This progressed with lobbying by the land owners and other interested parties until Liverpool City Council started moving forward in 1999.
LandPro Corporation,together with land owners continued to push the issue, attending numerous Council meetings until rezoning was achieved in 2005.
Of course there were many delays such as land acquisition by Council for drainage and other services, including sewer upgrading works (completed by Sydney Water).
Middleton Grange consists of approx 2330 lots with provision made, by Council, for a neighborhood shopping center expected to commence construction shortly and two schools. Middleton Grange Public School opened in 2010 and Thomas Hassall Anglican College opened in 2000 and caters for pre school through to year 12.
Major land developers are now developing and selling housing blocks, such as Landcom/Mirvac joint venture (around 700 lots), Stateland Developments, Allam Homes, LandPro Corporation/Kordan, along with some smaller land individual holders/farmers.
Middleton Grange, having recycled water and high Council infrastructure contributions is set to become one of the most prestigious suburbs in Western Sydney, a small prestigious suburb that will be sought after in years to come.
