Carpenter Street

This area is located north west of Jarrah Street Estate. Access to this area is achieved by gravel
access and the majority of the site appears to be relatively undeveloped. The access is achieved
off Garnet Street, with a gravel road formed to gain access to several rural residential allotments.
The area is constrained by its location adjacent to a drainage line leading into a nearby dam.
Melaleuca swamp vegetation dominated the lower portions of the site, with the area appearing to
be flood prone. No reticulated services appeared to connect the industry zoned site. A number of
scattered houses were found to be within <100m of the boundary of the area designated for
future industrial development. This was also viewed as a constraint to the potential for

development to occur in this area.

Lower Mill Road

Lower Mill Road is part of a new industrial estate which is dominated in size by the Ritek
factory (metal framing, fabrication and construction suppliers). There are 5 available industrial
allotments which are currently vacant, with building construction underway on several other
allotments. The size of the allotments would restrict the number and intensity of uses. There are
some residential dwellings occupying land along the main road frontage. Adequate reticulated
services appear to be available to the site, with a fully constructed road and stormwater network
in place. Access to the Bruce Highway and the railway may require heavy vehicles to pass
through the township and the proximity of the site to adjoining residential uses is likely to
constrain any intensive future development without impacting on the amenity of adjacent land

owners.

Pearsons Road to Lamonts Road

The industrial zoned land to the north of town appears to support a nursery operation, however
the existing plants appear to be overgrown and largely un-kept. The site is bound by Elm Street
to the west (to Pomona) and residential allotments to the east. The current access off Pearsons
Road appears to be suitable for local traffic only. An upgrade to this intersection is anticipated
should any significant redevelopment of this site occur. The extension of reticulated services
would appear to be feasible in this location. While the site enjoys good access to Elm Street, the
redevelopment of the land is somewhat constrained by its proximity to existing residential

development, and the likelihood that any new haulage is to be directed through town, including
