Fairfield City is a diverse and established part of Western Sydney, combining residential neighbourhoods, major commercial centres, industrial and employment areas and locations experiencing continued redevelopment and growth.

Development across the City can involve a broad range of planning considerations, from new homes, dual occupancies and residential redevelopment through to subdivision, multi-dwelling and higher-density housing, commercial development and industrial projects.

DEVELOPING IN FAIRFIELD

Understanding the Fairfield
Planning Controls

Development within Fairfield City is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, established residential neighbourhoods, ongoing redevelopment, major commercial and industrial areas and a diverse range of environmental constraints.

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 and stormwater, heritage, biodiversity and infrastructure servicing. Residential development can also require careful consideration of neighbourhood character, privacy, setbacks, landscaping and the relationship between new development and surrounding properties.

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:
