Schofields. Mixed use for airport

The NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure has included the historic 148-hectare Schofields Aerodrome site, at Nirimba, in its planning process for the Schofields Precinct. A DOP spokesman said technical studies were nearing completion and a precinct planning report would be finalised along with proposed zoning maps and a draft development control plans. The aerodrome site, built during World War II and owned by the federal government, is set to be developed into a major residential and commercial area.
