PROPOSAL
To consider an application for the subdivision of Lot 57
Camm Road, Dandaragan into 24 Lots (plus 2 balance Lots) and make recommendations
to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC).
BACKGROUND
This application is for subdivision of Lot 57 Camm Road,
Dandaragan.
The Shire has identified the development of serviced
residential land in the town of Dandaragan as a priority to meet housing
requirements for major infrastructure projects in the area and to capture
economic and social sustainability benefits for the town.
The Shire has sought development assistance through the
Regional Development Assistance Program (RDAP) which is managed by Land-corp.
RDAP is a commitment by the State Government to assist regional towns and their
social and economic well-being by undertaking small industrial or residential
land releases. The Council has worked with Land-corp to identify the location
and provided funds towards this project.
It is proposed to create a total of 24 Lots and develop these in two phases (Phase 1 being 9 Lots and phase two being 15 Lots). The Rural balance lots will provide open space and potentially future subdivision if a need is identified.
It is proposed to create a total of 24 Lots and develop these in two phases (Phase 1 being 9 Lots and phase two being 15 Lots). The Rural balance lots will provide open space and potentially future subdivision if a need is identified.
The Residential Lots will range in size from 1,000 to 1,821
square metres to provide a mix of potential residential developments.
COMMENT
This proposal has been well supported by the Shire and the
proposal has undergone an exhaustive process to ensure that the development
complies with all statutory requirements.
The issue of requiring a deposit/bond or development time
restrictions to encourage development to occur rather than
investment/speculation has been discussed with Land-corp informally. The
concept was not supported as it was not expected that there would be a high
demand for these lots and such restrictions would discourage potential
purchasers.
The issue of bushfire protection given the recently released
Planning Bulletin 111 has been discussed with the Department of Planning and
they are liaising with Land-corp on the matter.

owner.
