Requested Amendment to the ParanVille Development

Feedback

Council is seeking community feedback on the newest proposed changes to the staging program, before making a decision on the request.

Please provide your comments below under 'Feedback 2023'. (survey below) until 23 October 2023.

Next steps: your feedback will be provided to council to inform the decision and the outcome will be shared on this page.

Overview of the 2023 consultation

The developers of ”ParanVille”, a residential and mixed-use subdivision at Pass Road, Rokeby have written to the council to seek approval for a variation to the ParanVille Specific Area Plan Master Plan and Staging incorporated into the Tasmanian Planning Scheme- Clarence. A copy of the letter is in the document folder or can be found here.

The request has been made as part of a 31-lot subdivision for 163 Pass Road, Rokeby which is now on hold until this matter is resolved.

The proposal is for 31 residential lots at 163 Pass Road and the construction of public open space infrastructure on 46A Angelina Drive, Rokeby to proceed – prior to the community facilities including the ‘Windmill Park’ and the language school which were originally intended to be in the next stage of the proposal.

The applicant has advised the proposed subdivision of serviced and residential zoned land, will contribute to the construction of road, water, and stormwater infrastructure in the area and forms a logical progression of the subdivision given the frontage to Pass Road.

The development at 163 Pass Road, Rokeby will connect to the approved subdivisions to the north and east, and the developers have claimed this will support the progress of the Rokeby development.

If approved, this will mean a total of 681 residential lots will be able to be developed on the “ParanVille” site, before any of the non-residential aspects, such as the above-mentioned language school and community facilities. The implications of approving this request to alter the staging originally proposed and approved will de-emphasise the non-residential aspects of the development, including the language school and community facilities.

2020 CONSULTATION FOR THE PREVIOUS AMENDMENT REQUEST

What was shared for the 2020 consultation

Developers of ”ParanVille”, a residential and mixed-use subdivision at Pass Road, Rokeby have written to the council to seek approval for a variation to the ParanVille Master Plan.

The request has been made as part of a 126 lot subdivision for 145 Pass Road, Rokeby which is now on hold until this matter is resolved.

The proposal is for 115 residential lots and two public open space to proceed – prior to the community facilities including the ‘Windmill Park’ and the language school which were originally intended to be in the next stage of the proposal.

The applicant has advised the proposed subdivision of serviced and residential zoned land, will contribute to the construction of road, water, and stormwater infrastructure in the area.

The development at 145 Pass Road, Rokeby will connect to the approved subdivisions to the east and south, and the proprietors have claimed this will support the progress of Rokeby development.

If approved, this will mean a total of 649 residential lots will be able to be developed on the “ParanVille” site, before any of the non-residential aspects, such as the above-mentioned community facilities.


Background to the 2020 consultation

There has been considerable delay in developing this site which was first approved in 2009.

The land is zoned General Residential, Public Open Space, Community Purpose, Rural Resource and Local Business and subject to the Bushfire Prone Areas, Waterway & Coastal Protection, Inundation Prone Areas, Road and Railway Assets and Stormwater Management Codes under the Clarence Interim Planning Scheme 2015 (the Scheme).

Clauses within the ParanVille Specific Area Plan requires that the subdivision must follow the Master Plan and that the land must be developed in line with the Staging Plan, unless otherwise approved in writing by Council.

The revised subdivision application proposes minor changes to the lot layout with the main change being to relocate one of the roads so that it adjoins the public open space lot.

The other, major change is to alter the approved staging, specifically to develop part of Stages 3 and 4 (not including the Windmill Heritage Park) of the approved Staging Plan, before Stages 1 and 2.

The already approved staging areas are as follows:

  • Stage 1 of the approved staging plan includes the construction of the main access road through the site, the Village Hall, Stokell Creek Landscape Reserve (Substage 1), 62 Community Living lots, Language School and Residence Hall (Substage 1).
  • Stage 2 includes seven lots for community living, Village garden/parkland and 44 lots for community living, Stokell Creek Landscape Reserve (Substage 2) and Language School and Residence Hall (Substage 2).
  • Stage 3 includes 54 lots for community living, 39 residential lots and 11 residential lots.
  • Stage 4 includes Local Business Zone, 11 community living lots, forest reserve, 19 residential lots, Windmill Heritage Interpretation Park and sports facilities (Substage 1).

The implications of approving the request to alter the staging originally proposed and approved, will de-emphasise the non-residential aspects of the development, including the language school and community facilities and there must be some doubt now as to whether these will eventuate.
