Indigo Shire Council has unanimously approved a planning permit to subdivide land on 41–47 Foord Street, Wahgunyah into 15 lots plus the removal of an easement.
Approved at council’s July 30 meeting, the planning permit, which comes with 42 conditions, involves the creation of 14 residential lots and an additional lot for drainage reserve purposes.
The property comprises an irregularly shaped parcel and is 1.33ha in area and has frontage to Foord Street along the eastern boundary. In addition, the centrally located land fronts Traton Street to the west, Elizabeth Street to the south and the unmade Victoria Street road reserve to the north.
Due to existing sewerage servicing constraints, the subdivision is to be carried out across three stages. To ensure adequate stormwater service provision, a drainage reserve in the south-western section of the land will be required to form a part of the stage 1 plan of subdivision.
Subject to the final survey, the proposed lot sizes (including the reserve) will range from 688m2 to 1,050m2. Associated with stage 3, it is also proposed to partly construct Victoria Street to provide cul-de-sac access to three lots.
The subject land is conveniently located along the western edge of the Wahgunyah township area, only 250 metres south of the Wahgunyah Post Office.
