Delivering the plan – Cumberland Plain Conservation Plan

About the plan

The Cumberland Plain Conservation Plan (CPCP) has been finalised. The NSW Government approved it in August 2022; the Australian Government approved it in March 2024.

The CPCP has 26 commitments and 131 actions designed to improve ecological resilience and protect biodiversity in western Sydney by 2056.

We have released the first Cumberland Plain Conservation Plan annual update (PDF, 11.4 MB).
