How did we get here?
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during our early stages of the Master Plan for Riverwood Local Centre. In mid-2025, we asked the community for input to help develop a Master Plan to guide how Riverwood grows and changes over the coming years. More than 150 people shared their ideas, values and priorities for Riverwood.
Key themes included community identity, green space, walkability, traffic and parking, housing choice, and support for local businesses. You can read our full preliminary engagement report for more information.
What we heard has helped shape the vision and principles for the Riverwood Local Centre to create a connected, resilient and inclusive community where people can live, work and thrive together.
At the April Council Meeting, the draft Riverwood Local Centre Master Plan was endorsed to proceed to public exhibition. You can read more about the decision by viewing our Council Business Papers or viewing a recording of the Council Meeting.
