The Wollongong Industrial Lands Review was adopted by Council on 11 December 2023


We’re seeking feedback on the Draft Wollongong Industrial Lands Review 2023 (Draft Review). The Draft Review provides a detailed overview of Wollongong’s industrial lands, uses and related controls. 

Wollongong has a significant amount of industrial land which plays a key role in the provision of services to our region and beyond. The amount and distribution of our industrial land makes Wollongong well placed to continue to provide important local services to our growing community whilst also meeting the evolving demands of industrial innovation across a range of emerging sectors. 

The Draft Review finds that demand for industrial land in Wollongong is high and whilst there is significant supply of zoned industrial land, challenges remain around freeing up undeveloped land to further support economic development outcomes. 

The Draft Review recommends several actions Council can take to facilitate the best use of our industrial zoned lands including: 

  • Continue to advocate for the delivery of servicing and critical enabling infrastructure.
  • Facilitate a larger range of industrial building types by increasing development capacity on some land.
  • Unlock the capacity for industrial development on some land with existing residential uses.
  • Retain a broad range of site sizes and preserve large sites for evolving industrial opportunities.
  • Consider changes to zoning, land use tables and development standards in the Wollongong Local Environmental Plan 2009 (LEP).
  • Simplify guidance for industrial development within the Wollongong Development Control Plan 2009 (DCP).
