Why is the Public Acquisition Overlay proposed?
The application of the PAO is considered best practice and will ensure the timely delivery of infrastructure needed to support the new community. It facilitates:
- Transport infrastructure such as key intersections and shared path networks.
- Community infrastructure such as community facilities, sports reserve and open space.
- Flood mitigation and drainage infrastructure such as overland flow path, drainage and retarding basins.
Greater Shepparton City Council is the Acquiring Authority under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to implement the public acquisition within the PSP and can assist with any further queries you may have on this.
