We acknowledge the lasting impact on their traditions and stories over many years and are committed to working closely with their descendants to foster shared opportunities and meaningful growth.
DELIVERING JOBS, GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITY FOR
GREATER MACARTHUR
Walker is planning Macarthur Business Park, a progressive, self-sustaining employment hub designed to support one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions.
The project will create over 14,000 skilled jobs, attract investment into high-value industries, and reduce the need for residents to commute outside the area for work.
As a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, Macarthur Business Park will help local businesses grow, strengthen the regional economy, support infrastructure delivery, and protect important natural landscapes for future generations.
MACARTHUR BUSINESS PARK PLANNING PROPOSAL
The Macarthur Business Park Planning Proposal is a formal application to rezone land on Moreton Park Road, Menangle and Douglas Park, to SP4 Enterprise under the NSW planning framework. This change would allow the creation of a progressive and sustainable employment precinct adjacent to the Greater Macarthur Growth Area.
Aligning with the NSW Government’s Greater Macarthur 2040 vision and Wollondilly’s local strategic plans, this rezoning will unlock a broad mix of employment uses including offices, light industry, technology, logistics, research, services, and commercial activities, supporting the region’s growing need for local jobs, business spaces, and community facilities.
The Proposal will:
> Address the significant shortfall in local job opportunities, reducing the need to travel for work.
> Create a wide variety of jobs, including skilled, professional jobs close to home.
> Support economic growth by attracting businesses and investment.
> Align with council and NSW Government plans for the Greater Macarthur Growth Area.

WHERE IS MACARTHUR BUSINESS PARK LOCATED?
Macarthur Business Park is strategically located with proposed direct access to the Hume Motorway, planned connections to the Outer Sydney Orbital, and proximity to Western Sydney Airport.
Identified as future employment land by the NSW Government in the Greater Macarthur 2040 Structure Plan and by Wollondilly Shire Council’s Employment Lands Study (2022), the site’s location between Sydney, Wollongong, Canberra and Western Sydney Airport makes it a prime hub for jobs, industry and growth.
WHAT INDUSTRIES WILL MACARTHUR BUSINESS PARK INCLUDE?
Macarthur Business Park will bring a mix of businesses and services to Wollondilly and Greater Macarthur, including offices, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, research, light industrial, manufacturing and childcare. It will create a wide variety of jobs across sectors such as:
> Professional, scientific and technical services
> Administration and business support
> Transport, warehousing and logistics
> Retail and hospitality
> Finance and insurance
The precinct also offers a variety of flexible spaces designed to support businesses of all sizes and scale, from local startups and small enterprises to national and international companies.
Will there be community facilities?
Adding to the thousands of new employment opportunities, the precinct proposes to integrate a range of community services and amenity, including:
> Childcare Centres
> Health and wellbeing services
> Hospitality venues and cafes
> Public open spaces, walking trails and recreational facilities

INDICATIVE USES
ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY
Is the precinct sustainable?
Yes. The precinct is guided by a comprehensive sustainability framework developed by expert consultants at WSP.
Targeting:
> High sustainability credentials
> Solar energy and future-proofed infrastructure for renewable energy
> Integrated water management through rainwater harvesting
> Extensive landscaping and biodiversity corridors
> Waste minimisation and recycling facilities
> Climate-resilient design
How have flood or bushfire risks been considered?
The planning process includes comprehensive flood modelling and bushfire assessments to ensure that:
> The development avoids high flood risk areas, and conserves the Nepean River Corridor as part of the dedicated Conservation Area.
> Buildings and infrastructure are designed in line with bushfire protection standards.
The Proposal permanently protects 140 hectares of native bushland, rezoned as a Conservation Area based on detailed ecological assessments.
Employment areas are located on mostly cleared farmland to minimise impacts on native vegetation, with the masterplan prioritising bushland preservation and biodiversity.
Is cultural heritage considered through the precinct?
Walker is actively consulting with Dharawal and Gundungurra Elders to embed cultural knowledge into the planning and delivery of the precinct. Some of these commitments include:
> Cultural heritage assessments to protect significant sites
> Inclusion of cultural elements in landscape and public spaces
> Opportunities for employment, training, and design input for local Aboriginal communities

TRANSPORT AND CONNECTIVITY
What new local infrastructure, roads or public transport will be provided?
Macarthur Business Park will be supported by a new Hume Motorway interchange and a proposed East-West link road to Appin Road, improving connections between jobs and homes across the region. The precinct will also have direct access to the future Outer Sydney Orbital, linking it to Western Sydney Airport, Port Botany, and broader freight and transport networks.
These upgrades will support smoother connections between Western Sydney, the Aerotropolis, Wollongong, and beyond helping local businesses grow and reducing commute times for workers.
Will the development increase congestion or strain local roads?
Extensive traffic modelling has been undertaken to plan for future growth. The development will be staged to align with upgrades to local and regional road networks, ensuring traffic impacts are managed as the area grows.
What public transport is included?
Macarthur Business Park aims to enhance public transport infrastructure, exploring staged improvements from electric buses to trackless trams.
New services will help move future employees and residents around the precinct and connect them to nearby public transport, including rail.
The Macarthur Business Park may be a catalyst for future rail upgrades and Metro connectivity for the Macarthur region.
