How can I get more information on the proposed public acquisition overlays?
The PAOs identified for the Merrimu Precinct will be for one of two land uses:
- The PAO will be applied to identified land to reserve it for a road upgrade and indicates that this land could be compulsorily acquired in the future. The acquiring authority for this land is Moorabool Shire Council.
- The PAO will be applied to identified land to reserve it for drainage outfall construction and indicates that this land could be compulsorily acquired in the future. The acquiring authority for this land is Melbourne Water.
To have a better understanding of what you can and cannot build upon land impacted by a PAO, speak directly with Moorabool Shire Council or Melbourne Water.
