"Draft terms of reference for the strategic assessment of Sydney’s growth centres have been released by the New South Wales Government. The Department of Planning is undertaking the assessment of the North West and South West Growth Centres under the terms of the Federal Government’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. It will assess the impact of urban development on areas of national environmental significance within the centres.
The North West and South West Growth Centres are areas which will accommodate 181,000 new dwellings and land for employment for about half a million new residents over the next 25 to 30 years. The North West Growth Centre will contain about 70,000 new dwellings and the South West Growth Centre will have the capacity for around 110,000 new dwellings.
The draft terms of reference will be on display until December 23."
