Input sought on housing plan
WARRNAMBOOL residents are encouraged to have a say on a proposed plan for a new residential area that could hold up to 4,500 new homes.
The draft East of Aberline Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) is now available on the Engage Victoria website: engage.vic.gov.au/EastofAberline
The precinct covers 407ha between Wangoom Road to the north, Dales Road to the south, Aberline Road to the west, and Horne Road to the east.
Along with the new homes, the East of Aberline Precinct Structure Plan envisages generating more than 500 jobs, along with sporting reserves, a new neighbourhood centre, two schools and more than 13ha of parkland.
It will build on recent road improvements to Aberline Road and Horne Road, helping to ensure new neighbourhoods are connected to Warrnambool’s CBD and other services.
Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said the consultation on the PSP was a great opportunity for residents to help shape the direction of a really important part of Warrnambool’s future.
“The East of Aberline precinct is where significant future residential growth will occur,” Cr Blain said.
“We know we need more housing and the planning process in play here will ensure that we get a great outcome for the city.
“The draft plan is now on exhibition so please check it out and have your say at the Engage Victoria website.
“We’ll also have links from the council website to Engage Victoria.”
Consultation on the PSP opened last Friday, September 19, and people will have up to October 20 to make submissions via the Engage Victoria website.
