The Mamre Road Precinct is located within the Western Sydney Employment Area and was rezoned in June 2020.
The precinct provides about 850 ha of industrial land which could accommodate approximately 5,200 construction jobs and 17,000 ongoing jobs when fully developed. There is also additional land zoned for environmental conservation and open space, and land identified for a potential Western Sydney freight intermodal terminal.
Stormwater and Transport Infrastructure amendments
The NSW Government is exhibiting changes that improve the planning and delivery of stormwater and transport infrastructure in the Mamre Road Precinct, located within the Western Sydney Employment Area.
The changes follow a review by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal to establish the most efficient option for delivering the Mamre Road Precinct Integrated Regional Stormwater Scheme, while still supporting development and protecting the health of waterways in the Wianamatta-South Creek catchment.
Road upgrades to Abbotts and Aldington Roads
The Department has made amendments to State Environmental Planning Policy (Industry and Employment) 2021 to enable upgrade works to Abbotts and Aldington Roads in the Mamre Road Precinct.
The changes were exhibited in an Explanation of Intended Effect from 22 February to 21 March 2024.
The Explanation of Intended Effect details proposed changes to the Industry and Employment SEPP to allow upgrade works to Abbotts Road and Aldington Road shown within the Mamre Road Precinct Development Control Plan.
Thank you to everyone who made submissions during the exhibition. Your feedback has informed the final changes.
For more information on these changes, please visit the NSW Planning Portal.
Mamre Road Precinct Development Control Plan 2021
The Mamre Road Precinct Development Control Plan (DCP) was adopted on Friday 19 November 2021. The plan provides planning controls for future industrial development in the Mamre Road Precinct including building design controls, the road network, drainage strategy and landscaping and biodiversity controls.
The draft development control plan was on public exhibition from 10 November to 17 December 2020. A summary of the submissions and the Department's response is contained in the Finalisation Report available on the NSW Planning Portal.
Mamre Road rezoning
The draft rezoning package for Mamre Road Precinct was on exhibition between 20 November and 18 December 2019. The rezoning was finalised in June 2020.
The package included a draft structure plan, discussion paper and proposed zoning maps.
The finalisation report detailed changes to the State Environmental Planning Policy (Western Sydney Employment Area) 2009 that helped to facilitate industrial development in the Mamre Road Precinct. The finalisation report also outlined post exhibition changes to the package and provided a response to submissions.
The rezoning package, all finalisation documents and all submissions are available on the NSW Planning Portal.
Infrastructure funding
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.
Penrith City Council has adopted a section 7.11 contributions plan for the precinct. It establishes a funding mechanism for local infrastructure, which includes local roads, drainage and local open space. The NSW Government introduced a special infrastructure contribution (SIC) to help pay for new infrastructure in the Western Sydney Aerotropolis and Mamre Road Precinct on 25 March 2022.
To view information about the SIC, including current rates, visit Special Infrastructure Contribution for Western Sydney Aerotropolis.
The Housing and Productivity Contribution was introduced on 1 October 2023, but excludes the Western Sydney Aerotropolis and Western Sydney Growth Areas Special Contributions areas. These are expected to transition to the Housing and Productivity Contribution framework by 1 July 2026.
