Railway Terrace Schofields

Community Needs Assessment

HillPDA was commissioned by Premise to prepare a Community and Social Infrastructure Assessment to accompany a State Assessed Planning Proposal (SAPP) application at 249-271 Railway Terrace, Schofields. The purpose of the report was to determine the projected social infrastructure resulting from the population increase from the Planning Proposal.

The report relied on benchmarks identified in the City of Parramatta’s Community Infrastructure Strategy, Blacktown City Council’s Recreation and Open Space Strategy, and the Growth Centres Commission’s Development Code: Precinct Development Parameters to determine provisioning rates for the Local catchment.

The key elements of the study included:

  • Literature review
  • Demograhic analysis
  • Infrastructure audit
  • Community needs review

Project outcome 

Our assessment considered infrastructure at the local, district and regional level. The report presented an assessment of the current and projected social infrastructure needs associated with the SAPP, and projected the new dwellings on the site that could be supported.

Services:
