Riverstone Town Centre

The Rezoning Proposal, Explanation of Intended Effect, and accompanying documents were exhibited from 4 June 2025 until 2 July 2025. Feedback received during the exhibition period will inform its assessment, with a final determination expected in early 2026.

Key features of the Rezoning Proposal include:

• approximately 3,600 new homes including a minimum of 1.5% affordable housing
• up to 5 ha of employment land and 1,200 jobs
• over 8 ha of new or improved open space including a sports oval
• a new main street along George Street with retail, dining and shopping areas
• improved transport connections including an upgraded station area, cycleways and pedestrian pathways
• increased building heights from between 2 to 15 storeys
• an improved flood resilient neighbourhood.

The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (the Department) worked with Blacktown City Council (Council) and other Government agencies when we prepared the Rezoning Proposal for the Riverstone Town Centre that considers previous planning proposals as well as Council’s master plan.

More information about plans for the Riverstone Town Centre is available on the Department’s website.
