The North West and South West Growth Centres were identified for greenfield land release by the NSW Government in 2005, with first release Precincts formally released for planning in 2006.

The Growth Centres will eventually provide around 181,000 dwellings and $7.5 billion in infrastructure for about half a million new residents within the North West and South West Growth Centres.

The Department of Planning works with infrastructure agencies, industry, local councils,  landowners and the community to make the plans for the Growth Centres a reality.

The Department will consult with councils and landowners in developing the plans for each precinct in the Growth Centres.  This will result in new zonings and controls for the precincts. Councils will identify what types of local infrastructure are required in the precincts, such as parks, community facilities, drainage and local roads.
