The proposed Lots vary in size from 658m2 to 913m2. The majority of the Proposed
Lots are to be located completely within Lot 135 on MCH978. Proposed Lots 32-34
are to be situated over the Common Boundary of Lots 135 on MCH978 and
Proposed Lot 32 on the Reconfiguration of Lot 136 on MCH978.

It is proposed that Blue Wren Place will be further extended into a cul-de-sac to
provide access to Proposed Lots 32-42, Lot 45 and Lots 48-55. Proposed Lots 43,
44, 46 & 47 will front onto and be accessible from Elm Street. A pedestrian pathway
will provide a linkage from the head of the cul-de-sac onto Elm Street.
