The area of Alpha Park proposed to be rezoned  is currently classified as “community” land under the Local Government Act 1993.  The rezoning involves reclassification to “operational”.  That Act requires that when land is proposed to be reclassified Council must hold a public hearing chaired by an independent person.

The public hearing pertaining to the reclassification will be held on Thursday 19 October 2017 in Committee Room 3, Level 5, Blacktown Civic Centre, 62 Flushcombe Road, Blacktown.  If you wish to attend the public hearing you will need to advise our Strategic Planning Section.  This can be done by either telephone, letter or email.
