The purpose – and therefore the objective – of Plan Change 76 is to provide additional land for residential housing and encourage both intensification and a variety of densities within an identified site in Wakefield (the proposed ‘Wakefield Development Area’). This is responding to issues around the need to provide for population growth, the need to manage housing affordability and the need to provide a variety of lot sizes to cater for different demographics and ensure efficient land use. In order to address these issues, this Plan Change is seeking to rezone and change applicable rules for an area of land identified in the Future Development Strategy 2022 and to encourage medium-density housing in this area and the adjoining area of undeveloped Residential zoned land.
