The proposal outlines a vision for a new town centre near the Cherrybrook Metro Station, with up to 9,350 new homes (around 5,000 on The Hills Shire side) and buildings reaching up to 28 storeys. It also includes plans for new parks, walking and cycling connections, and 5-10% affordable rental housing.
However, Council has concerns about the scale and process of this proposal. Just 3 years ago, the NSW Government adopted and finalised the Cherrybrook Station Precinct Place Strategy, which planned for around 3,200 dwellings following years of technical studies and community consultation. That plan has now been abandoned, with housing yield nearly tripled and limited time for community feedback.
The new proposal allows up to 28-storey buildings, compared to the original 5-storey cap.
Key issues remain unaddressed, including traffic congestion, steep terrain, and protection of Blue Gum High Forest.
Despite tripling housing numbers, no new schools or infrastructure are being committed to action to support the additional growth.
Now it’s your turn to have your say
Council encourages all residents to review the proposal and make a submission before 5 December 2025 to ensure the voices of The Hills community are heard.
