Riverstone

Overview

The Department worked closely with Blacktown City Council, stakeholders and the community to take a coordinated approach to planning for new homes and essential infrastructure, to meet community needs in Riverstone.

The new community at Riverstone will benefit from up to 9,000 new homes and the delivery of local amenities close to transport options, including:

three new primary schools and a new K-12 school
the Vineyard and Schofields neighbourhood centres
a new community services hub
upgrades to major roads
improved connections to encourage walking and cycling.

The new neighbourhood will also help create new jobs for local people.

Growth Area

Riverstone is part of the North West Growth Area.
