Wollondilly Shire Council is seeking community feedback on the first Neighbourhood Plan that has been received for the South East Wilton Precinct, also known as Wilton Greens.

The draft Neighbourhood Plan has been revised using feedback from the community and government agencies, and is now open for further comment.

Mayor Matt Gould said, “Council is committed to making sure that Wilton is a place where people can live happy and healthy lives, and we want to hear from people on the best way to achieve this.”

“Thank you to everyone who provided feedback as part of the preliminary consultation phase. I’d encourage you to take a look at the updated draft Neighbourhood Plan and let us know what you think.”

The draft Plan applies to stages two and three of the South East Wilton Precinct and would be included as an amendment to the Wilton Growth Area Development Control Plan 2021.

It will provide for approximately 1,286 lots with a range of lot sizes, including both residential and employment lands, a local centre, a school, playing fields, and passive and active open spaces.

A Neighbourhood Plan is similar to a land use Master Plan prepared prior to lodgement of a Development Application. It provides an overview of how development is planned to roll out in Wilton, across part or all of a precinct.

Council would like to hear more on key elements of the concept, including:

• How the draft Neighbourhood Plan responds to the area’s natural features
• How the road, cycle and pedestrian networks connect people to their neighbourhood and beyond
• The provision of local facilities and infrastructure, including a school, public open space and playing fields
• How the movement and connections through the local centre allow for people to use the space

Once finalised, the Neighbourhood Plan will provide guidance for future development applications for the area and will be contained in the Wilton Development Control Plan. 

The draft Neighbourhood Plan applies to stages two and three of the South East Wilton Precinct. Stage one has prior development approval and is currently under construction.
