A significant development proposal has been submitted that could dramatically alter Hendra’s landscape. The application focuses on a substantial site on Raceview Avenue, with plans for a large-scale residential project.
The proposal outlines plans for a 5.578 hectare site to be subdivided into 69 residential lots, accompanied by new roads, a substantial park, and a dedicated drainage area.
This project, designed by Wolter Consulting Group, aims to establish a new residential community seamlessly integrating with the existing neighbourhood. The proposed lots will vary in size, ranging from 400 to 708 square metres, catering to various housing needs. The development will connect to the established road network, ensuring easy access for future residents.
Existing structures on the site will be removed to make way for the new subdivision. Importantly, the plan also addresses environmental considerations. A drainage reserve along the site’s eastern edge, adjacent to the Southern Cross Way, will link with existing drainage corridors leading to Kedron Brook. This measure aims to manage water flow and mitigate potential flooding risks.
Wolter Consulting Group highlights that the project aligns with the area’s Emerging Community Zone designation. This zoning aims to guide the transition of non-urban land to urban purposes while ensuring compatibility with the surrounding environment. The developers believe this project achieves that goal by providing much-needed housing while dedicating a significant portion of the land to public green space and drainage.
This development application signals a new chapter for Hendra, potentially bringing a significant influx of new residents to the area. The proposal now awaits review and approval from the relevant authorities.
