The Sydney Central City Planning Panel has awarded approval for a concept mixed-use DA and stage 1 works at 277 – 279 Annangrove Road in Rouse Hill.

The project will provide business and light industrial development, including the following building envelopes: 

• Stage 1: 2-storey envelopes for 58 light industrial units, and 
• Stage 2: 4 – 5-storey envelopes for 34,013sqm of office floor space. 

The site is located within the Sydney Region Growth Centre and will surround a number of future mixed-use commercial and industrial developments.

In coming to its decision, the Panel raised concerns with the location of the main entrance being situated on the residential Outback Street, close to the T intersection of Outback and Timbercrest streets. 

The Panel was also concerned with the possibility of the development being used as a shortcut thoroughfare from Timbercrest Street to Annangrove Road, which the Panel suspected would cause traffic congestion.

The proposed external design and colour scheme was determined to be reflective of the future and desired modern character of the B6 Enterprise Corridor zone.
