1977 – 1984: Seeking industry partners and active advocacy

Landcom acquired land at St Mary’s, Campbelltown, Penrith and in the Illawarra, and released its first land for sale on 23 April 1977 at St Clair Estate.

With the economy depressed and finance limited, in the mid 1970s Landcom worked with builders to create land and house package deals for prospective buyers.

Landcom was also actively seeking to develop relationships with the private development industry and with industry bodies.

Landcom was active in advocating for rezoning and approval efficiencies within government to help stabilise the housing market and support industry.
