The NSW Department of Planning and Environment has released designs for the Western Sydney Aerotropolis and called on the public to help shape what is set to become the State’s newest city.
The Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, Rob Stokes said the Aerotropolis Plan set the “vision” for the region and provided a roadmap for the rezoning of individual precincts.
“The Aerotropolis will be Sydney’s newest economic hub and will be a 30-minute city, where people live close to jobs, schools, health services and high-quality open space,” Mr Stokes said.
“With construction of the airport underway, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a brand new city and we want the community to be part of the process,” he said.
Mr Stokes said the Aerotropolis would be a thriving economic hub for the region with 17 global and regional partners ready to move in.
He said the next phase of planning paved the way for land to be rezoned by mid next year.
Mr Stokes said a draft planning package that included the Aerotropolis’ overarching strategy, a policy to give statutory effect to the strategy, and a technical guide for the design of future development in the area would be on exhibition until 28 February, 2020.
