Riverwood is one of seven Local Centres within Georges River Local Government Area (LGA). It plays a key role in shaping the future of our LGA.

The Riverwood Local Centre Master Plan will guide the gradual long-term growth of the area. The Plan aims to balance housing, employment opportunities, and public space improvements in the next 10 to 20 years.

The Plan will help to diversify housing options and support affordable housing in Riverwood. It will also help to improve access to services, public spaces, and transport. It will ensure growth is coordinated, attractive, and reflects the community’s vision and values.

We want to understand:

Your vision for the area
What you like about Riverwood that you want to keep
What changes you think would make Riverwood an even better place to live, work, visit and play.
We are inviting our community to share their ideas and aspirations for Riverwood to contribute to a draft Master Plan.
