Proposed Rezoning - Picton Employment Lands

A draft planning proposal has been lodged with Council to rezone land in Picton for commercial and general industrial uses. It is anticipated that this proposed rezoning will ultimately yield over 1,000 local jobs for Wollondilly.

The proposed rezoning includes land at:

  • 5 Stilton Lane, Picton (Lot 10/ DP583245)
  • 15 Stilton Lane, Picton (Lot 2/ DP583247)
  • 465 Argyle Street, Picton (Lot 141/ DP997490)
  • 467 Argyle Street, Picton (Lot 1/ DP537245)
  • 469 Argyle Street, Picton (Lot 15/ DP1105675)
  • 475 Argyle Street, Picton (Lot 16/ DP979250)
  • 485 Argyle Street, Picton (Lot 1/ DP207443)
  • 28 Wonga Road, Picton (Lot 2/ DP570466)
  • 18 Wonga Road, Picton (Lot 910/ DP1121899)
  • 2225 Remembrance Driveway, Picton (Lot 911/ DP1121899)


Proposed Changes

The proposed changes include:

  • Change in landuse zone from Rural Landscape (RU2) to Productivity Support (E3), General Industrial (E4) and Environment Conservation (C2)
  • Change in minimum lot size from 16ha and 100ha to 1500m2 for the E3 and E4 zones.


It is important to note that Council officers have not assessed this proposal, nor has the elected Council considered or formed a view on the proposal.

This preliminary consultation is to spread awareness of the proposal and to seek community feedback prior to the proposal being assessed and being reported to the Local Planning Panel and Council. The assessment and reports will include community feedback received during this preliminary consultation period.


To help guide the planning proposal process, Council would like to hear your thoughts on key elements of the concept, including:

  • The type of employment land use proposed
  • Transport access
  • Impact on the existing Picton area.

The draft planning proposal is open for preliminary consultation from Wednesday 26 February to Wednesday 26 March 2025.
