Liverpool NSW Is Being Rebuilt: What the $600M City Transformation Means for Families Moving Here

Liverpool, NSW, is in the middle of its biggest transformation in decades. A $600M urban renewal project (Civic Place), a 28-hectare lifestyle precinct (Woodward Place), a rezoned CBD primed for 10,000 new homes, and an
The whole precinct is designed to be all-electric, with potential for carbon-neutral operation. That’s not just good for the planet — it signals the calibre of development Liverpool is attracting.
For families, what matters most here is simple: a vibrant, walkable city centre is being built around you. New jobs, new public spaces, new services — all within walking distance of where you’d live. Total investment $600 million Stage 1 completed Late 2023 Stage 2 status Under construction Key features Library, council chambers, co-living, life sciences hub Energy design All-electric, carbon-neutral potential You don’t have to figure out the logistics alone. As your trusted removalist Liverpool, Two Brothers Removals is a local, family-run team that knows Liverpool’s streets, suburbs, and side streets better than anyone.In 2018, the NSW Government rezoned 25 hectares in the heart of Liverpool’s CBD from commercial to mixed-use — the most significant planning change for the city since its original grid was published in 1827.
The rezoning allows new developments to include a mix of cafes, bars, restaurants, retail, childcare, office space, and residential uses. The result? The CBD is now projected to accommodate up to 10,000 new homes and 22,000 additional jobs.
This isn’t just about apartments. It’s about creating a genuine 18-hour economy — the kind of city centre where you can walk to work, drop the kids at childcare, grab a coffee, and have dinner out, all without getting in a car.

For families moving to Liverpool now, this rezoning means the suburb you move into today will look significantly different — and significantly more valuable — in five to ten years. That’s a meaningful advantage for anyone buying property here in the near term. Metric Figure Rezoned area 25 hectares Projected new homes Up to 10,000 Projected new jobs 22,000 Year of rezoning 2018 Population by 2036 331,000 Liverpool is already one of the most culturally diverse communities in Australia. Here’s what the transformation adds on top of that :
For families planning a move, experienced removalists Liverpool locals trust can make settling into the area much easier.Public School sits right in the CBD. Liverpool West Public School serves the western side. And in a major investment, the NSW Government is building a brand-new co-educational high school by merging Liverpool Boys and Girls High Schools into a single, state-of-the-art campus catering for up to 2,000 students — part of a $3.5 billion commitment to new and upgraded schools in Western Sydney. The plan is for it to anchor a “cradle-to-PhD” education precinct in the Liverpool CBD.The $830M Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct (LHAP) redevelopment is well underway. Stage 1 main works were completed in October 2024, delivering expanded maternity services, a new pathology department, and an expanded emergency department. Stage 2 adds an Integrated Services Building with outpatient clinics and inpatient units. Liverpool Hospital is already the second-largest hospital in NSW — this expansion makes it even more capable of serving a growing population.Western Sydney University opened its vertical Liverpool City Campus in 2020. The University of Wollongong is also embedded in the Civic Place precinct. Three major universities are now operating in or near Liverpool’s CBD. That means local jobs in education, health, and research — the kind of stable, long-term employment that supports family life.Liverpool is about 30 km south-west of the Sydney CBD. By train, you’re looking at roughly an hour to Central Station, with services running every 10 minutes. By car, it’s around 35 minutes off-peak. Manageable — and improving, with the planned Fifteenth Avenue Smart Transit (FAST) Corridor set to connect Liverpool CBD directly to Western Sydney International Airport. Families in surrounding suburbs like Prestons, Leppington, and Austral also benefit from Liverpool’s expanding transit network, and our Austral removalists team knows these growth corridors well.Liverpool isn’t just a suburb. It’s officially recognised as Sydney’s third CBD — and the capital of South Western Sydney’s fast-growing region.
The Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport is being built entirely within the Liverpool local government area. A 20-year City Deal between federal, state, and local governments is delivering once-in-a-generation infrastructure across the region. Liverpool is the gateway to all of it. Families settling in nearby suburbs like Prestons are equally well-placed to benefit from Liverpool’s growth as the region’s capital.
The Liverpool Innovation Precinct, anchored by Liverpool Hospital, is designed to cluster health, education, research, and technology businesses in one place. That’s the kind of precinct that attracts high-quality employers — and high-quality employers attract the kind of community investment that makes a suburb genuinely great to live in.
Liverpool’s population is expected to reach 331,000 by 2036. The infrastructure being built right now is designed to serve that population. Moving here now means you benefit from the investment without paying the premium that comes once it’s all finished.Here’s the honest reality: the best time to move to a suburb undergoing this level of transformation is before the transformation is complete.

Once Woodward Place is open, once the new high school is built, once the Civic Place precinct is fully activated, property values will reflect all of that. Right now, they don’t fully reflect it yet.
Families who moved to suburbs like Green Square or Parramatta before their major urban renewal projects were finished consistently saw strong property growth. Liverpool is following the same playbook, but at a larger scale and with more government backing behind it.
- More affordable entry point than comparable inner-west or northern suburbs
- Access to world-class infrastructure as it comes online

Nawar started with a single truck in Middleton Grange in 2009, and today he's the voice on the other end of the phone. He quotes almost every job we do, which means he has walked through, measured or asked about tens of thousands of Sydney homes — from Liverpool walk-ups to Oran Park new builds and Northern Beaches interstate loads.
His rule is simple: no surprises on invoice day. He works out how many hours a job honestly needs, tells you what could stretch it, and puts the inclusions in writing before you commit. He also handles insurance, licensing paperwork and the building forms high-rise moves always need.
