The Mamre Road Precinct is within the Western Sydney Employment Area and was rezoned in June 2020.
The Precinct provides about 850 hectares of industrial land which could accommodate about 5,200 construction jobs and 17,000 ongoing jobs when fully developed. The rezoning of the precinct preserves around 95 hectares of land for environmental conservation and open space and protects a site for a potential Western Sydney freight intermodal terminal (IMT).
The draft Development Control Plan (DCP) provides planning controls for future development in the Mamre Road Precinct including building design controls, a road network, drainage strategy and landscaping and biodiversity controls.
The draft DCP was on public exhibition from 10 November to 17 December 2020.
Thank you to everyone who made submissions to the exhibition. All feedback and submissions will be carefully considered in finalisation of the DCP.
The draft rezoning package for Mamre Road Precinct was on exhibition between 20 November and 18 December 2019.
The package included a draft structure plan, discussion paper and proposed zoning maps.
The finalisation report details changes to the State Environmental Planning Policy (Western Sydney Employment Area) 2009 (WSEA SEPP) that will help to facilitate industrial development in the Mamre Road Precinct. The finalisation report also outlines post exhibition changes to the package and provides a response to submissions.
The changes to the WSEA SEPP and introduction of the Mamre Road Precinct structure plan will ensure that:
The rezoning package, all finalisation documents and all submissions are available on the Planning Portal.
We are continuing to work with landowners, Penrith City Council and Government agencies to enable development in the precinct and the delivery of key infrastructure.
A section 7.12 plan for the precinct is also being prepared by Penrith City Council. It will establish a funding mechanism for local infrastructure, which includes local roads, drainage and local open space. A draft section 7.12 plan is expected to be exhibited in 2020.
The draft WSEA Special Infrastructure Contribution (SIC) will still apply to the precinct. However, the Aerotropolis SIC will replace it when introduced after consultation. The draft Aerotropolis SIC is on exhibition until 26 February 2021. The proposed SIC outlines how the cost of infrastructure in the Aerotropolis will be supported through developer contributions, including the Mamre Road Precinct.
