Servicing (1 of 2)
Detailed frontage improvements and servicing will be incorporated into a Servicing Agreement. Includes offsite works from rezoning process:
- Community amenity sidewalk extension beyond this frontage was based on narrower sidewalk standards at the time of the 2008 rezoning. Funds from the Community Amenity Contributions Reserve could be used to widen the sidewalk in these locations to bring the width to the current standard
- Road dedication of approximately 4.8m in depth along the north edge of the property was secured in a covenant at the time of rezoning to meet standards
