Overview

  • The NSW government announced it will complete the long-shelved Woollahra train station and lead rezoning around Woollahra and Edgecliff to enable as many as 10,000 new homes.
  • A new stop would deliver an eight‑minute trip to the CBD, with officials noting the Bondi–city rail segment currently operates at about 43% of peak capacity.
  • Rezoning will include a dedicated portion of affordable housing, though the share is undecided, and Homes NSW holds no land near the site.
  • Ministers propose offsetting station costs through value capture tied to land‑value uplift, with specific developer contributions yet to be detailed.
  • The government expects the rezoning process to take roughly two years, and no construction start date has been announced, making finalisation unlikely before the March 2027 state election.
