Following consideration by Council and the Local Planning Panel in 2021, the below Planning Proposals were submitted to the NSW Department of Planning Infrastructure and Environment (DPIE) in mid to late 2021.  In its assessment of these proposals the Department determined that further technical reports are needed in order to understand the impact of the proposals on their surrounding areas.

  • Woodville Road Corridor

  • Granville Town Centre and surrounds

Accordingly Council staff are in the process of seeking the required additional information and reviewing the proposals.


We also have Public Domain Plans that have been prepared to guide the delivery of consistently high-quality public realm to promote the revitalisation of our Town Centres.

These documents set out a Town Centre wide palette of streetscape treatments, including material palettes for surface treatments, street furniture, landscaping and finishes. It also provides guidelines and relevant information to assist developers and Council in undertaking public domain works within our Town Centres. Each of the Town Centre Public Domain Plans goes on public exhibition for feedback before being finalised. All of these plans are availabe on the Council website once finalised.


We will keep you updated on the status of these projects via this page. If you want to be notified of future updates, make sure you use the red 'Follow' button at the top of the page.
