City West Housing (CWH) was established in
1994 to implement the State Government’s “Affordable
Housing Program” in Ultimo/Pyrmont, which aims to provide
long term secure affordable rental housing for people who meet
the eligibility criteria
on low to moderate incomes living or working in the Ultimo/Pyrmont area or in the Green
Square area
of South Sydney.
The Sydney Regional Environmental Plan No.
26 (Amendment 4) (REP) was gazetted in March 1995 - this planning
instrument established
the planning, funding and administrative arrangements for the
program’s implementation in Ultimo/Pyrmont. As a result
of the Company’s success in Ultimo/Pyrmont Government invited
CWH to extend its operation into the Green Square area of South
Sydney. CWH, a not for profit organisation, takes the role of
developer as well as manager of its properties, and operates
independently under the guidance of an expertise based Board
of Directors.
Our mission
Our mission is to be an independent and accountable housing
organisation providing an efficient and effective, affordable
and appropriate rental housing service for very low, low and
moderate income earners.
