Rozelle Village

Rozelle Village is entering an exciting new chapter under the ownership of PERIFA, in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate Asia (MEA). Together, they are delivering a landmark $800 million development, transforming the long-vacant former Balmain Leagues Club site into a thriving, mixed-use precinct.

This website is dedicated to keeping the community informed and up-to-date with progress on-site, ensuring residents and local businesses have access to the latest information about works, milestones and community engagement opportunities.

PERIFA has been involved in the project since 2023 and is now accelerating progress to create a precinct that reflects Balmain-Rozelle’s heritage, community values and future ambitions.

The project will feature new public spaces, cultural and retail offerings, a town square and much-needed housing, including affordable homes. With demolition nearing completion, construction is set to commence by the end of Q2 2025, ushering in a new era for this iconic site.
