Epping Town Centre Master Plan

The Master Plan area is located to the west of Epping Train Station, bounded by Carlingford Road to the north, Beecroft Road and the railway line to the East, Bridge Street to the South and Boronia Park to the West (see Master Plan extent diagram).

Recommendations within the future Master Plan will be limited to this area. 

To define a vision for the Epping Town Centre, along with clear mechanisms to achieve that vision. This will effectively guide future development, including principles for the Rawson Street car park. 

The expected benefits of this Master Plan include:

• Improved circulation within the precinct, including accessible laneways and connections to Boronia Park.
• Consideration of traffic, built form and the public domain.
• Development of urban design principles for the Rawson Street car park site, including provision of community and recreational uses and public car parking only.
   

Part of the Master Plan process will be to review the existing planning controls to ensure that the current height and density controls accord with each other.

This may result in recommendations for future amendments to the planning framework to ensure the best design outcome, without increasing development density. 

Council will engage with the Epping community to understand their aspirations for the town centre. This input will inform the development of the Master Plan's vision and urban design principles.

Community engagement for the Master Plan will occur in three stages and will include online surveys, social media campaigns, stakeholder meetings, pop-up events, and letterbox drops.
