Collison Estate Planning Scheme Amendment

Overview

Casey City Council undertook preliminary community consultation on the draft Development and Contributions Plans for Collison Estate, Cranbourne East.

The draft Development Plan provides guidance for future planning permit applications in the Estate. Future uses include residential, a local activity centre, a community centre, non-residential uses in a residential zone and open space networks. Future planning permit applications are exempt from public notice in the Casey Planning Scheme.

The draft Development Contributions Plan identifies the infrastructure costs for the Estate to develop and distributes these costs equally between landowners in the Estate. Please click the associated links to view the Collison Estate draft Development Plan and Development Contributions Plan.
