Infrastructure and Development Staging
While precinct structure plans set out the high-level intentions for a precinct, and provide detailed information setting out the required transport, drainage and community infrastructure required to serve a precinct, there is often a time-lag or disconnect between the delivery of land for housing or employment and the delivery of necessary infrastructure needed to service the new community.
This can lead to new residents and workers experiencing traffic congestion, lack of community infrastructure and a lack of public transport which in turn increases car dependency. These are not optimal outcomes and the VPA is hoping to change that.
It is critical that infrastructure to support development of growth areas is delivered in a timely and coordinated manner.
