Penrith City Council has unveiled an exciting 20-year vision for Kingwood-Werrington.

The draft East-West Corridor: Kingswood–Werrington Structure Plan and draft Kingswood–Werrington Place Plan are now on public exhibition for community feedback.

Following the success of Council’s first place-based plan for the East-West Corridor, the St Marys Town Centre Master Plan, Council is now focused on planning the section between Kingswood and Werrington.

Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said the draft plans reflect the ideas and priorities shared by the community during the first round of community consultation. The Structure Plan sets a long term vision, while the Place Plan focuses on practical actions over the short to medium term.

“We heard from residents, businesses and community groups about what they value most about Kingswood and Werrington and what improvements they would like to see in the future,” Cr Carney said.

“We want Kingswood and Werrington to be places where people can move easily and access job opportunities close to home.

“We’re planning for a connected and safe corridor that builds on its strengths. I encourage the community to have their say on the draft plans and help shape the future of Kingswood and Werrington.”

The draft Kingswood–Werrington Structure Plan has been developed following community engagement to understand local priorities, setting a long-term vision to guide how the area grows over the next 20 years. It explores future land use across the corridor, along with opportunities to improve public spaces and infrastructure, deliver new housing, support local jobs and strengthen transport connections.

The draft Kingswood–Werrington Place Plan focuses on practical actions to make the town centres safer, more welcoming and vibrant.

The East-West Corridor runs between Penrith Lakes and St Marys, connecting the Penrith City Centre, St Marys Town Centre and the centres of Kingswood and Werrington.

The Kingswood–Werrington Corridor is expected to welcome more people and jobs in the coming decades and is a key growth area for Penrith. It includes major health, education, employment and residential precincts such as Nepean Hospital, Western Sydney University and TAFE NSW Kingswood.

The public exhibition period is open from Thursday, 28 May until 11:59pm on Friday, 26 June.
