• More options for redevelopment of Horsley Park, Cecil Park

A seven hectare business park has been proposed for Cecil Park, suggesting the development of a motel, restaurants, a service station and industrial warehousing.

The $12 million development – detailed in an application before the NSW Government – comes as the community considers rezoning the suburbs of Horsley Park and Cecil Park.

The land, a 73,715 square metre lot located at 1111 to 1141 Elizabeth Drive, currently features a double-storey residential home and some shedding. It’s located on the corner of Cecil Road – just a block away from the entrance of the M7 motorway.

The proposal suggests breaking the lot into 14 separate parcels of land. This would make room for a 73-room motel, a service station, two fast food restaurants, two “large format” retail stores and seven industrial properties, planning documents reveal. (These would be subject to their own development applications.)

The business park would grow in value as the Badgerys Creek Airport ramps up, the application contends, as it is expected to draw people, jobs and business to Western Sydney.

It comes as Horsley Park and Cecil Park residents consider five different options on how the semirural suburbs could be rezoned. In general terms, the options propose designating at least parts of Horsley Park for commercial work, while Cecil Park would be zoned as a residential suburb that could accommodate from 12,250 to 24,500 homes.

The application detailing the development is being publicly exhibited for a month until February 22. People can voice their opinions in submissions by completing the form at www.majorprojects.planning.nsw.gov.au/page/on-exhibition
