LIDCOMBE RISE

Billbergia

Lidcombe NSW

Goldfish & Bay is proud to have contributed to Lidcombe Rise, a transformative mixed-use development that enhances the supply of social, affordable, and market housing while fostering community and sustainability.

Located near Lidcombe Station, the site has been reimagined from 10 detached dwellings into a vibrant hub with 376 apartments, including 63 social housing units, small-format retail spaces, and a childcare centre for 60 children.

Designed by Plus Architecture, Lidcombe Rise prioritises equity of amenity across all housing types, ensuring consistent quality and dignity throughout the development. Its architectural language features swooping precast forms, glazed elements, and matte aluminium paneling, with colour inspired by Sydney’s diverse flora. Sustainability measures include reduced glazing, solar protection fins, and double-glazed windows, enhancing energy efficiency.

Community and Impact

Lidcombe Rise exemplifies how socially forward developments can thrive, delivering equitable amenities, high-quality living spaces, and financial sustainability.
