  • a planning proposal was prepared to implement the Masterplan by amendments to planning controls in Blacktown Local Environmental Plan 2015. The Planning Proposal was exhibited between 15 January - 21 February 2020 and can be viewed here.
  • Council adopted the final planning proposal in November 2021 and submitted it to the NSW Government for approval.
