Objectives of this zone
- To enable land to be used for private open space or recreational purposes.
- To provide a range of recreational settings and activities and compatible land uses.
- To protect and enhance the natural environment for recreational purposes.
Some state-level housing and precinct policies sit above council rules and can override them — those aren’t included here.
A council’s LEP can also grant extra permitted uses of its own on top of the standard list — those aren’t included here either.

Frequently asked questions
Does this RE2 Private Recreation table apply to my property in Blacktown?
Only if this zone and this planning scheme apply to the land. Search your address — that is what names both.
Can I assume my project is one of the terms listed for RE2 Private Recreation?
No. The list uses the planning scheme’s official names. Whether your project counts as one of those names is a judgement call — that’s what a planner is for.
If a use is not listed in RE2 Private Recreation, is it prohibited in Blacktown?
Not by itself. Unlisted uses follow this zone’s fallback (“Prohibited”). That is different from being named on the list.
