The final plans of the Campbelltown, Macarthur, Minto, Leumeah, Ingleburn and Macquarie Fields station precincts will provide a strategy for jobs, services and green space to benefit for years to come.

Campbelltown City Council general manager Lindy Deitz welcomed the plans.

“Macarthur has been earmarked — to complement Campbelltown as a key centre with world-class health facilities, integrated educational institutions, a mix of housing types, a premier retail precinct and great public and open spaces,” she said.

“This corridor provides the opportunity for about 20,000 new homes and 21,000 jobs over 20-30 years.”

Queen St and Campbelltown Mall are to be upgraded into an attractive urban space, featuring outdoor dining and street furniture under the strategy.
