Planning proposals
Marsden Park North Precinct
Blacktown
Marsden Park North has been identified as a priority precinct in the North West Growth Area to support local employment.
The Marsden Park North Rezoning Proposal, Explanation of Intended Effect, and accompanying documents were exhibited from 17 November 2025 until 30 January 2026. Feedback received during the exhibition period will be considered in finalising the proposal.
The Marsden Park North Rezoning Proposal aims to amend the relevant controls in the State Environmental Planning Policy (Precincts – Central River City) 2021 and Blacktown Local Environmental Plan 2015 to enable the development of a new employment precinct as well as a residential precinct in the south surrounded by existing homes.
Highlights of the draft proposal include:
- approximately 260 hectares of employment land for almost 3,900 new local jobs
- around 960 homes on land that is less impacted by flooding
- close to 60 hectares of open space including 5 new double playing fields
- protection of more than 80 hectares of conservation land and riparian corridors
- inclusion of cultural values and connections to Country
- new transport links including roads, cycleways and footpaths.
More information about the proposal is available on the Department’s website.
