CAMDEN COUNCIL • SYDNEY • NSW
CAMDEN TOWN PLANNING
Camden is one of South-West Sydney’s major growth areas, combining rapidly developing new communities with established residential neighbourhoods, historic townships, commercial centres and remaining rural land.
Development across the Camden area can involve a broad range of planning considerations, from new homes, dual occupancies and residential redevelopment through to subdivision, medium-density housing, commercial development, heritage projects and development within rapidly growing urban release areas.
Whether you’re planning a new home, subdivision, residential development, commercial project or heritage development, we provide practical planning advice and professionally prepared Development Application documentation to help navigate Camden Council’s planning requirements with confidence.

DEVELOPING IN CAMDEN
Development within the Camden Council area is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, rapid population growth, major infrastructure investment and the continued expansion of new residential communities across South-West 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 transition of former rural land to new urban 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
Camden is one of South-West Sydney’s fastest-growing local government areas, with development ranging from established residential neighbourhoods and historic townships through to major growth areas, new communities and commercial centres. This combination of established areas and rapid urban expansion 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 and subdivisions through to larger commercial, heritage and growth-area projects.
Experience across residential subdivision, medium-density housing, commercial and industrial development and projects within rapidly growing areas of Western Sydney.
HERITAGE PLANNING
Camden contains a significant collection of heritage-listed properties and places reflecting the area’s Aboriginal, colonial and agricultural history, together with historic townships and rural landscapes that contribute to its distinctive local character.
We prepare Heritage Impact Statements and provide practical heritage advice for alterations and additions, new development and other works affecting heritage items and properties with identified heritage significance.
