Proposed Rezoning - Wilton Industrial Park

Last year Council received a draft Planning Proposal seeking to rezone land in the Wilton Growth Area on Wilton Park Road and Berwick Park Road, Wilton, for general industrial (employment uses), while maintaining the existing rural zone on land identified for conservation under the Cumberland Plain Conservation Plan.

The site of the proposal includes nine lots located at 10, 20, 30 Berwick Park Road and 25, 45, 55, 75, 85, 95 Wilton Park Road, Wilton.

It is 108 hectares in size and located to the southwest of the Picton Rd and Hume Highway interchange, immediately south of the site for the Wilton Town Centre.

Proposed Changes

The Proposal seeks to rezone land on part of the site from RU2 Rural Landscape to E4 General Industrial to potentially facilitate 1,511 local jobs and 21.5ha of employment space in the form of 12 warehouse and distribution buildings.

Other amendments being sought within this part of the site are:

  • Changes to the minimum lot size from 16ha to 1,500m2
  • Changes to the height of building ranging from 16m to 20m

The western and southern part of the site, adjacent to the Nepean River, are to be rezoned C2 Environmental Conservation per the Cumberland Plain Conservation Plan.

Following preliminary consultation and consideration of other factors, Council has resolved to support the draft proposal with additional conditions. It has now been lodged with the State Government for a Gateway Determination. If granted this would lead to a Public Exhibition of the Proposal, which would provide a second opportunity for the community and agencies to give feedback.

Enquiries

Further enquiries can be made to Adam Hogan, Strategic Planner - Growth, on 4677 1100 or growth@wollondilly.nsw.gov.au
