Housing is a key priority for the NSW Government. Currently, there is a shortage of diverse and affordable homes in well-located areas, close to where people live and work, and close to transport and other amenities.
Kellyville and Bella Vista have been identified as accelerated precincts under the Transport Oriented Development (TOD) Program.
The Kellyville and Bella Vista precincts, including Stanhope Gardens and Glenwood, are well-positioned to support more homes. These precincts are located next to metro stations and are within walking distance of key public transport interchanges, promoting walking and cycling opportunities. The planning and delivery of new infrastructure means the Kellyville and Bella Vista precincts can support more homes under the TOD program.
As part of the TOD program, we have reviewed the planning controls in Kellyville and Bella Vista to determine which areas of the precincts are suitable to support more homes.
