Finalisation Report – Riverstone Town Centre Rezoning Proposal

The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure has finalised the Riverstone Town Centre Rezoning Proposal.

The Department publicly exhibited the proposal for 28 days from 4 June 2025 to 2 July 2025 and received 359 submissions. Feedback received during exhibition informed the finalisation of the proposal which seeks to create a more liveable, walkable, connected and flood resilient neighbourhood.

Amendments have been made to the Blacktown Local Environmental Plan 2015 (Blacktown LEP 2015) to reflect the zoning changes and enable the delivery of:

approximately 2,850 new homes with 1.5-3% dedicated to affordable housing

increased employment land to support 1,200 jobs

over 10 hectares of new or improved open space

a new main street with retail, dining and shopping areas

improved transport connections

increased building heights ranging from 2 to 15 storeys

a more flood resilient neighbourhood
