Southwark Grounds expansion to deliver more homes
Published Monday, 18 May 2026
The Southwark Grounds Code Amendment has been approved by the Minister for Planning, increasing the number of homes that can be delivered at the former West End Brewery site on Port Road.
The code amendment will raise maximum building heights from 8 levels to 14 levels on the eastern section and to 12 levels across the remainder of the site, with minimum heights ranging from 2 to 4 levels.
Community feedback during consultation generally supported increasing building heights to enable more housing in a location close to the city and key services.
Civil works are underway, with new roads being constructed and the first homes expected to be completed later this year.
The development will include a mix of housing supported by local services, including retail, hospitality, a childcare centre and public open space.
