Walker Corporation holds large consolidated landholdings in West Appin which has been identified by the State Government and within the draft South West District Plan as being suitable for urban release after 2036, based on the level of infrastructure required to service the future population. This submission demonstrates why timeframes, terminology and map depictions restricting the early release of West Appin should be removed from the draft South West District Plan, enabling its early development as warranted by housing demand and the ability of landowners to supply the necessary infrastructure, in keeping with the Department of Planning and Environment’s conditions for accelerated rezoning. Walker Corporation welcomes the opportunity to work with the Greater Sydney Commission to demonstrate in more detail how the early release of West Appin for urban development can be achieved and contribute meaningfully to delivering a productive, liveable and sustainable place in the short, medium and longer-term.
