Granville Town Centre has been identified as a priority area by the Sydney Metropolitan Development Authority (SMDA) for urban renewal. The SMDA will carry out its functions in partnership with key NSW State agencies, Parramatta and Holroyd City Councils and the Federal Government.

Please refer to the Department of Planning and Infrastructure’s Planning Outcomes Brief and Study here.

The Granville urban renewal precinct occupies a strategic location in greater western Sydney, is well serviced by public transport and is identified as having high potential for social and economic growth within the Parramatta LGA boundary.

The draft Granville urban renewal precinct has an approximate area of 264 hectares.

Whilst the draft urban renewal precinct is defined as one area in the Urban Renewal SEPP Plan, it has three distinct and unique geographical communities comprising:

  1. Granville Town Centre
  2. Church St, “Auto Alley” Precinct
  3. Harris Park Precinct

Specifically, the role of the SMDA in the Granville precinct will include:

  • Working with Departments of Planning and Infrastructure, Transport for NSW and other relevant agencies to identify precinct specific renewal issues;
  • Undertaking land use planning investigations and feasibility analyses;
  • Delivering an overarching precinct plan;
  • Coordinating transport and infrastructure planning;
  • Planning for open space in identified areas;
  • Levying infrastructure contributions and entering into planning agreements;
  • Dealing with land as appropriate;
  • Borrowing and managing funds;
  • Partnering with public agencies and private entities when necessary; and
  • Ensuring extensive community consultation is undertaken at appropriate stages in the process.
