The planning pathway
With the finalisation of the planning package, there is now a hierarchy of plans that will guide development in the Western Sydney Aerotropolis.

Planning Reform Action Plan
The Planning Reforms Action Plan is building a better future for the state with a better planning system.

The planning system
Learn how state and local planning legislation regulates land development, determining rules and assessments impacting your property.

Highlights of the plan
Five elements will shape Greater Newcastle into a dynamic and entrepreneurial city with a globally competitive economy and a great lifestyle.

Planning Concierge
The Planning Concierge helps to mediate complex planning problems facing the industry, so projects aren’t held up in the system.

Regional plans
Regional plans set the framework, vision and direction for strategic planning and land use, planning for future needs and connected communities.

Strategic planning
Each council will prepare a local strategic planning statement which will set out the 20-year vision for land-use in the local area.

Planning as a career
A career in planning means you can work for federal, state or local government, or in the private sector, and help shape cities and regional areas across NSW.

Planning performance
The planning performance data displays information about certificates and modification and review of determination for local development applications.

About the plan
The Cumberland Plain Conservation Plan supports western Sydney in the delivery of housing and infrastructure while protecting important biodiversity.
