The Bradfield City Centre Master Plan prepared by Bradfield Development Authority was approved by the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces in September 2024.
The master plan will help achieve the vision of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis Plan to create an accessible, innovative and connected city with great places.
The plan will guide the delivery of:
- up to 10,000 homes, with at least 10% affordable housing
- more than 20,000 jobs
- over 2 million sqm of mixed-use gross floor area
- more than 36 hectares of public open space and green space
- a high level of connectivity and transport links with the city centre located within 400m of the Bradfield Metro station.
The master plan provides further information on mixed-use development, future road networks and areas identified for open space and parkland within the city centre.
The plan also includes changes to planning controls in State Environmental Planning Policy (Precincts – Western Parkland City) 2021, Western Sydney Aerotropolis Precinct Plan and Western Sydney Aerotropolis Development Control Plan (DCP) – Phase 2.
No building or construction works are proposed to be undertaken as part of the master plan. All future development would be subject to separate planning applications.
The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure publicly exhibited the draft master plan prepared by Bradfield Development Authority for public comment between 5 February and 4 March 2024.
- general amendments to the master plan to improve the structure, layout and description of planning controls
- an additional control requiring residential development to provide at least 10% affordable housing
- additional controls in relation to wind impacts, road network design and travel demand, public art, design excellence, flood risk and complying development
- changes to figures in the Precinct Plan including street hierarchy, total water cycle and design competition maps.
