Project Name          Auburn Employment Lands Study
Prepared For           Auburn Council
Project Date            June 2008

Hill PDA was commissioned by Auburn Council to undertake a review of employment lands within the Auburn Local Government Area (LGA).

The study therefore focused on employment lands that were zoned by the Auburn Local Environment Plan (LEP) 2000 as industrial lands from zone 4(a) General Industrial through to 4(e) Homebush Bay Enterprise Corridor Zones.

The key objectives of the study were to:

• Research and document existing industrial employment capacity, type and trends in the LGA;
• Visit and review 14 existing employment precincts (as agreed with the Council) in the LGA;
• Research and document anticipated future employment trends and industrial demand;
• Develop a vision for employment lands and protect their significance; and
• Provide recommendations as to key strategies and principles that will enable sustainable and viable business and employment growth across the LGA up to 2031.

The study was commissioned to support the preparation of Council's Comprehensive Local Environment Plan (LEP) entitled draft Auburn LEP 2009 (LEP 2009).
