West Schofields

West Schofields has been identified as a priority precinct in the North West Growth Area to support the growth in population. 

The West Schofields 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 West Schofields 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 provide a diverse mix of new homes in a more flood resilient community that is better connected to jobs, transport, open space and essential services. 

Highlights of the draft proposal will enable:

• approximately 2,900 homes on land that is less impacted by flooding, providing a range of housing options
• almost 170 hectares of open space to service the precinct and the surrounding areas
• new shopping and dining areas on Meadow Road with businesses and light industrial on South Street
• inclusion of cultural values and connections to Country
• over 60 hectares set aside for environmental conservation and protection of riparian corridors
• improved transport connections, including roads, cycleways and pedestrian pathways.

More information about the proposal is available on the Department’s website.
