NSW and Inner West Agree on Parramatta Road Rezoning to Unlock Up to 8,000 Homes

A state‑led, 12–18 month rezoning program now heads to public exhibition with no compulsory acquisitions planned.

Overview

  • The plan focuses on sections of Parramatta Road in the Inner West, starting between Leichhardt and Camperdown within 10 kilometres of the CBD.
  • Rezoning is likely to allow mid‑ to high‑rise development of roughly six to 20 storeys, subject to detailed planning controls.
  • The Department of Planning will lead the process in partnership with Inner West Council, which is due to vote on 22 September.
  • Affordable housing, active transport links, new open space and public‑domain upgrades will be examined, with prior deals trading extra height for discounted key‑worker units at the WestConnex Dive site.
  • The initiative forms part of the Minns government’s broader housing push near existing transport to help meet National Housing Accord targets.
