Liverpool is classified as a developed and every growing metropolitan cluster, lying 40km from Sydney’s CBD. The suburb is located approximately equidistant between the Kingsford Smith Airport and the Western Sydney Airport site. A series of both rail and road developments are projected for the region, allowing Liverpool to capitalise on its centralised location between the CBD and regional metropolitan clusters such as Penrith and Campbelltown.
Woodward Park itself is a 25 hectare recreational park located adjacent to Liverpool CBD, hosting a range of sporting facilities and community services. The site contains a mix of formal and informal sporting infrastructure which have varying levels of provision, condition and use. The site also contains a mixture of community uses and services, including a major ambulance hub, which support the Liverpool community.
The Australian Government forecasts that around five million people will use the Western Sydney Airport in its first year of operation from 2026, with annual passengers projected to increase to about 37 million by 2050. Ultimately, WSA will have the capacity to cater to more than 80 million passengers per year (Greater Sydney Commission 2016). This scale of activity will induce a range of investments in Liverpool and across Western Sydney more general.

Alongside major NSW State Government infrastructure projects (Western Sydney Airport and the Moorebank Intermodal terminal) key roads are being upgraded and extended along strategic routes. The upgrade of Fifteenth Avenue will facilitate a more efficient connection – as well as a major transit opportunity along the Rapid Transit Corridor- between Liverpool CBD and the WSA.
Four strategic land release areas in Leppington, Austral, Middleton Grange and Edmonson Park have been strategically positioned to accommodate for future population growth. To support population growth in these centres, and others across the LGA, 6 community hubs have been proposed which include civic, retail and community uses for current and future residents.The entrances to Liverpool City Centre are being improved through the ‘Gateways to the City’ project, aiming to improve Liverpool’s destination appeal, alongside improved connections with Liverpool’s largest natural asset, the Georges River. The City Commercial Core Masterplan and Health, Research and Education Innovation Precinct are designed to establish Liverpool CBD as a robust and liveable economic centre based around a strong knowledge and health industry.

The residential areas within Liverpool City Centre are zoned high density capacity, and residential developments are already beginning to increase in height and capacity around the CBD. The increased residential population will lead to further demands on City Centre facilities such as public spaces, parking and local amenities.
In July 2018 there were 40 development applications in either submitted or pre-lodgement status around the CBD, with 33 located within 800m walking distance from Woodward Park. This development area is anticipated to include over 4000 new units in medium to high density environments.Over half of these developments, with a total of 2,036 units, are planned for the region within 400m of Woodward Park.

This represents approximately 7.3% of the total land area of theLiverpool LGA.
