Greater Macarthur Land Release Investigation

Post date: Oct 30, 2015 5:20:29 AM

The NSW Government Department of Planning & Environment have been working closely with Campbelltown and Wollondilly Councils to investigate the possibility of releasing land for new homes and jobs in the Greater Macarthur area.

The outcomes of the investigation are set out in the Greater Macarthur Land Release Preliminary Strategy, which is now on exhibition.

The Strategy sets out a vision for the next 20 years including:

• Opportunities for new homes and jobs in Menangle Park and Mount Gilead

• A new town in Wilton

• Infrastructure to meet community needs

• Opportunities for community services and public spaces

• Protections for the environment

Alongside the Preliminary Strategy the Department are also consulting on proposed changes to State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) 2006 that will identify Menangle Park/Mount Gilead and Wilton as new growth centres. The consultation will be held from 22 September 2015 until 4 November 2015.
