PRIORITY PLANNING FOR RIVERSTONE TOWN CENTRE

THE Riverstone Town Centre, Marsden Park North, and Schofields West have been declared as State Significant Rezoning precincts to identify and deliver strategically important rezonings in a new policy introduced by the NSW Government.
 
Including these areas as part of the State Significant Rezoning Policy is a crucial step towards realising their full potential, said Member for Riverstone, Warren Kirby.
 
The State Significant Rezoning Policy aims to identify land to address the housing and employment needs of the growing population in NSW, including Western Sydney.
 
It will also streamline planning efforts of local councils and the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, cutting rezoning timeframes by up to 200 working days. Projects assessed under these pathways will undergo a robust and thorough assessment process.
 
Key benefits of the State Significant Rezoning include:
 
• Accelerated development: Streamlined planning processes will expedite the development of Riverstone Town Centre, Marsden Park North, and Schofields West.
• Economic growth: Developing commercial spaces will stimulate economic activity and create new jobs.
• Improved community amenities: New community facilities will enhance the quality of life for residents.
•Increased housing supply: New housing options will be created to meet the growing demand in the area.
 
The NSW Labor Government is currently delivering on a range of infrastructure projects, which were neglected under the 12-year-old Liberal-Nationals government.
 
• Rouse Hill Hospital.
• Nirimba Fields public school.
• Tallawong public school.
• Tallawong/Schofields high school.
• Upgrades to The Ponds High School/Riverbank public school.
• Garfield Rd East.
• Bandon Rd.
• Richmond Rd upgrades.
 
Warren Kirby MP said: “For far too long, the Riverstone community has been left behind by the former Liberal Government. Our community has a lot of catching up to do from the previous Govt’s neglect, and the Minns’ Govt is delivering on our commitments”.
