The revitalisation of one of Wagga’s disadvantaged suburbs could be as many as 10 years away from completion, with the masterplan for the Tolland Renewal Project not yet finalised.

Announced two years ago, a spokesperson for the Department of Planning and Environment said they were still working to establish a long-term vision for the suburb.

Part of the state government’s regional renewal project, it’s hoped the suburb will be revitalised with a mix of affordable homes, and new social housing.

Argyle Consortium was engaged to partner with the Department of Land and Housing on the project in late 2020, and it was expected the masterplan would take 12 to 18 months to complete.

“It’s a really exciting project that will transform the way we look at social housing,” he said.

“What we’re trying to build is a sense of community.”

The spokesperson said there were no current plans to relocate Land and Housing Corporation or Aboriginal Housing Office residents.

“When the time comes, each resident can be assured they will be fully supported to relocate to a new home that meets their individual needs,” they said.
