Sydney Region Growth Centres

What’s this about?

The Minister for Environment has proposed to extend the biodiversity certification of the Sydney Region Growth Centres State Environmental Planning Policy until 30 June 2026. This is per the repealed Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, Part 7 of Schedule 7, clause 20.

The certification is currently set to expire on 30 June 2025. The proposed short-term extension will allow for a comprehensive review of the Growth Centres Program including the certification, Growth Centres Environmental Planning Instruments and funding arrangements.

If made, the proposal will remain in effect until 30 June 2026. After this time updated arrangements are proposed to come into effect.

The order conferring the biodiversity certification of the Sydney Region Growth Centres State Environmental Planning Policy is available on the Biodiversity certification orders web page.
