Haslams Neighbourhood will be a compact urban neighbourhood located on the edge of Haslams Creek and to the west of Sydney SuperDome. It is bounded by Hill Road, Pondage Link, Edwin Flack Avenue and Old Hill Link. The Carter Street Precinct is located to the south.

The neighbourhood currently accommodates a waste service facility and coach parking which over time will be redeveloped into a residential neighbourhood overlooking Haslams Creek, Haslams Park and the suburb of Newington. Haslams Neighbourhood will be green and leafy, with generous shared courtyards, street tree planting and a new centrally located park. A neighbourhood centre, accommodating shops, childcare and other local services, will be located adjacent to the park.

The neighbourhood will be characterised by residential and mixed-use buildings, ranging in height from six to twenty storeys to maximise solar access to the park and view sharing to the Parklands. New buildings will be setback from the street to accommodate landscaping and urban tree canopy.
