At last week’s Council meeting, Council approved a development plan overlay for land at 35 Warragul Road in the Residential Growth Area (North West Korumburra) (DPO8) provisions of the South Gippsland Planning Scheme. The DPO8 was applied at the same time that 3.83 ha of the land was rezoned to General Residential Zone (GRZ) by Amendment C96.
RESIDENTIAL GROWTH AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN – 35 KORUMBURRA – WARRAGUL ROAD, KORUMBURRA
The subject land at 35 Warragul Road is covered by the Development Plan Overlay – Schedule 8 – Residential Growth Area (North West Korumburra) (DPO8) provisions of the South Gippsland Planning Scheme. The DPO8 was applied at the same time that 3.83 ha of the land was rezoned to General Residential Zone (GRZ) by Amendment C96. The North West Growth Area Development Plan and proposed subdivision provides for the sequential extension of the existing residential area in the north-west of the Korumburra township. The development, as envisaged in Amendment C96, provides for the proper and orderly extension of physical services, roads, and open space.
In relation to interfaces, the site predominantly interfaces with farming land. In the south east, the site adjoins existing residential development. The layout of the subdivision is designed to front dwellings away from the existing residential development along Warragul Road (except for Lot 3). The subdivision layout provides a physical buffer from the rail corridor and South Gippsland Highway (further to the south). Noise attenuation measures in future housing on the lots will be the responsibility of individual owners.
As the rail trail is adjacent to the subject site providing a shared pedestrian pathway along the southern extent of the main access road with a connection ramp to the future rail trail. This will provide a link for residents into the town of Korumburra. An annotation on the Development Plan is appropriate to ensure that this requirement is noted and will be addressed at the subdivision permit stage.
A permit will now be required before any subdivisions are approved by Council.
