Integrated Planning

Aiming to mainstream sustainability and resilience throughout Westfield’s various planning, development and decision-making processes.


We have been focusing on the Master Plan reexamination and subsequent updates to its various individual elements and a suite of sustainability plans such as a Climate Action Plan and Sustainability and Resilience Master Plan Element.
