South West Priority Growth Area

Sydney’s South West will form part of the new approach to planning in NSW, following a review by the Department of Planning Industry and Environment in partnership with the Greater Sydney Commission and Government Architect. The decision was made to deliver 51 growth precincts, with the state government able to target areas and local councils empowered to get the correct planning for their community. The precinct planning will occur in four different pathways, being:

  • State-led strategic planning
  • Collaborative planning between the State and councils
  • State-led rezoning
  • Council-led rezoning

The recent projects in Leppington forms part of the South West  Growth Area and will proceed under the Collaborative planning and Council-led rezoning methods:

  • Leppington Precinct Stage 2 and 5 will bring councils, State agencies and the community together to resolve complex issues and drive quality place outcomes.
  • Leppington Town Centre will provide councils and communities with the support they need as they lead the planning for their areas.

Leppington forms part of the South West Growth Area and a Development Control Plan (DCP) was prepared to embed density controls in precinct plans to ensure that infrastructure planning aligns with growth. This Plan is known as the Camden Council Growth Centre Precincts Development Control Plan (DCP), particularly Schedule 5 – Leppington Precinct was adopted and came into force on 3 April 2013 and was recently amended on 24 November 2021 to allow further refinement of stages of the Leppington suburb redevelopment.

Leppington - Stages 2 and 5

 

“The vision for the Leppington Precinct is that a range of housing types will develop to meet the needs of a well-connected and diverse community, supported by local facilities and infrastructure, in a manner that responds to the unique characteristics of the Precinct, including waterways and landform associated with Scalabrini and Kemps Creek and any Aboriginal or European heritage”.

“The Leppington local centre will be the main focus of activity and daily life for the Precinct, providing for community interaction and delivering services and facilities to meet the needs of all residents. Community centres and major community facilities such as schools and sporting fields will provide shopping, jobs, recreation and social opportunities at a more local level for residents. Consideration has been given to ensure proposed school locations align with public recreation facilities through the provision of shared bike and pedestrian paths”. 

“The nearby Leppington Major Centre will create opportunities for residents of the Precinct to take advantage of excellent access to public transport, regional level shopping, entertainment, parks and community facilities in a high quality urban environment. Scalabrini and Kemps Creeks will be important green corridors that integrate biodiversity, water management and passive recreational values, and will present a considerable amenity resource for the community”. 

“Where possible, remnant vegetation will be retained in public parks. Selected parks have been positioned on the high points of the land and will provide views across the Precinct and beyond. The Precinct will be an integral part of the Camden local government area and the South West Priority Growth Centre. It will be linked to surrounding suburbs and to major regional destinations such as the Western Sydney Parklands and the regional centres of Liverpool and Campbelltown”.

Precinct Zoning

The existing zoning will be amended to provide for future infrastructures to facilitate future development within the Leppington Growth Centre Precincts. A new village centre including a supermarket and some community facilities is planned to meet the local shopping needs of future residents.

A new road network has been designed to help provide safe streets for residents, cycling and walking paths, and provide direct access to the village centre. The new roads will enable bus services to connect people to surrounding suburbs and areas for schools, employment, retail, open spaces and services. Pedestrian and cyclist facilities will be constructed along open space and creek corridors that will access the new residential areas.

Green spaces will be integrated with new homes with landscaping and tree planting along streets and in public domain areas and with protected remnant stands of vegetation local residents enjoy.
