A PLAN to construct 136 dwellings at a site on Pagett Road in Carrum Downs has been approved.
The dwellings will sit on 17 and 18 Pagett Road. Part of the land was previously used as a poultry farm.
Frankston councillors unanimously approved the plans at their August public meeting.
The report prepared by Frankston Council officers recommended that councillors approve the development. “As part of the future public open space contribution (required at the subdivision stage) the existing council reserve to the east will be expanded by approximately 2700 square metres. A pocket park is proposed to the centre/west of the site to retain and protect a high value tree,” the report reads.
“A pedestrian link is proposed to the existing 38R Access Way reserve to provide pedestrian connection to the existing industrial park. Pagett Road, Trafford Road and Sky Way will be extended to intersect within the site. A number of private roads will be created which will be accessed off Pagett and Trafford Road, these will become part of the common property and be managed by the owners’ corporation.
“Part of the land was previously a poultry farm, resulting in a medium risk of site contamination. Further assessment of this risk is required and a requirement for rehabilitation may be necessary. These matters are recommended to be dealt with via conditions of approval.”
