If you couldn’t attend - or just want to catch up - here’s all the key info from the night, along with some helpful links and documents.

Town Centre Construction is Underway

If you haven't heard it from us already - the Sienna Wood Town Centre is officially under construction - and big things are already happening! This vibrant new space is designed to be the heart of the community, bringing convenience, connection, and lifestyle together. Set to open in 2026, the 7,500 square-metre development will feature everything from a full-line Woolworths supermarket to 15 specialty stores, dining options, a medical centre, and a Nido Early School childcare centre. Want more details? Check out our announcement here. 

The Town Centre will also create hundreds of local jobs, both during construction and once it’s up and running, supporting the area’s growth. As part of the development, we’re also looking into telecommunication upgrades to improve connectivity - without compromising the area’s visual appeal - through reduced tower heights or roof-mounted solutions.

Our Government Primary School is Opening in 2026

We've been talking about our future primary school a lot - and rightly so! Our very own state-of-the-art primary school is well underway - and will be opening its doors very soon. Set to welcome students for the 2026 school year, the school will cater for 540 students and feature amazing facilities including a library, music and science rooms, all designed to support the growing needs of our community. As a key part of the Wungong Urban Masterplan, this new school will boost educational opportunities for local families. Check out the proposed plans here.

Forest Road Upgrades

You may have noticed the roadworks happening along Forest Road - with a major upgrade underway to better support the growing Sienna Wood community and improve safety for all users. A 1.4km stretch of road is being transformed into a dual carriageway, complete with two new roundabouts to boost traffic flow and safety. Construction kicked off in October 2024 and is set to wrap up late 2025 - just in time to make access easier to the Sienna Wood Town Centre and the future primary school. 

In the meantime, expect some temporary disruptions, including slower traffic and daytime noise. But don’t worry, we’ll keep you updated regularly to help minimise any inconvenience. Want more details? Check out the full plan for Forest Road here.

Neighbourhood Watch Armadale & Armadale Police

We were incredibly fortunate to have the Armadale Police and Neighbourhood Watch Armadale join us on the night to chat with residents, answer questions and discuss ways to boost community safety. The goal? To help build a stronger neighbourhood watch program and improve connections with local authorities. Attendees walked away with useful crime prevention tips, info on local resources, and helpful pamphlets on securing their homes. It was the perfect opportunity to strengthen community bonds and raise awareness about keeping our area safe!

(Even) More Development in the Works!

Our community is buzzing with progress, with exciting new stages and infrastructure updates lined up for the next 12 months! In Haynes, construction is moving forward on the final stages, including Cell D along Eighth Road, with Stage 20A marking the last delivery before nearby landowners begin their developments. Over in Riverbend, more land releases are on the horizon, with earthworks set to start soon. These new stages, nestled between Wungong and a Conservation Wetland, will offer a stunning natural setting, close to the future town centre and primary school. The wetland’s revegetation is nearly complete, and soon, limestone pathways will connect residents to this peaceful spot. Plus, keep an eye out for POS 200, where new green spaces and amenities are coming your way!
