NSW’s Fastest‑Growing Suburb and a Focal Point for Local Civil Works

West Dapto is officially recognised as the fastest‑growing residential area in New South Wales outside of Sydney, with plans to deliver roughly 19,500 new homes and accommodate about 56,500 people over the coming decades  . The NSW Government’s recent rezoning alone unlocked over 2,275 more homes in Stage 3 of the Urban Release Area  . This surge is driving a flood of infrastructure and civil projects—road upgrades, stormwater works, utility installations—all designed to support a rapidly expanding community. Wollongong City Council’s massive West Dapto Access Strategy, backed by more than $100 million in planning and construction, is already delivering roads, bridges, paths, and drainage infrastructure to meet both current and future demand  .

In the heart of this growth, Donnelley Hire is supporting major civil contractors like Glennos and Menai Civil, supplying them with reliable, modern equipment on dry hire. Glennos Construction, known for heavy‑duty earthworks, road construction, and subdivision projects across the Illawarra, has tapped into our fleet to meet their precision and performance needs  . Meanwhile, Menai Civil is undertaking large‑scale subdivision works in West Dapto—bulk earthworks, stormwater installations, utilities—and our machines are on‑site digging trenches, moving materials, and maintaining momentum  . By providing low‑hour, fully‑serviced excavators, dumpers, rollers, and attachments at short notice, we enable these teams to work efficiently and on schedule—delivering dependable infrastructure for a burgeoning community.
