Why is a public acquisition overlay (PAO) proposed?
The application of a PAO is considered best practice to ensure timely delivery of infrastructure needed to support the new community. It facilitates:
- Transport infrastructure such as road upgrades
- Drainage infrastructure such as outfall construction
Moorabool Shire Council and Melbourne Water are the Acquiring Authorities under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to implement the public acquisition within the PSP.
