New suburb for Western Sydney  

A new suburb south of the new airport site will be created with plans for over 30,000 new dwellings.

The suburb of South Creek West will be established on 10 hectares on either side of the Northern Road, now being upgraded as part of a $3.6 billion road building program in the area, and on land earmarked for a potential extension of the South West Rail Link.

Minister for Planning Anthony Roberts said the land release at South Creek West, just south of the proposed Western Sydney Airport, would help create communities supported by new town centres, schools, health facilities, public transport, road upgrades, environmental conservation areas and quality green space, shaded by a canopy of about 1,000 new trees.

The area will also be subject to the Western Sydney City Deal once the detail of the deal is released in the coming months.

The Department will work closely with Camden Council, key state agencies, landowners and the community to assess the: 

• Local character and landscape of the area, including how a tree canopy can be established to meet the NSW Government’s target of five trees for every new house; 
• Important environmental values, including heritage, waterways and natural vegetation to be identified and protected; 
• Social and economic connections to other communities, including the Oran Park Town Centre, to identify new community infrastructure; and 
• Integration with transport infrastructure, including the upgraded Northern Road, the proposed new Outer Sydney Orbital and the potential extension of the South West Rail link.
