The Community Vision:

“Strathfield Town Centre is a vibrant, bustling and welcoming place for the community. The place reflects the rich heritage and traditions of Strathfield and connects us with contemporary experiences and opportunity for all. It is a gateway to Sydney and the world beyond.”

Exhibition of the draft Key Directions Report

Strathfield Council is continuing work on shaping the future of the Strathfield Town Centre through the development of a draft Masterplan. The Strathfield Town Centre is more than just a place - it’s a reflection of the people who shape it and a beat heart of the community. The future Strathfield Town Centre will be a safe, inclusive, usable space - adaptive, sustainable, and deeply connected to its people.

A future Strathfield


The draft Strathfield Town Centre Master Plan Key Directions Report is now on exhibition and outlines ten key directions that will help guide the future of the Strathfield Town Centre. These directions aim to make sure:

  • Future decisions reflect what matters most to our community and visitors.
  • The special character and charm of the Town Centre are protected and enhanced; and
  • Changes support a greener, more vibrant, and sustainable future for everyone.

We’d love for you to share your ideas and feedback before we move ahead with the next stage of the project, and the preparation of the draft Strathfield Town Centre Masterplan.
