PROPOSED NEW LOCAL STRUCTURE PLAN (LSP) – TO REPLACE AN EXISTING LSP FOR LAND AT LANCASTER ROAD, MCKAIL

COMMENT PERIOD

The City of Albany is inviting stakeholder and community feedback on a new proposed Local Structure Plan (LSP) – to replace an existing LSP, pertaining to land on Lancaster Road, Mckail. A LSP is a plan for the coordination of future subdivision and zoning of an area of land.

The existing endorsed Lancaster Rd, McKail LSP is recommending subdivision of the land at the R20 (average lot size 450m2) and R30 (average lot size 300m2) density.

The existing LSP can be found here - Existing LSP Map

 

A new proposed LSP, to replace the existing LSP, has been submitted seeking a lower density format, as follows:

  • R2.5 (Min 4000m2)
  • R10 (Average lot size 1000m2)
  • R15 (Average lot size 666m2)
  • R20 (Average lot size 450m2)
  • R25 (Average lot size 350m2)
  • R10/20 (A split density coding to allow for further subdivision when Gladville Road is extended in the property to the north.

 The proposed LSP also seeks to introduce the following:

  • Modified road layout to allow for east/west lot orientation (better solar access)
  • Consolidation of Public Open Space into larger areas
  • Larger lots in areas of steep topography
  • Variation to proposed school location
  • Deletion of commercial activities

 The City would like to hear from our community and stakeholders to help shape the future of the structure plan area.
