Elanor Investors Group have unveiled the draft plans for the redevelopment of its Warrawong Plaza. The revitalised Warrawong Plaza will feature 12 residential towers, reaching up to 22 storeys, providing a transformative boost to the local community and economy.
Elanor Investors Group has submitted plans for the proposed rezoning of the 7-hectare site, which will facilitate the construction of 1,300 new homes, including 10% dedicated to affordable housing. This proposal is one of four in New South Wales under the State-Assessed Planning Proposal pilot announced last July, aiming to increase the supply and diversity of housing across the state. These plans are now on display for community feedback, marking a significant milestone in the journey to revitalise Warrawong Plaza.

The redevelopment will increase the building height from eight to 22 storeys, featuring staggered heights for a visually appealing skyline. Existing retail space will be retained, with shops operating during construction. The project is expected to support 540 jobs during construction and an additional 540 operational jobs once completed.
A 3,000m2 publicly accessible plaza will provide green spaces and links with Cowper Street and Northcliffe Drive, enhancing community connectivity and quality of life.
Matt Healy, Elanor’s Head of Retail, Development & Mixed-Use said: “We are incredibly proud of the plans for Warrawong Plaza. This redevelopment will not only provide much-needed housing but also create a vibrant community hub that meets the demands of our growing population. The inclusion of affordable housing ensures that we are addressing housing needs across different demographics, contributing to a more inclusive and sustainable future for Warrawong.”
