West Dapto

West Dapto is the fastest-growing residential area in New South Wales outside the Sydney region.

Many new developments are underway or have already been finished in this area. Over the next few decades, it will become home to around 19,000 new homes and more than 50,000 people. West Dapto will also bring new employment land and job opportunities to Wollongong.

Overseeing growth in West Dapto is the biggest and longest-running project Council has ever undertaken.

Our work includes setting planning rules, approving development, and designing and building new roads, paths and stormwater structures. We’re also planning new town centres, sports facilities, and public spaces for current and future West Dapto residents.
