QUESTION 1
What implications/impact does receiving a grant through the Residential Activation Fund for infrastructure work at 62/64 Lake MacDonald Drive, Cooroy have in relation to community consultation on future use of Lot 2 and 3?
Council is committed to community consultation to help shape future land uses on proposed Lots 2 and 3 and Council's success in the Residential Activation Fund does not impact on that commitment. The Residential Activation Fund is for trunk infrastructure not for the housing itself. The infrastructure works will be completed by around March 2026, meeting the three year time frame requirement of the Residential Activation Fund comfortably. Community consultation on future uses for Lot 2 and 3 will likely occur in 2026.
QUESTION 2
Will community consultation regarding the future uses of Lots 2 and 3, 64 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy be held before the subdivision works which will provide the trunk infrastructure part of the development?
Response provided by Kim Rawlings, Director Strategy & Environment
No. Community consultation will not take place prior to the subdivision works being completed. As previously advised community consultation on future uses for Lot 2 and 3 will likely occur in 2026. Most land uses including those identified to be investigated for Lots 2 and 3 by Council resolution dated 23 January 2025, require some level of servicing and infrastructure to operate.

Through the Chair, on behalf of Rhea den Braasem, the background material. In relation to the subdivision of 64 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy, Council's resolution the January 2025 states any process to consider future use of the remaining two lots should investigate options for the sites and ensure the process involves community consultation. The residential resolution activation fund provides funds for trunk and essential infrastructure that is fundamental in getting more homes built sooner. The fund has a definite timeline for projects to begin soon after receiving the grant and a completion date within three years. Council's timeline for lot one meets this criteria but what about consultation regarding lots two and three and the trunk infrastructure? Is being provided across all three lots. The grant is designed to increase supply, support affordability and encourage faster development. Receiving this grant appears to be a cart before the horse situation in relation to Council's community consultation in the resolution. So Rhea's question. What implications impact does a grant through the Residential Activation Fund for infrastructure work at 62/64 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy have in relation to community construction or future use of lots two and three? Sorry, community consultation.
