Our Town Planners obtained development approval for a subdivision creating 8 new residential lots with shared internal access. The provision of access through easements rather than a private road (common property) avoids the need for a body corporate.
As the site is within the Emerging community zone, we were required to undertake broader structure planning to demonstrate how the development may integrate with future road networks. Provision has been made for a future local road to the north of the site, and we were able to achieve an outcome with no public road construction—saving our client significant costs. Land dedication for planned road widening in the south attracted infrastructure charges offsets (monetary reimbursement) from Council.
Other issues included internal refuse collection and density (for which we obtained relaxations).
