PLANNING PROGRESS TO DATE
Leppington Town Centre was initially rezoned
in 2013. The idea was that it would develop as a
business, industrial and commercial hub, focused
on an extensive business park. It was anticipated
that Leppington Town Centre could deliver
between 7,000 and 12,500 jobs and at least
3,000 dwellings by 2036. However, Leppington
Town Centre has been slow to develop.
The councils commissioned a range of
background studies to better understand market
demand and feasibility for residential and retail
development over time. These studies have
underpinned the zoning and other planning
controls in the draft plan.
Initial community consultation was undertaken
in 2021 to help inform the vision. You can learn

In 2014, the Federal Government announced
the Western Sydney International Airport, less
than 20 km from Leppington Town Centre. The
Aerotropolis, which surrounds the future airport
is planned to include many of the enterprise and
light industrial uses that were to be developed in
Leppington.
In 2017, the NSW Department of Planning and
Environment (DPE) commenced a review of the
planning controls in the Leppington Town Centre.
At Council meetings in late 2022, Liverpool City
Council and Camden Council considered the
draft planning proposal for Leppington Town
Centre. Following consideration by the State
Government, the draft Planning Proposal can
proceed to public exhibition.
Responsibility for the review was transferred to
Camden Council and Liverpool City Council in
2019.
