Kellyville and Bella Vista have been identified as accelerated precincts under the NSW government’s transport-oriented development program.  

As part of the program, the planning department have reviewed the planning controls in Kellyville and Bella Vista to determine areas of the precincts suitable to support 20,700 new homes, including a mandatory affordable housing contribution of between 3 – 8 percent for all new residential development. This will result in between 620 – 1650 affordable homes in perpetuity, managed by a registered community housing provider.  

Additional housing opportunities are focussed within the immediate vicinity of the Metro stations, where people will be able to live within walking distance of supermarkets, restaurants and open space, as well as good public transport to get them where they need to go.  

Areas not recommended for accelerated rezoning include:  

• beyond 1,200 metres from Kellyville and Bella Vista metro stations,  

• land constrained by natural hazards, including bushfire and high-risk flooding, and  

• land subject to recent development with low likelihood of redevelopment.
