Penrith City Council is publicly exhibiting amendments to Penrith Local Environmental Plan 2010 to reclassify three Council-owned sites from Community Land to Operational Land and to remove the public reserve status for these properties.

The proposal relates to three Council-owned sites that are currently classified as Community Land:

• Site 1 - 12A Champness Crescent, St Marys
• Site 2 - 32A Champness Crescent, St Marys
• Site 3 - 110A Dunheved Circuit, St Marys

The proposed amendments will enable Council to evaluate and activate the potential future uses for these sites and to assist Council to meet its strategic goals of urban revitalisation, economic development, delivering housing supply, and employment.

At its Ordinary Meeting of 3 March 2025, Council resolved to place the Planning Proposal on public exhibition.

The NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure is the local plan making authority under Section 3.36 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

The Planning Proposal and supporting information are on public exhibition from Thursday 5 June 2025 to Monday 7 July 2025 and can be viewed:

• Online: at yoursaypenrith.com.au

Please include a subject line indicating ‘Planning Proposal – Reclassification of Three Sites in St Marys’ in your submission.
