Introducing a dynamic new precinct that will bring modern living, diverse retail, and beautiful public spaces to the heart of Five Dock.
TOGA is excited to present plans for a significant renewal project in Five Dock. This development will create a thriving mixed-use community, breathing new life into the Parramatta Road corridor with modern homes, convenient shopping, and enhanced green spaces, all seamlessly connected to the future Five Dock Metro Station.
About the project
Our proposal is in the early stages of planning and represents a significant opportunity to revitalise a key site in Five Dock located at 33-43 Queens Road and 51-55 and 61 Parramatta Road. Our vision is to create a dynamic new urban village featuring:
Residential Living: Approximately 700–750 thoughtfully designed apartments
Retail & Community Hub: Around 8,000 m² dedicated to retail spaces, including a convenient supermarket and other community amenities
Green Heart: A substantial new 2,090 m² public park, alongside extensive public domain improvements
7.5% Affordable Housing Contribution
60,000 m² maximum total building area (GFA)
Maximum building height of 80 metres across the site
The project will also:
seamlessly connect with the future Five Dock Metro Station and improved surrounding road infrastructure
introduce a new internal road connecting Parramatta Road and Queens Road and provide direct access to basement parking for residents and retail customers, helping to minimise local traffic impacts on Courland Street and Harris Street
feature an east-west pedestrian pathway fronting the retail areas and the new park
deliver significant improvements to public spaces, including a new plaza and upgrades to Queens Road and Parramatta Road frontages and footpaths
provide basement car parking across the site for residents, retail customers and visitors, consistent with planning requirements.

Design Excellence
TOGA has engaged a team of leading design professionals to ensure our project sets a new standard for urban design:
Bates Smart
Principal Architect (masterplan) and Buildings 2 and 3
Wardle Studio
Building 1 Architect
Mostaghim
Building 4 (Co-Living) Architect
Taylor Brammer
Landscape Architect
Our design excellence strategy will challenge the team to create architectural diversity across the buildings, ensuring the new development is attractive and embodies the highest design quality. The precinct scale of the site offers TOGA the flexibility to achieve both development requirements and outstanding urban outcomes, all centred around a generous new parkland.
To ensure high standards of privacy and residential amenity, buildings will be designed in line with the Australian Design Guidelines (ADG) criteria which specifically address factors like privacy, outlook, and building separation. Private open spaces for residents will be provided on podiums and rooftops.

Enhancing connectivity and public spaces
At the heart of the project is a new 2,090 m² public park, designed for community enjoyment, gathering, and engagement. The park and adjacent retail spaces will promote indoor and outdoor seating, encouraging activation and play.
New streets through the site will be tree-lined and feature pedestrian footpaths on both sides, enhancing connections and creating attractive, landscaped roadverges.
Provision has been made for community infrastructure, which will be discussed in detail with the City of Canada Bay.
Proposed plan for the project’s Green Heart
Maximising solar access
As shown in the diagram below, our site's location south of the primary residential area of Five Dock, means that overshadowing impacts are largely limited to locations within the Parramatta Road Corridor.
Careful planning and design have also allowed us to make the most of the site’s scale to minimise the impacts of taller buildings on surrounding neighbours.

Traffic, access and parking
We understand the importance of managing traffic and parking in an established area like Five Dock. Our plans prioritise sustainable transport and efficient access.
Pedestrian and cycling connections across the site and into the neighbourhood supporting access to public transport, including to the future Five Dock Metro Station.
Traffic impact assessment as part of our State Significant Development Application (SSDA) and continue engagement with Transport for NSW to identify and mitigate traffic impacts.
Parking for both residential and retail uses, including dedicated parking for visitors and shoppers.
Access to the site, including basement parking, would be via a proposed new road through the site between Parramatta and Queens Roads.
Proposed new parking, traffic and pedestrian arrangements
In response to feedback provided by the community and key stakeholders during consultation in late 2025 updates have been made to the proposed traffic and access arrangements. These updates will minimise potential impacts on residents and the local road network and include:
left turn only on Queens Road in and out of the site via the proposed new road within the site. The previously proposed right turns in and out of the site have been removed. Therefore, options for entry and exit to the site will be via left turns in and out of Parramatta or Queens Roads, depending on whether you are travelling from the east or the west.
construction truck movements in and out of the site via Parramatta Road only. To mitigate traffic congestion, Harris Road, Queens Road and Courland Street will not be used during construction. Click here to view the proposed access during construction.

Construction
Managing noise, vibration and dust
TOGA understands that building in an established neighbourhood requires care and consideration. We’re committed to working closely with our neighbours to minimise any impacts during construction.
Subject to SSDA approval, we will prepare a detailed Construction and Environmental Management Plan. This plan will outline how we’ll manage construction safely and responsibly — reducing noise, dust, vibration, and traffic impacts wherever possible.
We will collaborate with Rosebank College to limit disruption to the school day and make sure student drop-off and pick-up areas remain safe and accessible.
Proposed truck access and parking arrangement during construction
Managing traffic, access and parking during construction
A detailed Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) will set out how traffic, access, and parking will be managed throughout construction to keep the local area moving safely and efficiently.
This will include:
On-Site Parking for Workers: On-site parking for staff and construction workers is proposed to minimise disruption and reduce the need for on-street parking in surrounding residential areas.
Controlled Truck Movements: Designated truck routes and entry/exit points clearly outlined for each stage of construction to ensure traffic safety and reduce local impacts. This includes entry and exit via Parramatta Road only and prohibiting construction truck movements on Harris Street, Queens Road and Courland Street.
Pedestrian Safety: A hoarding strategy will protect pedestrians along Queens Road and Parramatta Road, managing site entry points and site security.
Further information about what to expect during construction and mitigation of potential impacts can be viewed in the FAQs.
