BLACKTOWN COUNCIL • SYDNEY • NSW
BLACKTOWN TOWN PLANNING
Blacktown City is one of Western Sydney’s largest and fastest-growing areas, combining established residential neighbourhoods with major growth precincts, new communities, commercial centres and extensive industrial and employment lands.
Development across the City can involve a broad range of planning considerations, from new homes, dual occupancies and residential redevelopment through to subdivision, medium-density housing, commercial and industrial projects and development within rapidly growing urban areas.
Whether you’re planning a new home, subdivision, residential development, commercial or industrial project, we provide practical planning advice and professionally prepared Development Application documentation to help navigate Blacktown City Council’s planning requirements with confidence.

DEVELOPING IN BLACKTOWN
Development within Blacktown City is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, rapid population growth, major infrastructure investment and the continued expansion of residential, commercial and employment areas across Western Sydney.
Depending on the location and nature of the proposal, development may require consideration of zoning, building height and density, minimum lot size, subdivision, traffic and access, flooding, biodiversity, bushfire, heritage and infrastructure servicing. Development within growth areas can also involve additional requirements relating to land release, infrastructure delivery and the creation of new communities.
Understanding these considerations early can help identify potential planning issues, inform the design process and establish a clearer pathway for a Development Application.
Some of the issues we regularly consider include:
LOCAL EXPERIENCE. BEST RESULTS
Blacktown is one of Sydney’s largest and fastest-growing local government areas, with development ranging from established residential neighbourhoods through to major growth areas, commercial centres and industrial precincts. This diversity makes experienced planning advice particularly valuable.
With more than 20 years of town planning experience across Sydney and NSW, we bring practical knowledge of development assessment, planning controls and Council processes to projects ranging from individual residential developments through to more complex commercial and industrial proposals.
Experience across residential subdivision, medium-density housing, commercial and industrial development and projects within rapidly growing areas of Western Sydney.
HERITAGE PLANNING
Blacktown City contains a diverse range of heritage-listed properties and places reflecting the area’s Aboriginal, colonial, agricultural and more recent development history.
