MORE than 900 residential lots will be established at the former Kingswood Golf Course in Dingley Village under the developer’s latest plans.
The redevelopment of the golf course has been in the works for more than a decade – AustralianSuper bought the site in 2014 before offloading it to developer Satterley last year. Satterley has released its latest plans for the Dingley Village land. It plans to divide the site into 941 residential lots.
AustralianSuper had planned to build around 800 dwellings on the site, and received more than 8000 community objections to its proposal. Planning minister Sonya Kilkenny has announced that the site will be rezoned for development, but the specific plans have not yet been approved. They are currently out for community consultation, which will close on 17 April.
Kingston Council has urged residents to make a submission to the state government to shape the future of the plans. Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said “we know this project has been of strong interest to our community, and it’s important that residents take this opportunity to provide feedback.”
“While council is not the decision maker, we are committed to ensuring our community is informed and that their voices are heard. Council is carefully reviewing the plans and will be making a submission to the state government. We have also written to the Victorian planning minister requesting genuine engagement with the community and adequate time for proper assessment of the plans.”
To make a submission visit engage.vic.gov.au/kingswood. Submissions close at 5pm on Thursday 17 April.
