3.      ADJOINING LAND USES

The surrounding area is mainly zoned for residential purposes with similar characteristics to
the subject property. To the west there is an area providing open space recreation for the
local area. There is a Reserve for Gravel to the north-west, which is currently vacant and un-
used.


4.      PROPOSAL

It is intended to subdivide the subject land to create 3 residential Lots fronting Wilgee Court
and a balance Lot as shown on Appendix A (Ref: 10-3032AO).

The 3 residential Lots include areas of 913m2, 1,037m2, 1,182m2 and the balance Lot is
3.328ha. The Lots include a minimum of 600m2 on the western side of the drainage line.

It is proposed that each residential lot will have a driveway constructed from Wilgee Court
across the drainage line. These driveways will be constructed to pass through the property
where there will be a minimal impact on the existing vegetation in accordance with the Plan of
Proposed Driveways prepared by Callaghan & Toth shown in Appendix B (Ref: 1225-01).

The balance Lot is located within the Detached Housing Zone and according to the master
plan previously lodged at council it is intended that the balance area will eventually be
developed for residential Lots that have access from Masonry Street.
