Burwood Council has prepared a draft Masterplan for the Burwood North Precinct, building upon the work undertaken as part of the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy (PRCUTS) and to capture the opportunity presented by the delivery of Sydney Metro West.

This offers us a unique opportunity to craft a new vision and strategic direction for the Burwood North Precinct.

In December 2022 Burwood Council commenced work on the development of a masterplan that would inform the planning framework to deliver a new and vibrant neighbourhood at Burwood North..

The Masterplan will set a long-term vision and strategic directions to make sure future growth is well planned, sustainable and meets the changing needs of our community. Within 10 minutes of Parramatta and the Sydney CBD, the new metro is stimulating new opportunities to build on the lifestyle, cultural and economic offerings of Burwood.

The Masterplan will be used to inform new planning controls in an update to Burwood Local Environmental Plan 2012 and Burwood Development Control Plan. It will also have recommendations that could be included in broader strategic directions of Burwood Council.

We sought our community's views to understand:

• What makes Burwood North unique and interesting?
• What needs improvement?
• What are your ideas for growth and change in the future?

The draft Burwood North Precinct Masterplan has been released for the purpose of seeking the community's feedback. At this stage no decisions have been made and we are eager to hear what the community has to say.

We invite you to take an active role in shaping the future of the Burwood North Precinct. The draft Burwood North Precinct Masterplan presents a vision for a liveable, vibrant, sustainable, and well-planned community that benefits residents, attracts investment, and creates job opportunities for both current and future generations.
