$500m Transformation for Western Sydney

The NSW Government has announced a $500m transformation for Western Sydney. Four major rezonings have been approved as part of the Planning System Acceleration Program.

Premier Glady’s Berejiklian said it will “help create better-connected” and “more liveable communities” across Western Sydney as well as delivering new jobs and homes.

“Combined, these projects will deliver more than 2,000 new homes, inject $500 million into the local economy and create 1,000 local jobs during construction,” Ms Berejiklian said.

“This is about bringing new life and vibrancy back into these town centres and creating well-connected communities so more people can live closer to where they work.”

The Planning Portal states the four planning approvals will see:

$326 million upgrade to the Villawood Town Centre to transform existing lots into a vibrant mixed-use precinct;
$173.9 million facelift of the Fairfield Heights Town Centre to breathe new life into its high street with increased building heights and floorspace;
changes to the Auburn Local Environment Plan to allow an existing warehouse site to be converted to office space in Silverwater; and
changes to Parramatta’s Local Environmental Plan to enable further housing and improved pedestrian access near Parkes Street, Harris Park.
