Since the rezoning in 2007, several development outcomes originally envisaged for the subject site require amendment.

The amendments seek to enable appropriate development outcomes for the subject site.

The main changes proposed include:

• Amending the Oran Park Indicative Layout Plan (ILP) by:
  • Introducing the Hassall Driveway heritage boulevard;
  • Removing the linear open space park in the north-west part of the site and redistributing the open space into two parks, one in the north-west and one in south-east of the site;
  • Refining the riparian corridor and passive open space network;
  • Designating land originally identified (but not required) for the expansion of Macarthur Anglican School for urban development; and
  • Amending the location and size of the proposed primary school.
• Incorporating controls to address the transition between the development, Cobbitty Road and the Metropolitan Ruran Area (MRA);
• Removing the maximum height limit of the earth mound in the Denbigh transition area; and,
• Introducing a number of changes to the water cycle management and functioning of the site.

In December 2007, the Oran Park Precinct was rezoned by the NSW Department of Planning, now known as the NSW Department of Planning (DoP). The Oran Park DCP forms part of the rezoning package and provides detailed controls that guide the delivery of development across the precinct.

In August 2022, a request to amend the Oran Park DCP was submitted to Council by the proponent, Urbis Pty Ltd, on behalf of the landowner, Mirvac Homes Pty Ltd.

The site is located on the western edge of the South West Growth Area (SWGA), includes a total area of 78 hectares, and has a frontage to Cobbitty Road. The MRA lies to the west of the site. The surrounding area includes a mix of land uses, including:

• Denbigh estate, a State listed Heritage Item, located to the north of the site;
• Macarthur Anglican School, located to the east;
• Arcadian Hills development estate to the east; and
• Harrington Grove on the southern side of Cobbitty Road.

The site is located approximately 2.5km west of Oran Park Town Centre and 1.5km east of Cobbity Village. A locality map is provided below.
