Project Status Updates
Project Status Updates – November 2023
We have been working with Golden Plains Shire Council (Council) to progress the planning for Bannockburn South East by procuring key technical work including drainage and transport modelling.
Since our last update in July 2023, we have:
- Completed agency validation.
- Updated our plans to reflect the latest drainage modelling.
- Met with Council and agencies to discuss the first draft of the Precinct Structure Plan (PSP).
- Progressed technical reports for drainage, transport, economics, and community needs.
On 20 September 2023, the Victorian Government released Victoria’s Housing Statement: The decade ahead 2024-2034, in which it announced the Victorian Planning Authority will continue preparing PSPs for new housing and jobs in Melbourne and regional Victoria. We will conduct further work across 21 projects to deliver more than 60,000 homes and 60,000 jobs. These projects will deliver a sustainable supply of greenfield land, and more jobs close to home.
Bannockburn South East is one of the 21 projects named in the Housing Statement.
In the coming months we will be focused on resolving key drainage and transport matters in preparation for public consultation in mid-2024.
We are now in the process of updating our work program and confirming new timings for this project. We will provide another update with more details on our next steps once our work program is confirmed.
