The Cumberland Plain Conservation Plan (CPCP) facilitates growth in Western Sydney to 2056 and beyond, and delivers important development and biodiversity outcomes.
This plan will contribute to the Western Parkland City by supporting the delivery of housing, jobs and infrastructure while protecting important biodiversity including threatened plants and animals.
What's happening now?
The department has opened applications for the first modification of the CPCP for minor amendments of certified-urban capable land and avoided land. Applications close on 17 April 2023.
The department has released the draft Caring for Country Strategy – Aboriginal Outcomes Strategy and is seeking feedback from Western Sydney’s Aboriginal communities.
The department has also released the draft CPCP Research Program Implementation Strategy and is seeking feedback from conservation and restoration experts or knowledge holders in research, government, industry and the community.
Both strategies are open for feedback until 24 February 2023.
