- All 23 projects fast-tracked by NSW Government
- First look inside prestigious school’s $115m expansion
A further 24 major developments including new schools, thousands of homes and new commercial precincts are to be determined through the second phase of NSW Planning’s fast-track scheme to kickstart the state’s post-coronavirus economy.
The second round of major projects was announced just hours after the NSW Government approved 23 ‘tranche one’ projects with a total value of $7.7 billion.
Developers behind the ‘tranche two’ projects, worth a total of $5.3 billion, will learn the fate of the proposals within the next four weeks.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the COVID-19 crisis “sharpens our focus and energy” to create unprecedented infrastructure spend to help the state rebound from the pandemic.
Eight projects — including the $151 million Mirvac proposal to redevelop the IBM site at West Pennant Hills into 600 apartments and townhouses — were suggestions by members of the Urban Taskforce of Australia.
Other private developments include the $2.6 billion proposal by a development consortium for an 850ha industrial estate known as the Mamre Precinct in the Penrith local government area, a $59 million residential and commercial precinct in Newcastle and $49 million residential plan for 14-20 Parkes St, Harris Park.
Planning and Public Spaces Minister Rob Stokes said projects such as the $2.6 billion Mamre Road industrial precinct, including new environmental lands and open space, will transform NSW.
“The Mamre Road project alone creates opportunities for more than 5250 jobs and it will happen sooner because the NSW Government has reallocated planning resources to assess these projects faster,” Mr Stokes said.
“We’re creating great places to live, work and play while also showing the world that NSW is ready to not only recover but thrive.”
