Aurora Development Plan

We've created development plans for the Aurora estate in Epping North. This area is bound by O'Herns Road, Craigieburn Road and the Hume Freeway (Craigieburn Bypass) to the west.

The development plan is in two parts. We endorsed Part 1 in 2003.

The plans describe proposed housing areas, street layouts, community facilities and other main land uses.

The current Aurora Development Plan (Part 2) was approved in 2007, and amended in 2016. 

It includes plans to provide homes for around 25,000 people. Other facilities included:

• four supermarkets
• a discount department store
• two community centres
• a Town Centre library
• higher density housing
• future potential for a railway extension.

There are two Town Centres planned for the Aurora area. 

• The Northern Town Centre is the larger of the two and is located near the intersection of Harvest Home Road and Edgars Road. 
• A small town centre is planned for Aurora South, close to O'Herns Road and the future extension of Edgars Road.
