Kingswood–Werrington Place Plan and Safety Audit, NSW

CRED Consulting worked with Penrith City Council to develop the Kingswood-Werrington Place Plan and Safety Audit, providing a coordinated framework for two neighbouring centres, each on a different growth journey.

Shaped with the community, the Place Plan creates a shared vision and practical actions to enhance everyday experiences in Kingswood and Werrington through improvements to public spaces, connections and local events and activities. With a strong focus on safety and belonging, the Plan builds on each community’s strengths, values and local identity to create places where people feel connected, welcome and proud.

Both centres sit at the heart of Penrith’s growing East-West Corridor and will experience significant change driven by new housing and infrastructure, the opening of Western Sydney International Airport and continued development of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis.

Kingswood is an established and growing centre, anchored by a growing innovation precinct that brings together major health and education institutions, local businesses and community life. The new Place Plan builds on the success of the Think Bold Kingswood Place Plan 2020, which helped Council secure government funding and investment in place improvements, activation and programming.

Werrington is an emerging centre experiencing significant development, growth and change. Its first Place Plan creates a new framework to strengthen its village heart, elevate local identity and support a safer, more connected and welcoming centre as the community grows.

The Place Plan sits alongside the East-West Corridor: Kingswood–Werrington Structure Plan, which sets a long-term 20-year vision for growth and development. Together, the plans connect long-term planning with practical short-to-medium-term actions that can enhance the experience of Kingswood and Werrington today.
