New $520 Million Investment For Land Planning Projects

New South Wales’ Kellyville Centre Park will be the first of seven major parks to be delivered alongside the Transport Oriented Development (TOD) Accelerated Precincts as part of a $520 million investment into the land planning project.

The TOD Accelerated Precincts were major re-zonings finalised around seven transport centres in November 2024, which created capacity to provide nearly 60,000 homes and more than 126,000 commercial and retail jobs.

Now, in addition to this parks investment, the first round of the TOD Community Infrastructure Grants program has opened for applications providing up to $90 million to nine councils to fund local infrastructure upgrades.

The program will support everything from road upgrades to better active transport, improved landscaping and increased tree canopies to support the delivery of roughly 60,000 homes to be built over the next 15 years in the TOD Accelerated Precincts.

Eligible councils can apply for up to three projects, worth between $500,000 and $10 million each, which will be distributed over the next three years to fund community infrastructure improvements that support housing and jobs growth.

Of the $520 million investment in the Accelerated Precincts, $220 million will be dedicated to this TOD Community Infrastructure Grants program to help improve connectivity, accessibility and liveability.

“It’s fantastic that the existing residents around the Kellyville Metro Station will be able to have a say in how a future park for the precinct will look and feel,” said Warren Kriby, State Member for Riverstone.

“I hope everyone in the community has a look at the plans and has their say on what they’d like to see in the new Kellyville Centre Park.”

The new Kellyville Centre Park will sit alongside the North-West Metro line delivering green open space for the growing Kellyville community.

Now on public exhibition, the Kellyville Centre Park features:

More than half the park will be dedicated to plants, shade, and native trees to cool the park and support local wildlife.

The State Government has worked closely with the local community, the Hills Shire Council, and Traditional Custodians to develop the park’s designs.

“This $520 million investment will make sure increased density around metro stations is matched with infrastructure, greenery, and community spaces across the seven accelerated precincts, helping to build the homes and great communities that people want to live in,” said Paul Scully, Minister for Planning and Public Spaces.

“The draft Kellyville Centre Park design demonstrates how this funding will be used to support growth by creating backyards for thousands of new residents across the Precincts.”

Councils can nominate projects for the first round of funding, from 23 February to 18 May 2026.

People can have their say on the Kellyville Centre Park’s design from 23 February until 24 March and attend an in-person pop up in the local area.
