Feedback from the public is invited by Clarence Valley Council on a development application for a $10.89 million 112 lot staged subdivision at South Grafton that is on exhibition until November 13.

The DA on behalf of Ken W Robson Holdings Pty Ltd proposes 85 low density residential lots, 26 large residential lots, a 1.770-hectare public park and a 1836 square metre drainage reserve at 40 Fairway Drive, South Grafton.

The 19.85-hectare site is currently zoned part R1 General Residential and part R5 Large Lot Residential, with four new internal roads proposed and an extension to Fairway Drive connecting to Rushforth Road at a new intersection.

The Statement of Environmental Effects lodged with the DA states the subdivision will be developed in five stages, the first being 13 residential lots, then 20 residential lots, then another 27 residential lots plus park and drainage reserve, followed by 5 residential and 12 large lots, then 20 residential and 13 large lots.

The subdivision is proposed to contain 9 lots of 450 square metres sqm or less to meet the 10 per-cent affordable housing requirements, 8 lots ranging from 450 sqm to 600 sqm, and 67 lots from 600 sqm to 2089 sqm in the R1 zone, with the remaining Large Residential lots all a minimum of 2000 sqm.

The DA for the subdivision and all associated reports are on public exhibition on council’s website until 4pm on Monday, November 13.
