Riverwood Local Centre Master Plan
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during our early stages of the Master Plan for Riverwood Local Centre. From 28 May to 22 June 2025, we asked our community for input to help develop a Master Plan to guide how Riverwood grows and changes over the coming years. Our team will now review feedback we received across our channels. An update on next steps and future opportunities for providing feedback on the Master Plan will be added to this page soon.
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.
During consultation across June 2025, we asked our community:
| 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. |
Riverwood Local Study area
The Master Plan focuses on the area surrounding Riverwood Station and Belmore Road. It is bordered by Josephine Street to the north, Salt Pan Creek to the west, Clarendon Road and Peakhurst Park to the south, and Talbot Street and Bonds Road to the east.
