Policy and legislation
We’re collaborating to create resilient communities and great places.

Far West
The NSW Government’s vision for the Far West is to create communities that can adapt to change, supported by a diverse economy, the right infrastructure and an exceptional natural environment.

Greater Penrith to Eastern Creek
Western Sydney is growing and being transformed to meet the needs of a bigger and changing population. As part of this, the NSW Government is helping to build new communities and infrastructure in the Greater Penrith to Eastern Creek area.

Local infrastructure contributions policy
Contributions for local infrastructure are charged by councils when new development occurs.

2023 September formal enforcements
The department conducts inspection and enforcement activities for compliance. Read the details of the formal enforcements conducted in January 2023.

Employment lands
Employment lands are areas zoned for industrial or similar purposes, providing essential land for the delivery of goods, utilities and urban services.

Glenfield to Macarthur Urban Renewal Precincts
The Draft Corridor Strategy looks additional housing and job opportunities between Glenfield and Macarthur, and infrastructure to support future growth.

Townson Road
We are working with local councils, agencies and communities to help provide new homes in the north west of Sydney that are close to jobs, parks, schools and services.

Regionally significant development
Regionally significant development has a larger investment value, scale and complexity. Approval for this development is determined by an independent panel.

Turner Road
The new revitalised community at Turner Road will benefit from up to 4,020 new homes and the delivery of local amenities close to transport options.
