Riverstone West Precinct has been rezoned.

Land with the potential for over 12,000 new jobs in Sydney's north west has been planned and rezoned for development.  

Riverstone West Precinct is about 285 hectares, located to the west of the Richmond Rail Line between Riverstone and Vineyard stations, and extending west to Eastern Creek. 

The site currently is home to rural and industrial uses, and includes a small number of residences. It is known locally as the old Riverstone Meatworks site.

Riverstone West Rezoned

The Government Gazette of 7 August 2009 formally rezones Riverstone West by making an Amendment to State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) 2006 (the Growth Centres SEPP).

The Riverstone West Precinct is the first employment Precinct within the North West Growth Centre to be completely planned, publicly exhibited and rezoned via the Government's successful Precinct Planning Process.

A public exhibition of the draft Precinct Plan was held in March and April 2009.  Feedback during this process has led to the rezoning of land which has the potential for 12,000 jobs - a huge boost for Sydney’s north west.

The rezoning is accompanied by a Development Control Plan and an anticipated Voluntary Planning Agreement between the developers and Blacktown City Council. A copy of these documents is available on CD by calling 1300 730 550 or email community@planning.nsw.gov.au. 

Gazettal documents are available below. Maps relating to the rezoning and the Growth Centres planning legislation are available on the NSW legislation website (click on 'maps' from the top menu).  If you would like a copy of the gazettal materials on CD, call 1300 730 550 or email community@planning.nsw.gov.au . 

A catalogue of exhibition material and background reports is listed on the archive under 'publications and information'.

For information on land use zoning and other relevant planning information which may apply to properties in Riverstone West, contact Blacktown City Council and request a Section 149 Planning Certificate.
