Council on 14 February 2023 adopted the Amendment. The Amendment has been submitted to the Minister for Planning to consider approval.
The applicant is John & Lucia Baulch, the owners of the property at 27-33 Old Hereford Road, Mount Evelyn.
The amendment proposes to:
Rezone 27-33 Old Hereford Road, Mount Evelyn from the Low Density Residential Zone (LDRZ) to the Low Density Residential Zone Schedule 2 (LDRZ2).
This rezoning would allow subdivision of the property with a minimum lot size of 0.2 hectares rather than the 0.4 hectares currently required.
The new zone will enable the creation of a 2200m2 site subject to a permit, to facilitate the construction of a dwelling approved by planning permit YR2018/1032. The existing dwelling is to be retained on a site of 2967m2 in area.
The amendment includes a concurrent planning permit application YR-2022/512, under Section 96A of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, for the subdivision of 27-33 Old Hereford Road Mount Evelyn into two lots.
