Blacktown City Mayor, Brad Bunting says the NSW Government’s decision to move away from its plan to add many thousands of new homes to Glenwood and Stanhope Gardens without adequate infrastructure is a win for common sense and the community.
The NSW Government’s revised Bella Vista and Kellyville rezoning proposal, which was unveiled today with the release of masterplans for its Transport Oriented Development (TOD) Accelerated Precincts, has removed Glenwood and Stanhope Gardens from the area and dramatically scaled down the new homes planned from 20,700 to 4,600.
“The NSW Government decision to remove Glenwood and Stanhope Gardens from the rezoning is a win for common sense,” said Mayor Bunting.
“I heard from many residents who were concerned about the lack of infrastructure planned to accompany the proposed development.
“I’m pleased Council and local representatives were able to advocate and achieve a better outcome for our community, and I thank the NSW Government for its response.”
The Department of Planning received 5,390 submissions about the Bella Vista and Kellyville rezoning proposal.
In addition to the reduced housing target, the changes to the Bella Vista and Kellyville rezoning proposal will include more parks and trees.
