A planning amendment and permit that seek to develop land
in Drysdale into 192 housing lots will be exhibited to the community for
feedback.
Amendment C447ggee
aims to rezone land bound by
Huntingdon Street, Princess Street and the Drysdale
Bypass, affecting 12 properties. The planning application to subdivide land at
Huntingdon and Princess streets applies to 10 properties.
The
combined area is approximately 17 hectares, and the subdivision puts forward a range
of lot sizes to suit different lifestyles and stages.
The
proposed development would be located 1.2 kilometres south of the Drysdale town
centre, close to sporting, community and educational facilities.
A
local park for the north-west section of the development and co-located with a drainage
basin intends to complement the use of the Bellarine Rail Trail as an active
transport and recreational link.
Development
contributions would fund community infrastructure and social and affordable
housing, while road and drainage infrastructure and open space would be
provided by the developer.
Council’s
Settlement Strategy, the Drysdale Clifton Springs Structure Plan and other
policy documents support housing growth in this area.
Mayor
Trent Sullivan
We welcome submissions during the exhibition period later this
year.
Interested
community members can sign up to alerts on our Amendments page and be notified when Amendment C447ggee and the
planning permit go up for exhibition.
Affected
landowners, nearby landowners and other relevant agencies will be directly
notified during this time.
Councillor
Melissa Cadwell
We recommend community members consider Amendment C447ggee, the
planning permit and supporting documents.
The
application is accompanied by several reports addressing traffic, stormwater
management, and the environment.
A
Cultural Heritage Management Plan is being prepared as part of the planning
permit process.
