URBIS in collaboration with Campbelltown City Council have released the Campbelltown City Centre Master Plan blueprint.
The master plan reinforces Campbelltown City Centre’s role as the metropolitan centre for the Macarthur region, which is expected to be home to 800,000 people by 2040.
Campbelltown Mayor George Brticevic said the master plan is unlike any of its kind.
“This masterplan has crunched the numbers to show how the delivery of open spaces, the urban design theme and infrastructure can positively influence employment, lifestyle and the sustainability of our city and its community within the next 20 years,” said Cr Brticevic.
Urbis NSW regional director, Princess Ventura said that by providing a framework for thriving Campbelltown, Macarthur and Leumeah centres, the master plan includes the essential ingredients to ensure the resilience of the region and swift recovery from the economic and social impacts of COVID-19.
Urbis director Madonna Locke said that working together with the Greater Sydney Commission, Campbelltown City Council, NSW government, industry and community stakeholders ensured that the Master Plan used stakeholder informed insights for one of the most vital ingredients for Campbelltown-Macarthur as a metropolitan centre – liveability.
“In the past, a city’s performance and appeal was measured purely in economic terms, the master plan reflects the fact that today liveability and lifestyle factors are just as important in supporting a city’s success and a thriving population,” Locke said.
The plan is now available for public consultation.
