By: OpenLot.com.au | 22 Aug, 2025

 

The first episode of New Neighbourhoods by Openlot.com.au takes us deep into South Western Sydney, one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions. South Western Sydney is in the midst of a transformation, with a brand-new international airport, Bradfield City Centre on the rise, and billions invested in transport and infrastructure. 

Episode 1 takes us inside some of the region’s featured developments: 

  1. Birling Estate
  2. The Rickard Gardens
  3. Bingara Gorge
  4. Menangle Park Estate

One of the most anticipated new addresses is Birling, by the Cameron Brae Group. Designed as a lifestyle haven, Birling will feature tree-lined streets, green corridors, walking trails and family-friendly spaces. With lot sizes starting from 350m² and extending to premium larger blocks, buyers can choose between low-maintenance living or building their dream home with space for five bedrooms and even a pool. Its unbeatable connections to road, rail and the new airport make it the perfect choice for families, professionals, and investors alike.

Behind the Scenes 🎬

While filming Episode 1 of New Neighbourhoods, we had the chance to see South Western Sydney from a different angle, the one you don’t usually catch on screen.

On Location: From the rolling landscapes of Bingara Gorge to the emerging streets of Rickard Gardens, our crew was often chasing the light to capture those perfect shots.

Team Effort: Behind every polished frame was a small army of photographers, writers, and production crew working together to bring South Western Sydney’s story to life.

Candid Moments: Between takes, there were plenty of laughs, builders sharing local stories, our team ducking out of drone paths, and residents stopping by to see what the cameras were up to.
