At its Extraordinary Meeting of 29 January 2025, Council resolved to make some amendments to the adopted Burwood North Masterplan as part of addressing Council’s alternative response to NSW Government's Croydon TOD program. The Burwood North Masterplan was originally adopted by Council on 21 May 2024.

Council at the Extraordinary Meeting of 29 January 2025 resolved to adopt and submit Option 4 (as noted in the Council report of 29 January 2025) as its alternate response to the NSW Government's Croydon TOD program.

Option 4 is a refined, lower-density masterplan that increases dwelling capacity under the planning controls to the north of Croydon Station. As discussed in the Council report, in order to meet the NSW Government’s intended dwelling target for Croydon TOD, the report recommended redistributing any unmet dwelling capacity targets to the adopted Burwood North Masterplan area.

A copy of the Council report, detailing the proposed amendments to Burwood North Masterplan ((Figure 9) and resolution can be found at https://burwood.infocouncil.biz/.

Council is currently awaiting a final decision from the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure on Council’s alternative response to Croydon TOD and the proposed amendments to Burwood North Masterplan.

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.
