Dedication of land plan
A Development Application (DA) was approved in December 2020 to build a three-storey seniors housing development at 3 Central Road, Avalon Beach. Refer DA2020/0008.
The approval was given with a Deferred Commencement Condition 1, requiring the developer to enter into a planning agreement with Council to dedicate land 1m wide adjoining the western boundary of Patterson Lane to Council, free of cost.
On 30 August 2021, Council received an offer to enter into a Planning Agreement and a draft Planning Agreement document.
The draft Planning Agreement seeks to facilitate the dedication of land, 1m wide adjoining the western boundary of Patterson Lane, Avalon Beach, to Council. The offer, if approved, will satisfy the requirement set out in Deferred Commencement Condition 1.
The land, to be dedicated to Council, will contain a section of a newly-constructed footpath 1.5m in width. The dedication of land will not occur until this footpath has been constructed by the developer.
