St Marys. Estate should be top priority

The Dunheved industrial area, in St Marys, should be one of the highest priority areas for potential jobs growth, Opposition planning spokesman, Brad Hazzard, said after touring the business park at the request of the Penrith Valley Chamber of Commerce. He criticised the Department of Planning for not spending money on moving the industrial area forward. A spokesman for the Minister for Planning, Khristine Keneally said there was "every chance'' she might visit the site depending on certain factors. A council spokesman said it had applied twice, unsuccessfully, for funding for a master plan for the revitalisation of the business park. Chamber president, Peter McGhee, said the chamber wanted to lift the area's profile. “It's about creating more jobs. All we're asking for is an overall master plan,'' he said in the Penrith Star

St Marys. Turn now for Dunheved Estate

Now that the State Government has given the go-ahead for the $80 million Erskine Park Link Road, Penrith Valley Chamber of Commerce CEO, Jill Woods, hopes Dunheved Business Park will be the next priority project. Planning Minister Kristina Keneally pledged support for the area when she attended a chamber lunch in May. “We've advised the Planning Minister how thrilled we were with link road and are now moving to develop our relationship with the Department of Planning. We want the right outcome for the Dunheved area,” Ms Woods said in the Penrith Star.
