Blacktown. Progress on precincts

Substantial progress has been made towards finalising the rezoning of two precincts in Sydney’s North West Growth Centre, said the Minister for Planning, Tony Kelly, who toured the area with Charlie Lowles, mayor of Blacktown City Council. “We discussed the rezoning of Riverstone and Alex Avenue precincts for urban development so land for more than 15,000 homes and 45,000 residents can be made available over the next two decades, The North West Growth Centre will be home to an extra 200,000 people over the next 25 years and these two precincts together will house almost a quarter of that population increase,” Mr Kelly said
