Blackbutt - Shellharbour City Centre

Residential development

Residential development forecasts assume the number of dwellings in Blackbutt - Shellharbour City Centre will increase by an average of 28 dwellings per annum to 2,450 in 2046.

The addition of dwellings to the housing stock is a major driver of population growth in an area, providing opportunities for households to relocate from other areas or new households to form locally (such as young people leaving the family home or separations/divorces).

Residential development can take various forms depending on the availability of land. These include new housing estates on greenfield sites, subdivision in existing residential neighbourhoods (often called infill development), conversion of industrial lands to residential lands, and densification of housing by building up.
