Catchment 2

Catchment 2 is mainly a suburban catchment with a number of urban centres and regional open spaces. The catchment is predominantly characterised by low density, suburban housing forms, with some higher density development concentrated around stations (including Padstow, Revesby, Panania and East Hills).

In 2021, the population was 62,322 residents, forecast to increase to 65,005 in 2026, and 69,000+ in 2036 representing an increase of 4 percent. This is a relatively lower rate of population growth compared with other catchments within the LGA.

In terms of quantum and distribution, the catchment is well provisioned with 20 community facilities and 13 public toilets. However, these are characterised by small, underutilised, older facilities.

These facilities are generally concentrated in local centres and accessible by public transport. Some of these community facilities are leased to a single user group and generally not available to other users. A list of these facilities, their remaining service life and condition is provided in Figure 2.

At the time of preparation of this Plan there are five Registered and Licensed Clubs within the Catchment located in Padstow, Panania, Picnic Point and Revesby. There are 18 public schools and four independent schools within the catchment.

This catchment is undergoing comparatively low levels of population growth to 2036. However, it is a large area with older facilities nearing the end of their service life which will require renewal to ensure that the existing and future community needs are met. Key directions include consolidation and renewal of existing facilities into new multipurpose facilities in Panania, Revesby and Padstow local centres, a new district level library to replace the existing offerings with supporting study spaces across the catchment, new multipurpose facility with a youth focus and provision of standalone community facilities for specialised uses.
