About the proposal
Merrylands Town Centre is considered one of Cumberland’s key town centres, providing diverse housing options, jobs and a strong commercial precinct.
Minor changes have been identified to the Cumberland Development Control Plan for sites in Merrylands under the following chapters:
- Part F2-8 Merrylands Station and Mcfarlane Street Precinct
- Part F2-9 Merrylands Station Precinct (East)
The proposed amendments will ensure consistency with Council’s position on the closure of Finns Lane, Merrylands, and planning controls for the area east of Merrylands Station. See the map below, or to view a larger version, see the Image Gallery.
