Sydney District Planning Panel

Sydney District Planning Panels have been set up to determine a range of significant developments including all developments with a value of more than $30 million and some specific categories of development over $5 million, as well as certain rezoning & other planning matters.

The Sydney District Planning Panels are panels of members appointed by State Government and local Councils. The Panels have been established to provide independent, merit-based decision-making and advice to the Minister on significant development proposals and planning matters.

Hawkesbury City Council is a member of the Sydney Western City Planning Panel. View further information about  Council’s two current members by selecting 'Sydney Western City Planning Panel' from the drop down list, and the three State appointed members.
