Project details

We’re working with the NSW Government to deliver up to 8000 new homes along the Parramatta Road Corridor. This will ensure that new housing in our community is more fairly distributed across the Inner West and our high value heritage conservation areas are protected.

We want to hear from you about what new housing, spaces and amenities you want to see built and created there.

We’ll take your feedback and pass it on to the NSW Government to consider while they design their State-Significant Development Proposal.

Project background

On 14 September 2025, Inner West Council announced a partnership with the NSW Government to deliver up to 8000 new homes along the Parramatta Road Corridor.

To do this, the NSW Government, will consider a range of matters including affordable housing, active transport, open space, retail and commercial opportunities and improved public spaces.

As part of this process, Inner West Council is asking the community to share your priorities for the area. This will be passed onto the NSW Government to inform their draft plan.

The NSW Government will release their draft plan later in 2026 for further community feedback.

C0925(1) Item 37         Notice of Motion: Delivering new homes in the Parramatta Road
         Corridor

Motion: (Byrne/Scott)

1.   That Council seek a partnership with the NSW Government to undertake further residential rezoning of the Parramatta Road corridor, with the aim of delivering up to 8000 new homes in the section of the corridor within the Inner West local government area.

a)   This is to be undertaken through a state significant development process, with Inner West council as a participating partner. The methodology for the investigations would replicate the locally based planning and block-by-block analysis that has been the basis of the Our Fairer Future plan (Inner West LEP 2025); and

b)   The planning process should also include early comprehensive community consultation, including with land owners, consideration of transport, public domain improvements, open space, not-for-profit housing, commercial and retail opportunities, and improvements to the streetscape.

2.   That Council write to the NSW Premier and the NSW Planning Minister seeking their agreement to commence this project immediately, with close collaboration between the Inner West council and the Department of Planning.

3.   That Council note that our advocacy for the conversion of the former Westconnex dive site at Camperdown to a mixed residential development has been successful in achieving 200 new publicly owned homes as part of the development.

a)   Restate as part of this proposal to the NSW Government that the remaining two residual WestConnex sites in Ashfield and Haberfield should be converted to residential with public housing incorporated, based on the already established model at Camperdown.
