Liverpool. New LEP to revitalise CBD

The NSW Government has approved a new local environmental plan (LEP) for the entire Liverpool local government area (LGA) that would consolidate its status as one of Sydney’s major ‘regional cities’, said Planning Minister Frank Sartor. “This comprehensive plan continues the work of revitalising the Liverpool CBD. It preserves a commercial core area in the CBD for future business, office and retail growth as well as appropriately expanding local and neighbourhood centres,” he said. The LEP establishes the planning framework to deliver an additional 35,000 jobs and 20,000 new homes within the LGA.
