prefers, “land rationing” would
obstruct the natural development of domestic housing market sentiment and
reactions (2006). He goes further by asserting that this would systematically
undermine the fiscal incentives for local governments to provide for those seeking to
enter the home-owning market. His argument does carry some weight, especially
17
when one starts to think about the possible repercussions onto lower income groups
in society in terms of housing and rental affordability.
Criticisms aside, having to test and to prove this relationship is not at all an easy
task. This is because the empirical case studies examined throughout the literature
are often subject to a varying range of political, geographic, cultural, social and
economic settings. Where studies have consistently found urban containment
policies contributing to housing price inflation in areas where they are imposed, there
is general disagreement among scholars over the nature of these effects and the
appropriate way to measure them (see Dawkins and Nelson, 2002). As we see, prior
to their study of the Melbourne housing market and its relationship to consolidation
policies, Hans and O’Connor adopted the view that whilst urban consolidation could
be seen as a source of additional supply, it was also a stimulus to demand. (2008).
Despite this and having concluded later that the relationship was more or less valid,
they did stress that the outcome may only hold true in certain areas and that urban
consolidation policies alone are not powerful in explaining the price changes.
In reminding us that urban environments are definitely complex places, Burton’s
findings from her examination of urban consolidation in the UK contends that housing
is more expensive in a compact city. But like Hans and O’Connor after her, she
attributes the trend to other elements. When intervening variables are taken into
account, compactness is not the most important determinant of affordability, the
proportion of more-affluent residents is far more significant; affordability is probably,
therefore, most strongly related to the demand for housing, and the density of
housing in a city is simply a reflection of this demand. (Burton, 2000). Therefore, as
Smyth elaborates, most households will effectively have to have large incomes in
order to be able to afford the house purchases and rents (1999).
Results from these findings are interesting and does provide a unique and rather
provocative perspective of the entire situation. Conclusions from the broad range of
international cases investigated by Dawkins and Nelson helps bring this into
perspective. The effects of urban containment appear to be much more dependent
on the style of policy implementation, the structure of local housing markets, the
18
pattern of existing land ownership, and the stringency of other local regulations
(2002).
Going hand in hand with the issue of affordability, we now shift our focus a little over
to the notion of housing choice and diversity. Advocates of this idea are confronted
with strong evidence in the literature, which have been gathered by deconstructing
down to important contributing factors which may have been overlooked in the first
instance. One example is revealed by Bunker et al. Planning for higher density
housing has been undertaken with little explicit recognition of the housing sub-
markets, who higher density housing caters for or their specific spatial characteristics
within the city (2005). This highlights one important point and that is how urban
consolidation policies, although seen as a means of providing additional supply, can
be disconnected to the demographic profile; which would affect how it relates to the
nature of how people choose. The state of play in the Melbourne and Sydney
housing markets as analysed by Yates is a prime example of this. Where urban
consolidation has been promoted to as a means of greater diversity and choice,
Yates concludes that whilst an increasing number of households have opted for
higher density housing options, they have done so only when constrained by income
in meeting their location and tenure preferences (2007)
The general impression one is left with from the discussions above is that urban
consolidation does seem to instigate affordability problems but at the same time the
reason for a greater range of housing stock. This might seem to increase housing
choice; but in reality it is only increased as much as one’s income permits. All this
appears to result from the potential disregard of urban consolidation in meeting of the
needs and preferences of the population.
The connection between urban consolidation and the provision of infrastructure is
also another prime area of focus. Throughout various conceptual analyses and
empirical studies, the discussions revolve around the issue of whether or not
infrastructure provision in contained urban forms would be more economically
efficient and thus making it the preferential choice over urban sprawl. As it stands,
the current body of work suggests otherwise as we will see.
19
For pro-consolidators, the benefit of the concept is largely based on a higher rate of
infrastructure utilisation. It is argued that, in a compact city, not only are households
in closer proximity to facilities but there are also likely to be a greater number of
facilities per head of population because minimum densities of population are
required for facilities such as retail to be economically viable (see Collie, 1990;
Bromley and Thomas, 1993; Fyfe, 1994). This is all good, but as Hopkins et al
(economies of scale in wastewater treatment) raises the point, do the cost savings
from growth patterns that take advantage of economies of scale in infrastructure,
sufficiently justify the costs of plans, incentives, and regulations necessary to achieve
such patterns?
Searle and in particular Troy, provide critical insights at this point. As seen in their
works, the notion of infrastructure efficiency under urban consolidation seems to be
misguided. Firstly, by inspecting Sydney’s existing infrastructure system, Searle
draws our attention to the potential limits of infrastructure capacity, incorporating
water and drainage, public open space and transport facilities for consolidated areas
(2003). The assertions made regarding the key challenges involving the limited ability
of existing infrastructure to meet demand and the need to repair and replace obsolete
systems suggest that there could be a very significant cost factor involved. Troy’s
critical assessment of urban consolidation in the Australian context substantiates
these ideas by arguing that facilities are already under-provided in the inner areas
and would be even more expensive to provide there than in new outer areas (1996,
pp. 58). Most intriguing and perhaps the most damaging of all, he alerts us to the
erroneous assumptions of pro consolidators regarding infrastructure rollout.
It is very rare development in urban Australia for lots to be so provided with services
or have access to facilities at the outset...Most services and facilities are provided in
a lagged response to demand...It is therefore misleading to imply that the full
provision of services and facilities occurs as lots are developed (Troy 1996, pp. 59)
The debate over urban consolidation and its environmental merits shares the same
controversy. As concerns over energy consumption, resource depletion and
environment deprivation continue, this component contributes a lot to the compact
city justification. The environmental arguments supporting urban consolidation lay
20
claims that compact cities use less fossil fuels, emit less greenhouse gases, enable
more attractive public transport types to be provided, and conserve agricultural and
water catchment areas (Smith, 1997). The benefits described are seen to result from
a combination of compact city features which include shorter travel distances and
greater public transport utilisation. Developments in compact cities are also said to
require less energy for heating and air conditioning, decrease the need for watering
large lawns, have fewer swimming pools, and offer less of chance of contaminating
reservoirs and underground water supplies in the protected open spaces
(Greenberg’s et al, 2001).
However, similar to previous sections, we find that the contention is centred on the
legitimacy of these environmental savings. Again, it is Troy who comes to the
forefront by stating that consolidation initiatives are more likely to result in negative
outcomes.
We see that increasing housing density:
actually decreases our capacity to cope with domestic wastes and our
opportunities for recycling;
reduces our capacity to harvest or otherwise cope with the rainfall on urban
areas and reduce runoff;
makes it harder for urban residents to produce much of their own food;
increases air pollution because it reduces space for growth of trees and
shrubs to purify the air and cool the urban area;
reduces chances of growth of wood for fuel and reduces habitats for birds and
other native fauna;
increases congestion which increases accidents and energy losses.
(1996, pp. 129)
Studies undertaken by Barrett and Breheny are not as critical, but similarly downplay
the perceived environmental benefits. They suggest that the trade-offs required to
achieve these aims would lead to a worse off position and that any savings made
would be minimal (Barrett 1996, Breheny, 1995).

2.5 Summary
This chapter has examined the current body of knowledge relevant to the themes of
this thesis. In doing so, it has explored the concepts, ideas, examples and debates
relating to the processes of urban renewal and consolidation. Specifically it has
highlighted the relationship of government, policy, private industry, the community as
well as the environment.
Urban patterns have been a crucial part in the development of issues and
opportunities. In the context of Sydney, it is vitally important to gain a better
understanding of these processes and how they have shaped current capacities for
growth in Cabramatta.

CHAPTER THREE – HOUSING BACKGROUNG IN CABRAMATTA
23
3. Housing Background in Cabramatta
3.1 Overview
This chapter aims to convey an illustration of the context of housing in Cabramatta.
Initially it will provide a brief review of the history of Sydney’s planning policies and
subsequent growth patterns which took hold. Specifically, it will present examples of
those housing outcomes in Cabramatta which have eventuated as a result of these
initiatives. An analysis of current day issues relating to future housing initiatives will
also be provided thereafter.
3.2 Renewal and Consolidation Experience
Urban housing strategies have had a profound effect on the nature of growth patterns
in Sydney. Like many other observers, tracing the history of its development and the
planning documents which set the direction for growth makes it possible to ascertain
the planning mentality occurring within New South Wales and moreover offers an
insight into the nature of the renewal and consolidation experience concerning
residential developments which came to be in Cabramatta.
In a general sense, housing policy interventions in Australia were triggered by severe
housing shortages and strong population growth (Milligan, Dieleman and Kempen
2006). In the first half of the twentieth century, Sydney’s urban development changed
from the dense built form of the nineteenth century to low density suburban
development, aided by increasing ownership of motor cars (Searle, 2007). Initially
during the period following the Second World War, Meyer describes that
development was shaped by plans within the 1948-1951 County of Cumberland
Scheme which proposed a greenbelt to contain urban growth, with any expansion to
be in satellite towns (2005).
The blueprint for this plan, however, was to face significant challenges as this period
was marked by return of servicemen and a large influx of migrants whom largely sort
housing through the access of cheap and plentiful land which resulted in high rates of
homeownership and relatively how housing costs (Stretton, 1989).Contributions to
24
housing from both the Commonwealth and state government were also pretty
significant during this period, whereby in 1954 government assistance accounted for
some 40% of finance for new housing (Dalton, 1999). Additional housing for New
South Wales during this period was facilitated by the introduction of the
Commonwealth State Housing Agreement (CSHA), a mechanism designed to allow
state governments to buy land and build public rental housing using low-cost loans
for low-income families (Pugh, 1976). This was later revised to provide mortgage
finance for home purchase and sitting tenants were encouraged to buy public
housing under favourable rice and lending conditions (Milligan, 2003). The combined
effect of these domestic affairs resulted in the subsequent growth beyond the
greenbelt, establishing more of a moving boundary to urban expansion which was
revised periodically to accommodate growth through rezoning for urban purposes
and as a result suburban development at this stage was usually in the form of the
separate house on its own block (Beer, 1999 and Bunker 2002).
The development context in this period also propagated through to the logic and
vision of the Sydney Region Outline Plan. As Cardew reveals, growth was expected
to continue unabated and major societal change was not anticipate by planners; and
so the strategy departed from the greenbelt notions of the preceding plan and
concentrated to coordinate development and ensure government infrastructure
investment met the requirements of growth (1998). In general, the concept was for
corridors to be focused on established rail lines radiating from the CBD, in the form of
new towns, each with its own town centre and each with its own industrial areas and
tertiary education campuses (Meyer 2005). The introduction of strata title legislation
supported this as it was designed to help facilitate major expansion of higher density
residential development by allowing the ownership of individual apartments
(Randolph 2006a). Inevitably though, the vision of the plan was stifled due to the
changes in the demography which are traced back to the unexpected falls in the
average household size and the gentrification of inner city suburbs (Kendig, 1979).
Characterised by much of those separate block developments and now
concentrations of higher density developments, the result of the miscalculations had
lead to a significant underutilisation of infrastructure that had been put in place
(Bunker, Holloway and Randolph, 2005).
25
Moving forward, planners later found themselves confronted with further challenges.
For one, the divergence of capital funding from the Commonwealth had planners
meant that planners needed to consider strategies which would primarily reduce
expenditure on infrastructure (Searle 2007). Urban consolidation and redevelopment
of existing urban areas was to be the answer to containing ongoing sprawl of
residential development. Similar to that of Troy, Milligan and others considered more
recently that the up-take of neo-liberal policy reforms helped this transition as it
enabled market-based housing provision which resulted in the New South Wales
Government relying more heavily on private involvement in the planning, financing,
and delivery of large-scale residential development projects (1999 and 2006, also
see Cook & Ruming 2008). Changes to existing policies which allowed medium
density development to take place along with market demand led to the building of
dual occupancy developments and large numbers of three-storey walk-up flats either
as initial development or as part of a redevelopment process (Bunker, Holloway &
Randolph, 2005). This proved to be effective to the cause as subsequent brownfield
developments which took place in the 1990s and early 21st century allowed the State
Government to wind down outer area land releases as 70% of all dwellings were
provided in the established areas but created the impetus for affordability issues
(Meyer, 2005). In Fairfield’s local government area, Randolph and Holloway showed
that multi-unit dwellings outstripped new houses in absolute terms between 1991 and
2001 (2005). A majority of developments in Cabramatta currently still in use today
are an example of those developments (refer to figures 2, 3, 4 and 5). Emphasis to
the state of decline to these buildings should also be noted.

Figure 5 – Housing in Cabramatta (Taing 2009)
28
It is by the same token and together with the more contemporary focus of the New
South Wales Government to tackle housing affordability issues and reposition
Metropolitan Sydney as a competitive global city which has lead to the adoption of
the City of Cities strategic planning document introduced in 2005. Under the strategy,
the urban growth pattern is expected to evolve by converging to support the existing
decentralised footprint with particular emphasis on the development of multiple sub-
centres (NSW Department of Planning, 2005). This approach is considered by
Ingram to be the ideal solution in addressing issues of population growth,
employment and infrastructure provision to name a few (1998) Moreover within this
strategic context, the traditional reliance on new release areas have been largely
discounted whereby 60 and 70 per cent of future development have been proposed
to occur within existing built-up areas and the residual 30 per cent being catered for
in perimeter development zones to the north-west and south-west of the existing
urban area (Jensen, 2006). This is anticipated to be in the form of surrounding
existing infrastructure facilities – namely rail, with high density residential housing
(NSW Department of Planning, 2005).
3.3 Current Implications for Future Housing
The planning and development context explored so far reveals that housing growth
patterns have effectively shifted away from its sprawling tendencies to more of the
practice of consolidation through regeneration. In recent times, the move is seen to
stem from economic growth strategies and the competitive cities rationale. With this
change, it is also noticed that the role of government remained consistently minimal
throughout the course of development. The range of direct and indirect subsidies
developed to support private investment in housing for homeownership has
undoubtedly characterised the nature of contemporary residential land uses across
Sydney (Beer, Kearins & Pieters, 2007).
Given the housing and development context built up so far, future capacity for
renewal and consolidation in Cabramatta, as envisaged by the Metropolitan Strategy
would most likely be a challenging task to accomplish. Unlike circumstances of the
past, the canvas to which development is proposed to take place presents unique
obstacles – the result of many have come about through the accumulative effect of
past regimes. The aerial photographs (figures 6 and 7) demonstrate this; whereby in
29
just over 60 years, the nature of housing development and tenure in Cabramatta is
found to have significantly changed through phases of redevelopment and
consolidation.
Figure 6 – Cabramatta in 1943 (SKM 2007, sourced from the Department of Lands SIX viewer)
30
Figure 7 – Cabramatta in 2008 (SKM 2008, sourced from the Department of Lands SIX viewer) In Cabramatta, the long-running contributions of these features have had a profound
impact shaping the current urban landscape, community and capacities in housing.
Up until this point in time, it is regard that the quality of housing in Cabramatta has
become amongst the poorest in Sydney, consisting a mix of poor quality fibro
housing and street after street of 3-4 story gun-barrel walk-ups whereby the former
exists predominantly in the form of highly fragmented suburban lots and the latter is
identified to be entrenched with issues of multiple ownership and strata titling
(Randolph, 2008 and Easthope & Randolph, 2009).
A comparison of Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) census data collected in 2001
and 2006 has also revealed that the number of those dwellings that are occupied
have experienced a downward trend across all categories with the only increase
occurring in separate homes (see figure 8). Whilst the timeframe taken for
comparison may be limited, this data does indicate that market-based solutions to
renewal and consolidation which is unlikely be effective this time round. This comes
31
especially when the majority of local residential developments have been somewhat
stagnate in terms of providing a broad range and higher densities. The result of the
local development audit has revealed residential development related applications
make up for up to 45% of all applications approved the last 9 month period. This
component is comprised predominantly of developments for double storey detached
dwellings (41%) and alterations and additions to existing dwellings (34%) (see figures
9, 10 and Appendix A).
Together with fact that the area has become home to many of the migrant
populations as well as many of the disadvantaged located by way of low income
private rental housing tenures, the current situation seemingly demands more
innovation in strategy and implementation mechanisms to carry future housing
through – which so far none has been devised as yet (Bunker et al 2005a, Sherry,
2006)

3.3 Summary
Since post Second World War, urban policies have unequivocally shaped the
development of housing characteristics throughout the city and in particular in those
areas around Cabramatta; the result of which has offered valuable insight to the
planning mentality of the state towards housing provision. Critical to this, is the
understanding the nature of those mechanisms which have been put in place and the
outcomes produced as a result. For one, it is clear to see that the minimal role of
33
government in directly supplying housing in New South Wales has played a major
part in explaining the constant shortage of household numbers available to meet
demand and the creation of various sub-markets. In Cabramatta and areas alike,
Bunker, Holloway and Randolph have identified that this has been characterised by
financially and socially distressed households (2005a).
In more recent times, it was found that the majority of local residential developments
are in the form of low density tenures. This comes with both positive and potentially
negative implications affecting the future prospects of housing affordability, potential
for displacement and continued physical distress. In light of this, future housing must
be re-addressed with alternative policy approaches designed to better respond to
existing building and environmental constraints as well as those social changes and
issues which have developed as a result of the past.

CHAPTER FOUR – RESEARCH APPROACH
35
4. Research Approach
4.1 Overview
The purpose of this chapter is to detail the primary research approach and methods
that were designed to address the problem statement. As well as providing details of
local developers whom were interviewed and explaining the significance of their
involvement, this section follows by examining the research topics explored and
limitations involved.
4.2 Research Methodology
Qualitative research is concerned with exploring the understandings and meanings
that people attribute to their social world (Walter, 2006, pp. 11). Case studies would
bring a range of factors into a common analysis, but perhaps more importantly, the
depth of understanding they offer is increasingly seen as critical in analysing wider
socio-political processes (Yin, 1986 sourced in Jones & Evans, 2006)
As such, a qualitative approach was designed to investigate the problem statement.
This involved conducting a series of in-depth face-to-face interviews with local
developers to access their perspective and experiences with local development
projects. Walter (2006, pp. 205) considers that this approach would be the best
means of acquiring quality data. The research approach continues by providing a
thematic analysis of the responses gathered.
Local developers were considered preferable candidates for the research task
because of their experience and connections to the area. They are the also the group
of people most likely to play a major part in renewal and consolidation processes into
the future.
4.2.1 Interviewees
The research project was implemented over a 1 month period following an initial
selection process for potential candidates. The criteria were based on two conditions.
Firstly, they had to have undertaken a housing project within or around the vicinity of
36
Cabramatta. To ensure that each case was carefully selected as a way of capturing a
key quality of interest to the research (Walter, 2006, pp. 283); the second
qualification limited the selection process to two per residential development
category.
The potential candidates were sourced in a variety of ways. Information from local
development applications, real estate agents and sourcing local housing providers
had generated a list of 8 potential candidates. Requests for interview sessions were
made out via email and subsequently followed up with phone calls. Of the 8 potential
candidates, 6 had responded and 2 were omitted from the process because there
was no reply. Of those candidates whom had responded, 5 had agreed to an
interview whilst the remaining 1 had declined to take part. The following table
identifies the profiles of the 5 participating interviewees.
Participant Profile Interview
Detail Mrs Tieu Nghi
Maung
Mrs Maung had been residing in the local
area since first arriving to Australia some
20 years ago. Because of this, she has
developed a strong relationship with the
area and is familiar with the local
community. She is currently employed on a
full-time basis in the city and lives with her
husband in Burwood.
13 Sept 2009
Mr Wilson Chang Mr Chang arrived in Australia some 25
years ago and settled within the local area.
He has since changed residences twice
within the locality. Mr Chang is married with
children and runs a small courier business
catering predominantly for deliveries in the
western suburbs.
12 Sept 2009
Mr Thi Lim Mr Lim and his family arrived and settle in
the local area in 1970. His father had
established a successful restaurant

Participant Profile Interview Detail
business which is currently in operation
today. As such, Mr Lim takes part in
overseeing the running of the business
now and again. He was once employed as
a local real estate agent, but is now
involved in the insulation business. Having
moved out of the family home in Cecil Hills,
Mr Lim currently resides in Cabramatta.
Cliff La Mr La was born in Australia, son to migrant
parents. Currently residing just outside
Cabramatta in the suburb of Canley
Heights, he is employed as a business
banker for a major bank.
3 Sept 2009
Local Developer X
(Identification
Withheld)
Developer X migrated and settled into the
local area with his family. Most members of
the family including Developer X got into
various types of businesses ranging from
groceries to finance to construction. Since
moving out of the original family home, all
members of the family have sort newer
residencies in and around Cabramatta.
Currently, Developer X is semi-retired and
is involved in the building industry.
31 Aug 2009
The inclusion of Mrs Maung and Mr Chang were necessary for forming perspectives
and opinions from local developers engaged in small scale residential renewal and
consolidation projects in the area. In Mrs Maung’s case, she undertook a residential
redevelopment project for investment purposes. The project required the demolition
of an existing fibro house and the erection of a two storey duplex. Her property is
located just outside the northern boundary of Cabramatta in the suburb of Canley
Heights. Similarly, Mr Chang has also undertaken a residential redevelopment project
38
incorporating the erection of another duplex development for living and investment
purposes.
The choice to select Mr Thi Lim as a participant for the research task was based on
the need to represent the opinions of owner occupiers whom engage in projects
resulting primarily in renewed residential outcomes only. In Mr. Lim’s case, he had
redeveloped his previous single storey brick home to a new double storey dwelling.
Cases like Mr Lim’s are prominent in Cabramatta and therefore are of a particular
interest to the research task. Mr Lim intends to engage in a potential duplex project
within the near future.
Cliff La is also an owner occupier. The residential project undertaken with his brother,
involved refurbishment works to his existing double storey brick dwelling, the
subdivision of land and the construction of a new double storey dwelling on the
resulting new lot. The creation of an easement running away from the street and into
the lot provides access to the newly erected dwelling.
On the condition that their identification be withheld, securing the interview with
Developer X was also very crucial in providing a representation for local townhouse
development in the area. Developer X was involved in a family consortium which
spearheaded a residential housing project. Specific project works included the need
for site amalgamation and the construction of a new multi-unit townhouse
development. The development lies just east of Cabramatta in the suburb of Canley
Vale.
The unfortunate decline from the owner of the block of units at 77 Hill Street has
meant that the research task has been limited in providing insights for a broader
range of residential development categories. Recent redevelopment works
undertaken at the block of units incorporated facade upgrades, landscaping, whole of
building re-wiring and re-plumbing, and associated security upgrades. If the interview
had been accepted, this case would have greatly contributed to the research task as
it makes for a good insight into addressing the issues affecting older style unit blocks
and townhouse developments in the area. As such, this has created some potential
scope for future studies to investigate.
39
Figure 11 – 77 Hill Street (Taing 2009)
4.3 Interview Questions
The focus of questions designed for the interview process was aimed at drawing out
how local developers thought and interpreted what they have done. This would allow
them to explain a great deal about how and why they did what they did (Walter, 2006
pp. 35). Following the likes of Brenner et al semi-structured interviews were used to
capture formal and informal aspects of the respective projects and to allow flexibility
in accordance with the varying time-constraints of different interviewees (1985 cited
in Jones and Evans 2005). Approximately 20–30 minutes were used to focus upon
standard areas of focus concerning the project, followed by a relatively unstructured
discussion of variable length used to explore opinions and less formal aspects of
projects and interviewee’s involvement (Jones & Evans, 2005). Probing questions
were also used intermittently throughout the interviews to help expand on certain
areas of interest.
40
Generally, the interview questions were guided by covering the following broad topic
areas.
Motivations of the project
Contingencies of the project/risks
Benefits of the project
Project management
Site assembly and strata issues
Feasibility
What would they have done differently?
Perspectives on current development policies
4.4 Research Limitations
The adopted research approach encountered certain limitations and constraints
which would have affected the outcomes of the investigation. On the point of scale,
the number of interviewees whom were willing to participate in the process limited the
scope of perspectives and opinions that could be retrieved. The ability of the
research task to investigate the larger housing development located at 77 Hill Street
was hindered by the decision of its respective owners not to participate. In effect,
these two elements have restricted the capacity of the research task to demonstrate
a more comprehensive representation of residential development categories and
opinions from local developers in the area.
Whilst in-depth interviews are an ideal way for researching people with busy
lifestyles, it also provides an avenue for investigating personal, sensitive and
confidential information. As such, it should be made aware that there may be areas
of purposeful distortion in the responses obtained.
As the research study could have benefited additionally from a more comprehensive
sample size and access to additional facilities of verification and cross-checking, the
result of the in-depth interviews did provide the chance to concentrate on the
respondents’ individual experiences and understand the lessons they offer. Overall,
41
the research approach was successful in obtaining sufficient and valuable
information from local developers.
4.5 Summary
The primary research approach and methods as discussed in the above sections
were successful in gathering the necessary information from local developers within
and around the Cabramatta area. Despite some initial setbacks and as a result of the
interview process, a range of perspectives were obtained for several categories of
residential developments. Despite the reluctance from local developers whom had
declined to take part, the general response from those who participated was very
forthcoming.
42
CHAPTER FIVE – RESEARCH FINDINGS
43
5. Research Findings
5.1 Overview
The purpose of this chapter is to document the findings gathered from the interviews.
The feedback collected from local developers has been presented under the context
of specific themes deemed relevant to the focus of this paper.
5.2 Themes
The findings derived from local developer interviews are presented below. To help
with data analysis, information relevant to purpose of this thesis has been structured
using a thematic type approach. These themes have been adopted as it provide an
ideal means of increasing the understanding of local developer experiences by
drawing critical connections to the current issues and highlight possible areas for
policy change.
The themes relating to profits and security, local ties, financing, development
approvals, market response and future development have been selected as they
effectively convey experiences relating to local developer motivations, project risks
encountered, development approach, construction and planning issues as well as
cost factors involved.
5.2.1 Profits and Security
Not surprisingly, profitability and the sense of enjoying ownership of a stable asset
were the major precursors for local developers to have become involved in property
development. Generally, they regard it to be a pretty straight forward and relatively
safe process which can return a sizable profit. Thi Lim in particular highlights this
point of view in stating that “despite some nervous times, building to make money is
quite often fun and exciting” (2009). Compared to other investments, of which he has
little knowledge of and is uncomfortable with due to the increased volatility, he finds
that “on top of increasing capital returns and ability to attract rent”...the tax
advantages are also pretty good” for property developers (T Lim 2009, pers. comm.,
44
28 Aug). “For people in the same situation, this is a great incentive to get developing”
(T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug).
The sense of security which property development brings to the local developers is
also expressed through in their remarks. Cliff La for one makes this perfectly clear by
stating that for him “it’s a good way of making money and benefiting from the added
security of this type of investment, it’s a good feeling knowing that you are holding
onto property” (2009). Wilson Chang also mimics this same belief, stating that his
decision to build the duplex allowed him “to obtain a good quality home to live in
whilst making money next door” (2009,). He adds, “the arrangement for the building
project has been convenient and at the end of the day, I can sleep easier at night
knowing that I can be on top of any problems which may occur” (W Chang 2009,
pers. comm., 12 Sept). Tieu Maung further reinforces these views by alerting to us
that other than the long term capital gains which she considers as the main
drawcard, getting into property has “granted the benefits of receiving a passive
stream of income in the form of rent” whilst her and her husband are away working
(2009). In addition to this, she regards it as a means of “safeguarding the future for
the life they want to live” (T N Maung 2009, pers. comm., 13 Sept).
5.2.2 Local Ties
Local developers revealed that their familiarity with the area had more or less shaped
their decision to undertake their respective projects in and around Cabramatta. For
some, this extended to the familiarity with council processes and connections to local
businesses. Consequently, local developers generally pointed out that this has in part
influenced their decision to build their projects within the locality as opposed to other
places. Tieu Maung’s illustrates this point of view in stating that “having lived in the
area for most of my life and... together with investment advice and guidance from her
family members”; she considers that it was “only of natural to seek development
opportunities within the area” (T N Maung 2009, pers. comm., 13 Sept).
Failing to adequately enter into a housing project in Epping and parts of the Inner
West, Cliff La stated that the locational choice for his development eventually turned
to “focus on opportunities within the local area” (2009). This was in part due to the
fact that he “knew it would be significantly cheaper to enter the market and also
45
because of the growth potential”, adding that “the availability of larger lots in the area
had specifically appealed to this decision as well” (C La 2009, pers. comm., 3 Sept).
Thi Lim attributes his past experience as a local real estate agent as one of the key
motivators for his decision to locate in Cabramatta (2009). He is quoted in saying
“that because of my experience in knowing what to expect from the market place and
with various connections to local lawyers, other real estate agents and developers
built up over the years, it was a logical choice to have undertaken the project here” (T
Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug). In addition to this, he admits that the development
would allow him to “have a quality home that is located close to family, friends and
work” (T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug).
Like Thi Lim, the case for Wilson Chang and Developer X also relates to their family
commitments and connections in the local area. As Wilson Change puts it, “I don’t
really have any interest in other places, my job is based here, my children go to
school here, and I enjoy the community and the shopping as well” (W Chang 2009,
pers. comm., 12 Sept). Developer X mentions that because his family members had
also undertaken separate projects in the area “it just seemed like the obvious location
to undertake the project” having admitted to “have always thought and aspired to the
development prospects for land in this area” (2009). In addition to this, he believes
that his "knowledge about the construction industry coupled with his brothers’ and in-
laws’ experience and association to local businesses...had benefited the whole
project and added that “it would have been a bit more difficult to built the project
anywhere else” (Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug). It is learnt that Developer
X is also well versed in the local council’s processes and has a very familiar
understanding of their expectations regarding housing development for the area
(2009). This in turn placed him in a predisposed position to conduct his activities
within the area.
5.2.3 Financing
Financing was a very important point of discussion amongst the local developers.
Most financing was found to be sourced from the banks with the remaining proportion
of private funds put together in various ways. The latter is found to reflect the nature
in how the development project was carried out. What can be said is that the local
46
developers were found to be in financially sound positions prior to undertaking their
projects. We find from the responses that most of the loans were serviced by a
secondary source, being either a job, support from another partner or an outside
business. Generally, the financial state of the projects encountered little or no
complications with all avoiding any potential on defaulting.
Wilson Chang provides an insight into his financial situation to help understand this
better; as in his development he “was matched to a mortgage facility designed for the
particular situation” whereby the private proportion of credit came in the form of
“savings and personal assets” held (2009). He states that this was because he had
“been taught to save as much cash as possible before any consideration of an
investment can be made” (W Chang 2009, pers. comm., 12 Sept). In his experience,
“when you are able to get into that position, more people are willing to deal with you
and you can get things done generally more effectively; it can be frustrating and slow
but it is worth it; in the end I am able to enjoy reasonable repayments because of this
strategy” (W Chang 2009, pers. comm., 12 Sept).
Cliff La’s residential development undertaking was only made possible by forming a
partnership with his brother (2009). He mentions that on his own, “it would have been
a lot harder to source finance from the banks to help fund the project and also
benefited from halving any of the projects risks” (C La 2009, pers. comm., 3 Sept).
This also mentions that the “burden of repayments was also softened” (C La 2009,
pers. comm., 3 Sept). Currently, he indicates, “the loan is still being paid off with
parts of their income and rent received from the new house” (C La 2009, pers.
comm., 3 Sept). “Generally because the cost for that particular project was relatively
high, there will be a period of consolidation to existing funds before other projects in
the pipeline can be commenced” (C La 2009, pers. comm., 3 Sept).
For Thi Lim and his knock-down rebuild project, he states that “having the family
business definitely helped create an added advantage to access finance for the
project” (2009). He asserts that having “the extra backing of a job and the restaurant
has eased the strain on the repayments...providing the extra flexibility of including
more features for the house” (T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug). He also
acknowledges that his position is more privileged than others and admits that “the
47
project would not have likely to have been started if that had not been the case” (T
Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug).
Tieu Maung disclosed that financing for her duplex development came in the form of
the “first home owners grant together with combined savings” from both her and her
husband (2009). She mentioned that “the bank also took into consideration income
levels and was eventually convinced to help finance the project” (T N Maung 2009,
pers. comm., 13 Sept). Before the project began, they “stayed in the house for six
months to satisfy requirements for the first home owners grant and continued on with
the commencement of the project” (T N Maung 2009, pers. comm., 13 Sept). They
subsequently managed to sell one side whilst holding on to the other as a rental
property (T N Maung 2009, pers. comm., 13 Sept). This strategy has “helped free up
much needed capital and eased some of the financial strains” they were experiencing
at the time (T N Maung 2009, pers. comm., 13 Sept).
Developer X helps provide some further insight for development financing for higher
density projects. He indicates that “prior to the townhouse development he had been
buying property independently for some time” and that the townhouse development
came about “by getting into a consortium with my brothers” whom also were heavily
invested into other property themselves (Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug).
Developer X sees this as a really crucial factor for the development as it meant that
they “could muster a significant sum of cash together and use the combined personal
assets as a further guarantee to financiers” (2009). He advises that this provided an
effective way to gain leverage and get into property development; “I don’t think the
project would have happened without this” (Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug).
By the same token, he considers it to be “highly risky and dangerous” explaining that
he had no protection on his personal assets (Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31
Aug).
Developer X had indicated that finance was a very delicate stage in “which everyone
needed to know what they were going to get out of project” (2009). He admits “it was
tricky working alongside family members as many things can go out of hand”
(Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug). In this particular stage, the process was
carried on with extra diligence taking “approximately five months for the financing
48
agreements to be finalised” (Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug). “The loan was
serviced with personal incomes and investment vehicles from all parties during the
entire process...upon the eventual sale of all the units in the townhouse development
was paid off in full” (Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug).
5.2.4 Development and Approvals Process
There were also various approaches to the development process and approvals
application undertaken for each local development project. In part, the differences in
these approaches are seemingly reflective of the experience of each local developer.
More importantly, it reveals particular practices which may prove crucial to the
successful rollout of future housing developments in the area.
For both the duplex developments, Tieu Maung and Wilson Chang indicated that
they both purchased different home packages as advertised by some building
companies (2009). Having already purchased the land, Tieu Maung describes that
they “engaged Masterton homes for their duplex development, to be responsible for
all parts of the development and approvals work” (2009). After having picked out their
design, fittings and materials, she mentioned that the company proceeded with
submitting the relevant subdivision plans, development application
lodgement...construction and landscaping of the dwelling (T N Maung 2009, pers.
comm., 13 Sept). In hindsight, Tieu Maung believes that “although the company had
got the job done and provided assistance throughout most stages of
development...the end cost of the whole project worked out to be quite expensive
and the quality of the workmanship did not live up to the imagination” (2009). Upon
post construction inspections, she had “found many defects and imperfection with
materials and detail in the work” (T N Maung 2009, pers. comm., 13 Sept). Tieu
Maung stressed that perhaps the most difficult part of the project entailed “seeking
agreements with neighbouring properties for the creation of a drainage easement” of
which she and her husband pursued themselves; this was in addition to the fact that
“the whole project was significantly long...lasting approximately about two years to
complete” (2009).
In contrast, Wilson Chang had engaged Lily Homes for his duplex development
(2009). Like the case of Tieu Maung, the whole project was predominately delivered
49
by the company. He recounts that it was a ‘smooth and easy process with the
company providing guidance through the approvals and building phases” (W Chang
2009, pers. comm., 12 Sept). In terms of pricing, he agreed that he had spent more
than he initially wanted to, “having added many extras...partly due to slight delays”,
but was satisfied with the product delivered (W Chang 2009, pers. comm., 12 Sept).
Unlike Tieu Maung, Wilson noted that the project took approximately sixteen months
to complete (W Chang 2009, pers. comm., 12 Sept).
Other owner occupiers had decided to proceed with other approaches. Cliff La had
revealed that he was “not in charge of the development and approvals process”
(2009). Previous arrangements meant “that the tasks were overseen by a project
manager”; commissioned by his brother to assume the majority of responsibilities for
the entire project (C La 2009, pers. comm., 3 Sept). Unlike Masterton and Lily
Homes, the project manager was “briefed on the design outcomes as well as the
budget”. The project manager proceeded to undertake the project by “selecting and
contracting the architect, planners and builders suitable for the project” (C La 2009,
pers. comm., 3 Sept). Stages vital to the development were noted down as “the
subdivision of land, creation of an easement to access new lot located towards the
back...and the design and planning approvals for both the existing and new houses”
whereby the respective tasks were delegated to the responsible contractors (C La
2009, pers. comm., 3 Sept). With regular briefings for each stage, Cliff and his
brother were “kept updated with the progress of the project and any potential
setbacks” which may have occurred (C La 2009, pers. comm., 3 Sept). He
acknowledges that he was “disappointed in settling with the subdivision pattern”,
which was initially “meant to be subdivided into three other separate lots not two”, the
final design was reached on the basis of council recommendations (C La 2009, pers.
comm., 3 Sept). Despite this, he felt that the whole process was a relative success (C
La 2009, pers. comm., 3 Sept).
For Thi Lim and townhouse builder Developer X, the outfit used for their development
and approvals process also varied slightly to other local developers. Thi Lim
personally drove the project himself primarily “to ensure control of all elements of the
redevelopment and save on costs” (T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug). The tasks he
oversaw included the “costing, design, planning and construction...contracting out
50
tasks to individuals and local companies” (T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug). He
regards the whole process to be generally successful, attributing it to the “skills and
cooperation from each member of the team and because it was relatively small scale
by nature” (T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug). Outcomes in the design and planning
phases were characterised by council’s concerns about the built form of the
development and “how it did not relate to the designs of existing dwellings around the
land” (T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug). Revisions to the design ensured that the
development was approved (T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug).
For Developer X and his consortium, after having reached initial agreements
between parties involved, “the project continued to investigate potential sites capable
of supporting a townhouse development” (2009) . Consequently, they were able to
piece together “three pieces of land adjoining one another to create a total area of
approximately 1800 square metres” (Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug). They
proceeded on to the design and planning phases whereby initial designs were found
to be not entirely satisfactory and were subsequently revised and worked through
with council officers (Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug). Developer X outlines
that “the main issue was related to the prescribed floor space ratios” in which he and
his team had proposed a design solution which made way for a slight increase
(2009). The problem was eventually settled with changes to the developments layout
and design, effectively meeting the council’s floor space requirements (Developer X
2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug). In terms of construction, Developer X notes that they
were “able to save a significant amount of money because the project was able to
source materials and labour directly through personal work” (2009). In total the
project task lasted for just over 20 months to complete from inception right through to
delivering the units to the market (Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug).
5.2.5 Market Response
Generally, market responses to local developer projects were said to be well
received. A general comparison of sales and rental outcomes of each particular
project does highlight some areas of contrast and may be useful in providing an
indication of the local market trends and capacity.
51
Cliff La stated that although there was a good level of interest for the new dwelling,
many potential buyers were concerned with the fact that it was situated towards to
back of the existing dwelling away from the street (2009). As a result of this and the
timing of placement onto the market, “there were few serious buyers... the offer
prices were below what was expected” and hence below what they were willing to
accept (C La 2009, pers. comm., 3 Sept). In turn, they “decided to rent out the
property instead... focusing on a sale later down the track (C La 2009, pers. comm., 3
Sept).
Tieu Maung notes that the sale and rental of the duplex development was well
received when put to the market, having pointed out that a buyer and a rental tenant
was “found within two and a half months from the time of listing” whereby “the sale of
one half of the duplex fell just below initial expectations” (2009). She estimates that in
hypothetical case of having to sell the other side, she would have achieved a
comfortable profit (T N Maung 2009, pers. comm., 13 Sept). For now, her “strategy is
to hold onto the remaining property of which is collecting above market rent” (T N
Maung 2009, pers. comm., 13 Sept).
Similar to Tieu Maung, Wilson Chang indicates that whilst he has been living on one
side of his duplex, he is “renting the other side out at an above market rate” (2009).
He justifies this rate by saying that “it is a new development with new facilities and
better environment” (W Chang 2009, pers. comm., 12 Sept). He believes that people
whom “are looking for a good quality home should be willing to pay a premium”,
simplifying later on that “it just makes financial and commercial sense” (W Chang
2009, pers. comm., 12 Sept). He also indicates that the rental listing was well
received, “taking approximately a month to place a tenant within the property” ((W
Chang 2009, pers. comm., 12 Sept).
Thi Lim points out that if he had the intention of selling his property, he would have
opted to “developed either a duplex or triplex development” (2009). He says that
“although most would fancy living in his house, it is too expensive for most people in
this area to consider purchasing” (T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug). He adds that
“the redeveloped property would only attract people with large families which make
up a small proportion of the local residential market” (T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28
52
Aug). From his real estate experience, he considers that “developers should pursue
medium density housing...from duplex through to townhouse developments...this
would be more appropriate for the local market and be easier to sell” (T Lim 2009,
pers. comm., 28 Aug). Developers whom “focus on apartment type living would face
high levels of risk and failure to appeal to the market in terms of pricing” (T Lim 2009,
pers. comm., 28 Aug). He believes that the ultimate solution for apartments would
need to entail “a successful combination of reasonable apartment prices, profits to
the developer and excellent building quality” (T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug).
From his point of view, “this would fill the gap in the market but would very difficult to
deliver” (T Lim 2009, pers. comm., 28 Aug).
In Developer X’s circumstances, prior to completion of the project, their marketing
campaign involved “selling the properties off the plan to reduce the burden on
borrowed costs and risk” (2009). They “managed to sell the majority of the
townhouse units and experienced minor delays for the sale of 3 remaining units”.
Despite this and “having revised the unit prices... were able to sell the units over an
additional two and a half months” (Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug). As the
project was Developer X’s first major housing development, he “believes the returns
made overall were fair...satisfied with the overall outcomes” (Developer X 2009, pers.
comm., 31 Aug). From the overall response, he considers that the successes they
were able to create from the project came in the form of “delivering the type of
housing people want to live in” (Developer X 2009, pers. comm., 31 Aug).
5.2.6 Future of Development
Although unsure about any potential future projects which they may roll out, the local
developers were optimistic about the future development for the area. Their
perceptions were founded generally on the basis of the changes they believe are
taking place in the area, their recent experiences and the redevelopment capabilities
of available land stocks.
Both Wilson Chang and Tieu Maung consider that the ambitions of the local people
and in particular, young couples wanting to take advantage of government grants,
together with the relatively lower price of real estate will produce continued demand
for home ownership in this area (2009). “The area provides the ideal conditions for
53
families to realise their dreams of living in a new and spacious home and for others to
get into the market” (Maung, 2009). Discounting locational factors such as exclusivity
and travel, “other places are just simply too expensive and not worth the money to
live in; for the average price of an apartment or terrace close to the city, you can buy
a decent sized house with much more space” (Chang, 2009). Wilson Chang adds
that this alone will make the place attractive for most people into the future (2009).
Cliff La, whom has noticed over the years a gradual increase in newer home
developments, believes “that people will eventually realise and take advantage of the
fact that the area has great opportunities for growth and improvement” (2009). Whilst
the area in general may not be as appealing to live in as opposed to other more
favourable parts in Sydney, future developments have much to benefit from the
existing rail facilities, commercial districts, open space and other public, private
services (C La 2009, pers. comm., 3 Sept). Cliff also believes that “there are great
opportunities to capitalise on run down fibro houses and walk up buildings...for walk
up buildings in particular, it makes sense to renovate and provide additional levels to
these buildings; the catch being to persuade council to change the planning
provisions and making sure that it is viable” (La, 2009).
In the views of Thi Lim and Developer X, the current capacity of land is under-utilised
and presents many opportunities for redevelopment (2009). Thi Lim speculates that
many people like him will continue to invest and build newer houses in the area
because it is very straight forward and accessible market (T Lim 2009, pers. comm.,
28 Aug). Developer X regards that the prospect of larger scale property projects
occurring into the future remains very promising and will be very beneficial for the
local area but imagines that the task would be very difficult to undertake (2009). From
experience, it is perceived that “the biggest barriers include raising enough funds for
the project, getting the cooperation of council to change planning
provisions...including increases floor space ratios and zoning” and “finding the ideal
location to build” (Developer X, 2009).
5.3 Summary
The results of this chapter have revealed detailed accounts of local developer
experiences in Cabramatta. Largely as a result of their circumstances, local
developers have been able to find capitalise in local development opportunities, often
54
through an orderly styles of approach. By their accounts, we see certain areas of
strengths and weaknesses, information which would greatly assist in determining
how policy intervention can better instigate larger scale renewal and consolidation in
the area.
The following chapter will provide an in-depth discussion of these findings in relation
to current issues as raised in Chapters 2 and 3 as well as providing
recommendations regarding future policy interventions.
55
CHAPTER SIX – RESEARCH EVALUATION
56
6. Research Evaluation
6.1 Overview
The research evaluation will attempt to interpret these findings in relation to the key
issues which have emerged as a result of the literature review and housing
background in Cabramatta. It will subsequently provide recommendations for the
development of best practice initiatives concerning the future of urban renewal and
consolidation in area.
6.2 Evaluation of Findings
Findings from the interviews have provided an in-depth understanding of the intricate
details pertaining to key themes emerging from local developer activities in the area.
For a start, it can be said that the neoliberal policies to housing has been an effective
tool in encouraging local developers to partake in providing new and additional
supplies of dwellings to the area – doing justice to those who have advanced the
benefits of urban entrepreneurism.
In the first instance, it is clear that current arrangements for local development
provide local developers opportunities to gain profit as well as to increase their
personal security. Although they were not prepared to reveal figures relating to this,
judging from the information provided and based on their future aspirations, it is fair
to say that these projects do offer a return great enough to make these project
undertakings worth it. In a way, this does dispel some of the allegations that housing
renewal and consolidation related projects for the area not feasible. This might
however, be the case for professional practices which leads one to think that perhaps
incorporating larger developers into the picture for long term renewal and
consolidation may not be the ideal solution; given the high margins and fees they
impose onto development projects.
In addition to this, it was also found that local developers have sought to a variety of
approaches for their projects. In most cases, their experience has shown that many
of the approaches were relatively straight forward and was done with relatively little
57
complications. This was further enhanced as it was made aware that all had in some
way leveraged the skills and resources of other parties in the local area. This ranged
from accessing services of professional builders, local businesses and utilising family
ties. It can be said that because of this feature, local development projects are
instilled with a high degree of flexibility and options which suit local developer
circumstances – an element which corporate bodies don’t have due to those policies
and bureaucratic structures that have been put in place effectively slowing them
down.
In a more critical sense, such features have been important attribute to the very
reason which has enabled low density developments, similar to those belonging to
the local developers interviewed, to take place in Cabramatta. Certainly, with the
current housing stock and lot configurations and infrastructure capacity this is would
be the obvious task to undertake as opposed for large scale higher density projects -
which carries a great deal of intricacy in negotiations, deal making and risk .The
combined effect of all this is confirmed with the fact that the majority of local
residential projects have been in the form of low density developments as was
revealed in findings derived from the local development audit included in Chapter 3.
Whilst they do not represent the ideal solution to densification outcomes, new
developments have generally contributed positively to the urban landscape and
building performance. This has been beneficial in terms of improving the liveability to
suit contemporary lifestyles as well as improving quality of the urban environment as
a whole. At this stage, housing and rental affordability have not been too much of an
issue as local developer experiences indicated that they are meeting current market
capacity.
Circumstantially though, in view of growing concerns relating to affordability, growth
and the deteriorating state of housing, current local developments may be a of
additional impetus for future development issues. Where there are already limited
capacities for high density developments to take place, by development pace and
land opportunities, it seems that the long term consequences of these low density
projects may further impact larger scale renewal and consolidation prospects by way
of complicating the processes of site assembly, escalate the price of land and hence
58
affect any profitability of housing projects, increase resource consumption by way of
destroying good quality developments and most importantly render high density
developments incompatible with those land uses.
Consequently, it is by the absence of detailed policy, effective governance structures
and public funding then that Ruming and others consider to current ad hoc style of
development will not effectively satisfy the broader social, economic and
environmental concerns (2007). In light of this, it is logical then to introduce direct
forms of government intervention to address the renewal and consolidation problems
in Cabramatta. For local developers this would produce more positive outcomes in
terms of realising greater development outcomes and profits. Whilst it would be a
source of increased competition, it would provide greater incentives for them to
continue developing within the area.
6.3 Best Practice Recommendations
The findings obtained from local developers have provided some ideas in forming
best practice solutions which can better address urban renewal and consolidation
issues in Cabramatta. Because the state and the local governments would most
likely be responsible for initiating such an approach, these ideas pay particular focus
to their roles as well as their interactions with other private entities.
The first of these ideas looks to the prospect of incorporating public-private
partnerships as an alternative solution to current development practices. This is a
crucial concept for housing development in Cabramatta as experiences in the US
have found, such partnerships have lead to improved coordination of resources as
well as policy outcomes (Nye & Glickman 2000, p 194-197). Establishing public-
private partnerships for future building developments would offer greater
opportunities for housing renewal and development to overcome existing
impediments and concerns as examined throughout the literature. As Bratt has
identified, such partnerships may be modelled of combinations incorporating the
participation of the public sector through local housing authorities, the private for-
profit sector, and non-profit organisations (2008). In the context of Cabramatta, this
would likely require the participation from bodies such as the Department of Housing,
Department of Planning, Fairfield City Council, various building groups and local
59
community co-operatives to name a few. The challenge this however, is to be as
clear as possible about how each type of developer can best play a role that would
lead to fruitful and mutually beneficial collaborations or partnerships (Bratt 2008).
As it stands, current arrangements are primarily one dimensional, mainly carried out
by many small scale developers for purposes of profit and security and are not
conducive in meeting effective long term housing needs and objectives for the area.
Partnership arrangements would ultimately create a better set up for parties to
negotiate, benefit from increased capabilities to draw from each other’s strengths and
at the same time counter their own weaknesses. As found in local developer
responses, the features which serve to justify and benefit local projects include
having connections to established business and building networks as well as an
understanding of community viewpoints. Arranging public-private partnerships would
allow the state and local government to gain access and benefit from these key
strengths, not to mention other experiences and skill sets in particular areas of the
development phase. In Developer X’s case for example, this might result in gaining
better knowledge of site assembly for the benefit of new larger scale projects. Other
potential scenarios for collaboration may also look to combine the existing design
and construction synergies of home builders such as Masterton and Lily Homes, as
commissioned by Tieu Maung and Wilson Chang. These bodies can offer efficient
access to a network of builders, materials sourcing, and expertise in design,
engineering and construction
In turn, what this means for interested development bodies, either professional or
local, is that they would gain vital support in areas which they may not be as efficient.
This may include improved guidance and efficient engagement to the planning
system and related processes. Risks to developers may also be reduced. In terms of
property acquisition and initial cash outlay, there is capacity for the state and local
government to supply, in exchange for low income housing, local land stocks which
may be available in their holdings or perhaps through compulsory acquisition powers.
As opposed to individual developers whom may undertake large scale projects on
alternative land located away from commercial zones, major road, rail and other
infrastructure facilities, such avenues of approach would provide better convenience
to the community and present more sustainable development through redeveloping
60
existing housing stocks and in particular of those notorious 3-4 storey walk up flat
buildings that are characteristic of the area. Together, these arrangements may also
result in significant cost savings incurred throughout the course of a project.
The notion of embracing public-private partnerships leads us to the second idea for
improving renewal and consolidation prospects for the local area– that is to create
greater funding options available to development entities. As we have learned from
local developer responses, financing for their respective projects was largely
obtained by leveraging off personal assets and income streams. This confirms the
broader trend that private-sector funding has been a dominant source of urban
regeneration finance with equity, provided by the developer, and debt being the
principal methods (Adair et al, 2003). Such financial arrangements have so far been
adequate in producing developments generally no greater than medium density type
housing and would prove very challenging and risky for developers wanting to
undertake anything greater. Even for Thi Lim and Developer X, who have relatively
strong financial capacities and are well equipped in undertaking medium sized
projects themselves, would experience difficulties in raising the required finance for
larger scale projects if they had intended to.
The solution is to improve what Begg terms as the “investability” of cities (2002), or
taken in this case to be Cabramatta. The state and local government should create,
in addition to available benefits, greater options for funding to generate bigger
incentives for developers to undertake such projects. As experiences in the UK have
shown, such mechanisms have been a primary instigator of regeneration
programmes, providing effective solutions in for renewal in particularly complex areas
(Tyler, 2001). These include providing various grant based mechanisms, gap funding
(Tyler, 2001) and arranging medium and long term capital (Urban Task Force, 1999)
for developers. Methods of incorporating programmes which allocate future increases
in property taxes from a designated area to pay for improvements within that specific
area, better known as tax incremental financing or TIFs have also been the option of
many municipalities in the US to facilitate the infrastructure improvements which
accompanying renewal and consolidation efforts (Dye & Merriman, 1999, Ratcliffe et
al., 1999 sourced in Adair et al 2003)
61
Depending on the nature of how the state, local council and development entities are
engaged, funding options for renewal and consolidation in Cabramatta may include,
but not limited to establishing redevelopment trusts, low interest loan packages,
staged cash injections, remodelling developer contribution payments and or special
tax treatments to encourage developers to undertake land regeneration for low
income housing. For larger institutional developers, this would mean greater
capacities for them to alleviate some of the perceived risks which are currently
keeping them away from any involvement in regeneration and consolidation projects
in the area.
Emerging from the research, the third proposal to improve renewal and consolidation
in Cabramatta is the need to update current planning provisions to better support
new higher density outcomes. As well as better aligning state directions as
prescribed in the Metropolitan and West Central subregional strategies, changes to
planning controls would ultimately prepare the right foundation and capacity for
renewal and higher density housing. This would in turn create more certainty to
development entities and to the market. From local developer experiences, example
issues which proved to be troublesome to their development aspirations were found
to be in the areas relating to floor space ratios, building design and subdivision
patterns. Although we may not know the complete justifications of council decisions
regarding these points of conflicts at the time of local developer projects, it does
highlight that current controls, weather appropriate or not, may in fact be deterring
the prospects of renewed or higher density developments from taking place. In
review of the provisions in Fairfield City Council’s Local Environmental Plan (LEP)
1994, few elements were found to adequately provide opportunities for the delivery of
higher density housing within Cabramatta. This is particularly so for land situated
close to the commercial centre and railway station. Some elements were found to
support opportunities for ample redevelopment and renovation projects, but not on
any major scale. The major point of the whole problem is that developers are left
directionless. Without this direction, it has left a greater tendency for building
development to occur in an uncoordinated fashion that does not properly relate to
existing facilities.
62
Some initial revisions to existing planning provisions may look to incorporate changes
to floor space ratios, increasing limits to built form and re-examining current zoning
allowances. Implementing such changes would ensure that future housing
developments have the flexibility to supply an increased number of dwellings per
development, take up less land and instigate increased housing diversity available to
the community. Further updates to design provisions would additionally ensure that
development would be carried out in manner that is reasonable and responds
appropriately to the desired future character of the local area. Of course, this would
be prepared in tandem with input from the community. In addition to these changes,
council may also consider developing specific guidance material for existing flat
buildings and townhouses as to generate greater capacity for renovation projects.
The most important of all changes would need to be the adoption of quadruple
bottom line requirements to ensure that future developments are financially and
economically viable, meet social goals and amongst other things, have concern for
the social and economic needs of the residents living in the housing (Bratt 2008).
Moreover, additional benefits may come in the form of creating specialised
regeneration zones or site specific master plans to house the changes existing
provisions. According to Bell, the method focuses on devising a document, or series
of documents, explaining the development proposals for an area by including a
strategy for the area, designs and implementation details (2005, p 85). Through this
place-based approach, the local council or housing authority may specify the desired
changes which can apply to relatively wide areas or perhaps, subject to detailed land
audits and investigations, to a series of key individual sites (Bell 2005, p 85). This
method of approach would ultimately place greater control with public authorities,
installing into development initiatives a high degree of co-ordination and
sophistication which might otherwise be lacking and thus mitigating the prospects of
rampant building development from taking place.
The ideas conveyed above will be crucial in forming best practice solutions to help
produce better outcomes for housing renewal and consolidation. As initiators of
future housing, the state and the local council must, before anything else re-evaluate
their current positions to housing development in the area and revise engagement
patterns to market participants. To proceed down the line with the same ad hoc
63
planning mentality and by continuing to promote greater stocks in private housing
developments as witnessed in previous sections, the future of housing in Cabramatta
is destined for failure. Although the recommendations may have been presented
separately, it is hoped that the state and council would look to combine them,
together with other outside measures, to produce a comprehensive approach for the
future of housing in Cabramatta.
6.4 Summary
We have observed that current local development practices have contributed to
renewal and consolidation outcomes in Cabramatta. Such forms of development
however, are unlikely to address the growing concerns of growth, urban decay and
housing affordability. If anything, they are perhaps more an obstacle to renewal and
consolidation prospects in the area.
Given the current housing development processes in Cabramatta, not to mention the
legal controls that govern them, developers are unlikely to fully bring about large
scale urban regeneration, which the area is in so much need of, together with
consolidation outcomes as proposed by the New South Wales Government. Those
mechanisms of best practice for future renewal and consolidation initiatives which
have been suggested offer an ideal solution to achieve this.

CHAPTER SEVEN – RESEARCH FINDINGS
65
7. Conclusion
7.1 Overview
The purpose of this chapter is to conclude the thesis by consolidating the information
and findings presented in the previous chapters. It will begin with a summation of the
research outcomes as well as the key recommendations concerning the future
development of urban renewal and consolidation policies in Cabramatta. Based on
these findings, a reflection on planning implications for the subregion as well as
suggestions for future research is included.
7.2 Research Outcomes
The research objective of this thesis has been to understand how best to renew and
consolidate the suburb of Cabramatta without adversely affecting current living
conditions and the general community. Given the location and existing context of the
area, investigations into local development projects have provided an ideal case
study to distil broad lessons of approach to better inform future renewal and
consolidation initiatives for not just Cabramatta but also for the broader area of the
West Central subregion.
The literature review concerning the key themes of urban renewal and urban
consolidation has also enabled greater perspectives on matters relating to
sustainability of development, governance and their impacts on the form and function
of low income communities and neighbourhoods. This has been specifically explored
through domestic and international experiences as outlined in Chapter 2.
In addition to this, by identifying the policies which has governed housing
development in Cabramatta, we have also been able to understand more thoroughly
the role of the state and local government in connection to the supply of housing in
low income areas as well as their relationship to housing providers and the
community at large. Transitions in housing policy in the past have illustrated a
general retraction of government based projects for the provision of low income
housing. Instead, its responsibilities have effectively become placed in the hands of
66
private developers and left to decisions of market. Where this approach may have
relieved housing problems in the past, it is no longer relevant to the context of today
and as such must be redesigned to better deal with current dilemmas relating to
physical deterioration, supply, affordability, the potential for displacement, funding
and other difficulties in the development process. Given the paradoxical nature of
current arrangements, government decisions in relation to housing in Cabramatta is
now more crucial than ever before. This was all highlighted throughout Chapter 3.
The design of the investigations into local developer experiences has provided
crucial insight in understanding the current strengths and limitations of property-led
local development practices taking place in a low income neighbourhood. Details
regarding the research together with an illustration of local developer profiles and
descriptions of their development projects have all been provided within Chapter 4.
Subsequent findings which focus on local developer decisions, choices in
development vehicles, funding arrangements and project outcomes have generated
a vital point of discussion in relation to forming best practice solutions for future urban
renewal and consolidation initiatives for Cabramatta. This is presented in Chapter 5
alongside the recommended changes needed in current initiatives.
Overall, the outcomes arising from the thesis has addressed those objectives and
questions which were set out prior to the commencement of the research. In doing
so, it has highlighted some of the mechanisms which would benefit efforts to renewal
and consolidate the suburb of Cabramatta.
7.3 Summary of Recommendations
The recommendations provided as part of the discussion of findings derived from this
research study focus primarily on the role of state and local government and their
relationship to development bodies and the community.
Public-private partnerships
The state and or local government should exploit the opportunities to work with
housing providers and local community operatives to instigate renewal and
67
consolidation projects within area. Current circumstances cannot attract the attention
of professional developers and so the majority of housing projects are mainly carried
out by many small scale developers for purposes of personal profit and security.
Unless partnership schemes are not implemented, development in the area is likely
to remain inefficient in meeting effective long term housing needs and objectives for
the area
Government-based funding
More government based funding mechanisms should also be put in place in addition
to current options. As private funds make up a large proportion of property
development funding, developers are stand to gain substantially lower profits for the
risks associated. As such development opportunities will likely continue to suffer from
the paralysis of financial burdens associated with property development. On
conditions that development projects will result in affordable and innovative housing
solutions, a range of funding mechanisms exists to help alleviate this. They include
establishing redevelopment trusts, designing low interest loan packages, offer staged
cash injections, creation of tax incentives and revising developer contribution plans.
Update existing policy provisions
Future housing renewal and consolidation projects are subject to the limitations of
current planning provisions. Current provisions have effectively capped the potential
for developments which may offer ideal housing solutions to the area in terms of
design and capacity. Existing provisions need to be reviewed and updated
accordingly to allow and encourage appropriate housing developments to take place.
Initial revisions to existing planning provisions may look to incorporate revisions to
floor space ratios, increasing limits to built form and re-examining current zoning
allowances. Updates to design provisions would additionally ensure that
development would be carried out in manner that is reasonable and responds
appropriately to the desired future character of the local area. The state and council
should also look to implement bottom line requirements to force development
outcomes to be more financially and economically viable, have regard to community
aspirations and attend to current social concerns.
68
Develop place-based policies
To specifically exploit development opportunities in strategic areas and to extreme
pockets of decline, the state and local government should look to create specialised
regeneration zones or site specific master plans to house the changes existing
provisions. As well as providing guidance to the future of development, this line of
approach would place greater control for public authorities to tailor development
outcomes more appropriately to relate to current issues for the community and future
growth of the area. It is also acts as an ideal way to muster in and house those other
mechanisms which have been already suggested, effectively improving the quality of
co-ordination and sophistication involved in the development process and thus
mitigating the prospects of rampant building development from taking place.
7.4 Suggestions for Future Research
The large scope of issues which urban renewal and consolidation prospects face in
area stresses a need for greater studies to be undertaken. This thesis has provided
some of the mechanisms which are designed to mitigate certain areas of concern
only by primarily examining local developer contributions. As those mechanisms
themselves exist in many different variations and can be combined in innovative
ways, future research can look to provide thorough modeling of their individual
impacts.
As discussed before, the primary research was not without limitations. The research
could have covered a larger pool and a more extensive range of local residential
development projects. The refusal of the owner at 77 Hill Street makes a great
example to this. Even though the project was essentially more relevant to renewal
than to consolidation, it would have provided important insight into better ways of
reinvigorating and managing outdated walkup buildings. Further research into these
particular experiences also exists for future capacities.
In the specific context for improving renewal and consolidation for the wider areas of
the subregion, examinations into local developer experiences in other localities
69
modelled similar to the primary research of this thesis provides further opportunities
of investigations. The development context of other areas may prove to be
substantially different to that of Cabramatta and would information collected would
add to a comprehensive body of knowledge to inform broad policy implications
7.5 Final Remarks
From a strategic point of view, the West Central subregion remains as one of the
most crucial areas in Metropolitan Sydney which offer great opportunities to support
additional dwellings and to meet housing demands for future. There are now even
more incentives to do this as much of the housing in the area are nearing the end of
their physical and economic lifecycles.
As revealed in this thesis, increasing the scale of both the state and local
governments involvement in housing collaborations will be a crucial in achieving this
as well as delivering more sustainable outcomes for the community. Government
intervention through the form of development partnerships, financial leveraging and
policy and plan changes will been an effective means of ensuring that housing stays
affordable, development projects remain viable and housing quality is improved.
Though these mechanisms will benefit renewal and consolidation prospects, it should
be pointed out that many other options are also available for adoption. The key to this
task however is in the ability of the state and local government to incorporate such
mechanisms into a comprehensive strategy, one which pulls together the resources
and knowledge from various sources to better co-ordinate future development and
serve the interests of the community. This will undoubtedly impact on how
development takes place as well as providing a clear vision going forward.
