Urban Taskforce Australia welcomes Council’s new Master Plan for Bondi Junction, and its positive approach to greater density and renewal.
Council should be commended on the speed with which it has moved from releasing its Vision for Bondi Junction in late 2025 to exhibiting the Master Plan in mid-2026.
As with our comments on the Vision, the proposal to encourage the delivery of more housing, better civic and open spaces, an increase in late-night dining and entertainment, the activation of the street frontage and ground plane, along with more transport connectivity, will all help to revitalise this important precinct.
Urban Taskforce is supportive of the Master Plan’s target to deliver 3,000 dwellings within five targeted areas. Given Waverley as a whole has a modest housing target of 2,400 new homes to be delivered by 2029, this Master Plan is a step in the right direction.
However, as noted in our response to the Vision, this target for Waverley should be more than doubled to bring life and vitality back to the suburb while renewing its tired and dilapidated town centre. In short, the Masterplan should aim to significantly over-perform in this area.
