Cherrybrook Precinct Rezoning Proposal

Overview

What’s this about?

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 feel of the area.

The draft Rezoning Proposal demonstrates the NSW Government’s commitment to deliver well-located homes near transport, jobs and services. 

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.
