A rezoning proposal for the Cherrybrook Precinct is now available for public feedback.
Have your say: Cherrybrook Precinct Rezoning Proposal
We have placed a rezoning proposal for the Cherrybrook Precinct on public exhibition until 5pm Friday 5 December 2025.
The Cherrybrook Precinct Rezoning Proposal provides a vision for a
well-connected, walkable urban community characterised by ‘green
neighbourhoods’, with increased tree canopy coverage to retain the leafy
quality of the area.
New walking and cycling connections will make it easier to move around
the precinct and access the Cherrybrook metro station, while new local
parks will be delivered in each green neighbourhood.
Highlights of the draft Cherrybrook Precinct Rezoning Proposal include:
Approximately 5,200 new homes to be delivered over the next 20 years
based on forecasted development rates. The Rezoning Proposal provides
total development capacity for approximately 9,350 new homes within
walking distance of the metro station
5% affordable rental housing on private land, rising to 10% in the
town centre. This will allow approximately 535 new affordable homes
within the precinct
4.5 hectares of new public open spaces across 5 new local parks
Preservation of the ecologically threatened Blue Gum High Forest by
incorporating the forest into new areas of public open space
A natural transition of building heights from the town centre to
adjoining residential neighbourhoods. This includes a maximum of 28
storeys in the town centre, with a gradual reduction to 3 storeys on the
edge of the precinct.
The draft Rezoning Proposal demonstrates
the NSW Government’s commitment to deliver well-located homes near
transport, jobs and services.
