I was driving to Kurrajong today to check out the Scarecrow Festival. Along the way, on Windsor Road, I passed by Rouse Hill. Whilst stopping at the lights in Rouse Hill, on the radio, it was announced that the spot where I was waiting for the lights to turn, the State government has approved the rezoning of land to create 2500 new homes. The area will also be serviced by the north west rail link. It is definitely great news for the existing residents as the main transportation is by bus.

The announcement is a step in the right direction for aspiring home owners and for people who can't afford living too close to the city. The smallest lots is 250 sq m. but with good planning this lot size would be ample for the growing families. The houses are anticipated to finish in 2 years ahead of the North West Rail link. The suburb will be the last stop for the rail link.
The area, Rouse Hill is already poised for this growth. The Rouse Hill Town Center if huge and is built on an environmentally friendly design. It is not an "indoor" shopping center but the various blocks are linked by spacious corridors which is undercover providing the fresh air as opposed to merely air conditioning.
The same theme is also found in the market place a.k.a food court. The food court itself is very spacious and has ample seats and tables. All goes to cater for the growing population in this area.
The areas and suburbs surrounding Rouse Hill has also been growing steadily and most of the shops are relatively large. What I mean is that the McDonalds and the KFC are usually larger outlets than you get at other suburbs.
It'll be interesting to see how this suburb evolves over the next couple of years.
