Consultation has concluded

Background

In 2019, Council completed our Local Strategic Planning Statement Connective City 2036. This document set out a high-level land-use vision for Canterbury-Bankstown, including a centres approach to growth.

A centres approach to growth means that most of Council’s future jobs and housing growth will occur in existing centres with infrastructure and transport access. To ensure this growth is well planned, we are preparing place-based master plans. These master plans will help ensure that our centres are vibrant, prosperous and attractive places that the community can be proud of.

We have completed master plans for our City’s two largest centres, Bankstown and Campsie. Council is now planning for three of its local centres Lakemba, Belmore and Canterbury, and one of our small village centres, Belfield.

    Planning Proposal

    If supported by Council, staff will prepare a planning proposal to implement the Master Plan. A Planning Proposal will formally change the planning controls (including land zoning, building heights and other controls) applying to the centre. This planning proposal will be submitted to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment for a Gateway Determination, seeking approval for public exhibition.*

    *Before a planning proposal goes on formal exhibition, it must go through the ‘Gateway Process’. The ‘Gateway Process’ refers to assessment of the Planning Proposal by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment.

    A ‘Gateway Determination’ is issued when the NSW Department of Planning and Environment decide that a planning proposal can progress to the next stage of the plan making process.
