QUESTION 1
What specific reports, studies, or expert advice did Council rely on when Mayor Wilkie announced on 1 October 2025 that, after 25 units are built at 64 Lake Macdonald Drive, the site could “support potentially another 60 dwellings”, across the two remaining lots?
RESPONSE PROVIDED BY ANITA LAKELAND, ACTING DIRECTOR STRATEGY AND ENVIRONMENT
The reference made in Mayor Wilkie's statement on 1 October 2025 to the site “supporting potentially another 60 dwellings” was based on advice provided by Council’s expert planning staff. No specific reports or studies were undertaken. In estimating the potential for 60 dwellings, Council’s planning staff took into account the Council resolution of 23 January 2025. This resolution requires that any process considering future uses of the remaining two sites must evaluate not only housing options, but also open space, cultural heritage, community uses, landscape and amenity, and other relevant land use planning matters. The process will involve community consultation.
The meeting adjourned at 10.05am.
The meeting resumed at 10.10am.
