On 4 December 2025, the NSW Government made a Gateway Determination for the Marsfield Common planning proposal at TG Millner Field, directing that it proceed to public exhibition and assessment.
The Gateway Determination is a key milestone in the development process and follows extensive independent assessment of the proposal by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI), which endorsed the June 2025 decision of the Sydney North Planning Panel that the planning proposal should proceed.
The Marsfield Common planning proposal will deliver much-needed low-rise housing and 10,000m² of embellished public open space for the local community. The decision brings us another step closer to securing the future for North Ryde RSL Community Club, which has carried the cost of almost $1 million annually to keep TG Millner running, despite limited usage and only around 40 daily visitors to the Club.
The proposal was first submitted to Ryde Council in May 2022. While extensive community consultation has taken place over the last 3½ years, a formal public exhibition process will shortly be undertaken by the DPHI. This will be an opportunity for the community and our members to have their say on our proposal and, ideally, show support for the much-needed, site-appropriate housing and creation of new public open space.
We will continue to provide information on the planning proposal and public exhibition process as further details come to hand. If you would like updates on the project, please enter your details on our homepage or contact info@marsfieldcommon.com.au.
