Cherrybrook precinct state-led rezoning proposal

New walking and cycling connections will make it easier to move around the precinct and access the Cherrybrook metro station, while new local parks will be delivered in each green neighbourhood. 

Development will support a new town centre located next to the metro station, featuring new retail, commercial, and community facilities. 

Highlights of the draft Cherrybrook Precinct Rezoning Proposal include: 

• Approximately 5,200 new homes to be delivered over the next 20 years, based on forecasted development rates. The Rezoning Proposal provides total development capacity for approximately 9,350 new homes within walking distance of the metro station
• 5% affordable rental housing on private land, rising to 10% in the town centre. This will allow approximately 535 new affordable homes within the precinct
• 4.5 hectares of new public open spaces across 5 new local parks
• Preservation of the ecologically threatened Blue Gum High Forest by incorporating the forest into new areas of public open space
• A natural transition of building heights from the town centre to adjoining residential neighbourhoods. This includes a maximum of 28 storeys in the town centre with a gradual reduction to 3 storeys on the edge of the precinct.
