A named future precinct - City of Hume (long-term planning)

Future plans

Horizon 3: planning scheduled, not started.

Victoria's 10-year greenfields plan was published on 23 October 2024. It groups future growth precincts into horizons. Sunbury West sits in Horizon 3.

What the Horizon 3 listing actually means.

A named future precinct

Sunbury West is listed in Victoria's 10-year greenfields plan as a Horizon 3 precinct. That is a sequencing decision, not an approval.

No boundary yet

No precinct boundary has been gazetted. The area is described broadly as the land west of the existing Sunbury township.

No yield figures

Hectares, dwelling capacity, jobs and future resident numbers do not exist in any official document for this area, so none are published here.

What a PSP delivers

When a precinct structure plan is prepared it sets the road network, land use, a local town centre, school sites, open space and conservation areas.

Open space and green spine

Victorian precinct plans reserve creek corridors and linked open space. Around Sunbury, the Jacksons Creek valley is the dominant natural feature.

Schools and community land

Government and non-government school sites are reserved through the PSP process rather than announced in advance.

Indicative delivery sequence

  1. Stage 1

    Sequencing

    Precinct named in the 10-year greenfields plan under Horizon 3, with planning scheduled to commence between 2029/30 and 2033/34.

  2. Stage 2

    Precinct structure planning

    The Victorian Planning Authority prepares background studies, a draft boundary, land use plan and infrastructure contributions.

  3. Stage 3

    Exhibition and approval

    The draft plan is exhibited for public comment, assessed, then approved and gazetted into the planning scheme.

  4. Stage 4

    Servicing and delivery

    Rezoned land is serviced, subdivided and released in stages. First homes, then a town centre, then a maturing community.

Indicative sequence only. Timing depends on state government decisions and infrastructure delivery.
