It has been prepared in accordance with Section 3.33 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Department of Planning Infrastructure and Environment (DPIE) documents ‘A guide to preparing local environmental plans’ and ‘A guide to preparing planning proposals’. Summary This Planning Proposal seeks to amend BLEP 2015 in order to implement the strategies and recommendations contained within the Riverstone Town Centre Masterplan, as adopted by Council on 22 November 2017. This is Part 1 of a staged approach to implementation of the masterplan recommendations. The Masterplan details Blacktown City’s strategic direction to shape, manage and revitalise commercial and residential growth within the Riverstone Town Centre over the next 20 years. The Masterplan provides an integrated land use planning and transport plan that responds to the anticipated growth in the area during this period. Our vision for the Riverstone Town Centre is to create a vibrant, sustainable centre with opportunities for the community. Proposed key amendments to BLEP 2015 include: • upzoning of land within the Riverstone Town Centre core area to B4 Mixed Use and R4 High Density Residential to enable a mix of commercial, retail and higher density residential uses • changes to planning controls that relate to building heights to allow up to 20 m (6 storeys) and 32 m (10 storeys) • changes to the Lot size map to align with the proposed zoning changes • identification of land to be acquired by Council for community uses • changes to the Design Excellence map to include land in the Riverstone Town Centre • allowing additional building height up to 50 m (15 storeys) on land on land between Pitt Street and Riverstone Parade, subject to an architectural design competition. A copy of the Riverstone Town Centre Masterplan and the supporting economic and feasibility analysis, urban design analysis and transport assessment accompany this Planning Proposal. Page 2 of 39 Council consideration Council resolved in July 2016 to prepare and exhibit a draft masterplan to manage and shape future growth and development in the Riverstone Town Centre. The draft masterplan was exhibited from 22 August to 30 September 2016. The exhibition included 4 masterplan options for the redevelopment of the town centre. In November 2017, Council resolved to adopt Option 2 ‘The Main Street’ for inclusion in the final masterplan for the Riverstone Town Centre, based on consideration of the comparative performance of each option based on the criteria set out in the Masterplan and community feedback from public exhibition of the draft masterplan. In February 2018, Council resolved to: • prepare a Planning Proposal to amend Blacktown Local Environmental Plan 2015, and progress corresponding draft amendments to Blacktown Development Control Plan 2015, to implement the statutory elements of the land use planning strategy outlined in the Riverstone Town Centre Masterplan • forward the Planning Proposal to the Department of Planning and Environment seeking a Gateway Determination to exhibit the proposal • exhibit the Planning Proposal concurrently with draft amendments to Blacktown Development Control Plan 2015. A copy of the Council resolution to prepare a Planning Proposal is at Appendix 1. Page 3 of 39 Gateway Determination We received a conditional Gateway Determination on 6 August 2018. It required the following be undertaken prior to public exhibition: • preparation of a flood study in consultation with the SES, INSW (Flood Risk Directorate) and Transport for NSW (TfNSW) • consultation with the Government Architect of NSW and obtain the endorsement of the Secretary (or delegate) for the proposed Design Excellence Guidelines • work with the Department of Planning and Environment to refine infrastructure funding, undertake sensitivity testing and consider if contributions towards the State and Regional Infrastructure should be captured • clarify that the new incentive clause, to be inserted into Part 7 of BLEP 2015 is only a draft clause to state Council’s intent and is subject to changes when the LEP is finalised by Parliamentary Council • submit a revised planning proposal to the Department for endorsement. A revised Planning Proposal was submitted to the Department in August 2019. An amended Gateway Determination issued on 13 December 2019 required Council to exclude the area south of Garfield Road East from the Planning Proposal. This is to enable TfNSW to review the Garfield Road East road corridor and railway level crossing. This Planning Proposal is therefore further revised to exclude proposed amendments to planning controls from land south of Garfield Road East. The planning controls which apply to the land south of Garfield Road East will be reviewed at a later date. The Planning Proposal has been updated as follows: • Gateway Determination • Part 2 Explanation of provisions: land zoning, building height, incentive height of buildings map, minimum lot size, intention of allowing additional height on land in

    Marsden Park Developments Pty Ltd 920 Richmond Road Marsden Park New South Wales 2765 7 July 2017 Department of Planning & Environment Level 5, 10 Valentine Avenue Parramatta New South Wales 2150 Dear Department of Planning & Environment, RE: MARSDEN PARK STRATEGIC CENTRE SUBMISSION ON THE DRAFT NORTH WEST PRIORITY GROWTH AREA LAND USE AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Introduction The following is a submission prepared by Marsden Park Developments Pty Ltd in response to the draft North West Priority Growth Area Land Use and Infrastructure Implementation Plan (draft Plan) released by the Department of Planning & Environment (the Department) in May 2017, specifically as they relate to the planning of the Marsden Park Strategic Centre. At 566.8 hectares, the Marsden Park Strategic Centre is the largest employment zone in the North West of Sydney, planning to provide 23,500 direct jobs. Marsden Park Strategic Centre is twice the size of the Sydney Central Business District and Macquarie Park, and 50% bigger than Norwest Business Park. Marsden Park Developments Pty Ltd is the developer of Sydney Business Park ‐ a $2.9 billion, master‐ planned, campus style development with a broad range of uses including commercial, industrial, retail, educational and medical that is located within the Marsden Park Strategic Centre. Spanning 256 hectares, the Sydney Business Park masterplan and flexible zoning allows the project to tailor to each incoming business and be positioned for change in the market, while providing a wide range of retail amenity to both support and facilitate the diverse employment. This amenity includes a supermarket, childcare, medical centre, gymnasium, cafes and eateries, a 90,000 sqm homemaker and trade centre, all of which is adjacent to the planned 35,000 sqm Marsden Park Town Centre that SGS Economics & Planning advise can be extended to 110,500 sqm by 2036.

  • Improving the Freight Rail Network
    Draft Western District Plan Submission_id: 31800 Date of Lodgment: 15 Dec 2017 Origin of Submission: Online First name: Paul Last name: Hutchinson Suburb: 2765 Submission content: Please view the uploaded attachments in relation to improving transport options in Western Sydney & also having a bypass built around Riverstone. Number of attachments: 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Community Consultation findings The aim of this study is to examine the Overpass options presented to the Riverstone Community. The report shall then examine the feasibility of the options on a case by case basis, to seek which option would represent the best option for the Riverstone Community. Part 1. Executive Summary A new four lane Overpass built on the existing alignment of Garfield rd would require a widening of Garfield rd outside the current Road reserve. However a new 2 lane local overpass in conjunction with either the Loftus St or Victoria rd options would allow for widening of Garfield rd within the existing road reserve. If this option were to be selected currently no loss of business premises in Riverstone, But future impacts would occur with the widening of Garfield rd which has provision for this corridor to become a six lane road. However significant impacts to business in Garfield rd and Loftus St would occur should this option be selected. Impacts would come from lack of access to sites along the proposed Garfield rd corridor, Poor heavy vehicular access granted to business premises located on Loftus St. Removal of business premises along one side of Loftus St to cater for the overpass.
