STANLEY WELCOMES AEROTROPOLIS COMMUNITY COMMISSIONER’S REPORT

Anne Stanley MP, Member for Werriwa, has welcomed the release of the Aerotropolis Independent Community Commissioners Report, however notes that this is only the first step.

The Report was commissioned in May 2021 to help address the concerns of landowners in the Western Sydney Aerotropolis after years of community pressure.

Recommendations from the report list several community communications reforms, land zoning and acquisition clarity, and a clear and concise timing and pathway schedule.

“It is clear from this report that the treatment of affected landowners by the Government was appalling. The need for such a report was an admission by the State Government that the planning process in the aerotropolis zone failed.

“This report is a step in the right direction, but it is still some way from providing small landowners with relief they desperately require.

“The recommendations from the report show the community concerns of transparency, certainty, fairness and a timeline to plan for the future are finally being noticed.

“However, this is just the first step to provide small landowners with fairness.

“I welcome the report and thank the Independent Community Commissioner, Professor Roberta Ryan, for her work and for listening to the community.

“I eagerly await further progress to see how these recommendations will be implemented.” Ms Stanley said.
