CASTLE HILL PLANNING UPLIFT


LMR





NSW Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy (February 2025)



Castle Hill is evolving, and with it, new planning policies are unlocking greater opportunities for landowners.


The introduction of the Low and Mid-Rise (LMR) Housing Policy brings a fresh approach to urban development—one that builds upon the previous Castle Hill Precinct Plan while addressing the growing demand for housing in Sydney.



Castle Hill Precinct Plan (June 2024)



For years, the Castle Hill Precinct Plan focused on high-density development in key areas, such as apartment buildings near transport hubs. While this plan encouraged growth, it left many suburban landowners in low-density areas with limited options for redevelopment.

LMR (February, 2025)



The LMR Housing Policy, the focus expands beyond high-rise zones, allowing more landowners to benefit.




Beyond Single Homes: The Benefits of Low and Mid-Rise Housing


✅ More Development Opportunities – LMR allows townhouses, terraces, and low-rise apartments (up to 6 storeys) in areas previously restricted to single homes.


✅ More Flexibility for Landowners – Property owners outside high-rise zones can now consider amalgamation, combining lots to create higher-value developments.


✅ More Sustainable Growth – The new policy aligns housing with transport, retail, and infrastructure, ensuring better-connected communities.



Why Working with Neighbours is the Smart Move


If you’re a landowner, amalgamation is the key to unlocking your land’s full potential, as it increases efficiency in precinct layout and planning strategy.


📈 More Development Options – Amalgamated sites can support larger projects, increasing profitability.


🚀 Faster Approvals – Council and government policies now favour well-planned, larger-scale developments that align with LMR guidelines.
