2 Subdivision Planning and Design
2.1 East Leppington Precinct Vision
The vision for the East Leppington Precinct is to develop a series of new walkable residential
neighbourhoods supported by local retail, community and recreation facilities in an environmentally
sustainable manner.
The Precinct as a whole will provide:
� For a range of residential densities, housing types and affordability options to meet the needs
of a diverse and growing community.
� Detached housing will comprise the majority of residential development, with medium density
development located close to the Centres, along bus routes and areas of higher amenity with
larger lots on the periphery of the Precinct.
� A Local Centre located at the ‘gateway’ of the East Leppington Precinct. The Local Centre
will be the main retail centre, providing for a mix of retail, commercial and community services
to cater for the needs of local residents. It will be highly accessible by all modes of transport,
being located off Camden Valley Way and surrounded by medium density residential and
mixed use development.
� A neighbourhood centre located in the north of the Precinct to serve the daily needs of the
local community.
� A public domain that will include special places focused on important landscape and cultural
features including the Leppington House archaeological site. Passive recreation opportunities
will be maximised along the Bonds Creek riparian corridor whilst active recreation
opportunities will be catered through the provision of sporting fields. Where possible, remnant
vegetation will be retained in public parks and areas containing endangered ecological
communities will be conserved. The visual and landscape quality of the Scenic Hills will be
protected.
� For the incorporation of principles of ecological sustainability and measures to ensure that the
important historic, environmental and visual elements of the Precinct are recognised and
protected for future generations.
Note: This part sets out the precinct planning vision for East Leppington Precinct and includes figures
that support the objectives, controls and design principles for subdivision planning and design in Part
2 of the Main DCP.
