WOLLONDILLY SHIRE • SOUTH WEST SYDNEY • NSW
WOLLONDILLY TOWN PLANNING
Wollondilly is one of South West Sydney’s major growth areas, combining rapidly developing communities around Wilton and Appin with established towns and villages, rural residential areas, agricultural land and extensive environmentally sensitive areas. Growth across the region is also being influenced by major infrastructure investment associated with Western Sydney International Airport and the broader Aerotropolis.
Development across the Shire can involve very different planning considerations depending on the location, ranging from residential development and subdivision within established towns through to rural dwellings, agricultural development, commercial and industrial projects and development within emerging growth areas.
We provide practical planning advice and professionally prepared Development Application documentation tailored to the site and proposal, helping identify key planning issues early and navigate Wollondilly Shire Council’s planning requirements with confidence.

DEVELOPING IN WOLLONDILLY SHIRE
Development within Wollondilly Shire is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, significant population growth, environmental constraints and the diverse residential, rural and agricultural character of the area.
Depending on the location and nature of the proposal, development may require consideration of zoning, minimum lot size, subdivision, dwelling entitlement, bushfire, flooding, biodiversity, agricultural land, access and infrastructure servicing. Development within growth areas and land influenced by the Western Sydney Aerotropolis can also involve additional requirements relating to land release, infrastructure delivery, strategic planning 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.
LOCAL EXPERIENCE. BEST RESULTS
Wollondilly presents a unique mix of planning challenges, with rapidly developing growth areas sitting alongside established towns, rural residential communities, agricultural land and environmentally sensitive areas. The planning pathway for a project in Wilton can therefore be very different to a rural dwelling, subdivision or agricultural development elsewhere in the Shire.
Our experience across both metropolitan and regional NSW allows us to provide practical planning advice for this diverse development environment, identifying potential issues early and preparing clear, professionally supported documentation to help navigate the assessment process.
Experience across residential subdivision, medium-density housing, commercial and industrial development and projects within rapidly growing areas of Western Sydney.
HERITAGE PLANNING
Wollondilly Shire contains a diverse range of heritage-listed properties, historic town centres and places reflecting the area’s early settlement, agricultural and railway history. Picton, Thirlmere and other established towns and villages contain buildings and streetscapes where heritage considerations can influence new development, alterations and additions.
We prepare Heritage Impact Statements and provide practical heritage planning advice for works affecting heritage-listed properties, development within heritage conservation areas and proposals that may affect the significance or setting of nearby heritage items.
