Burwood is set for a lively Saturday as Holdmark prepares to host Hello Neighbour!, a free community celebration at Burwood Plaza that gives locals a glimpse of the area’s next stage of renewal. The event runs from 11am to 1pm on 22 November and aims to bring families, traders and visitors together while showcasing plans for the new Burwood Place precinct.
The day will feature live performances, children’s activities, photo spots and plenty of food, creating a relaxed setting for people to see what the future of the suburb may look like. Information booths will offer updates on Holdmark’s urban regeneration project, which is set to reshape a key part of central Burwood.
Burwood was recently named Australia’s coolest suburb, and organisers say the area’s growing reputation makes Hello Neighbour! a timely chance to mark its momentum. The event encourages residents to explore how Burwood Place fits into that broader story, with a mix of retail, residential, commercial and civic elements planned for the precinct.
Holdmark has been involved in reshaping parts of Sydney for decades, with upcoming projects across Melrose Park, Caddens, Macquarie Park, the CBD and Parramatta. Burwood Place is positioned as a major part of that pipeline, with the company working on thousands of new homes, large public spaces and expanded commercial offerings across its portfolio.
Everyone is welcome at Saturday’s event, which is designed as both a celebration and a community catch up. Media have been invited to attend for interviews and photo opportunities.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
