Georges River Council is seeking your feedback to develop the Mortdale Local Centre Master Plan

Council has prepared a draft Master Plan for Mortdale Local Centre that aims to provide for future employment opportunities and new housing to support growth and a vibrant local centre.

Early in 2021 the community was invited to provide input in response to questions about housing types, shopping and services, streetscape and open spaces in Mortdale Local Centre. This provided valuable information about what the community values about the centre, and what they appreciate about living in the area. We have considered and reflected on the community’s issues and concerns in preparing the draft Master Plan.

The draft Master Plan makes recommendations to:

	Rezone land to support the Centre's growth and provide transition to nearby low density areas
	Improve the public space network through public spaces and facilities for community including: road closure plazas, town square, new park, library and community hub.
	Improve public domain including active transport upgrades, potential through site links, laneway upgrades and road closure plazas.

The draft Master Plan outlines implementation options including amendments to planning controls and bonus development incentives for affordable housing.
