Mooroopna West Growth Corridor Strategy

Mooroopna West Growth Corridor Strategy

Land development pressures on the Greater Shepparton City Council for residential expansion within the growth corridor situated to the west of Mooroopna township is intensifying with the completion of the final stages of existing land release opportunities.

Due to the overall extent of flood prone land surrounding Mooroopna, existing Council policy has directed new residential development to the Mooroopna West Growth Corridor.

The Mooroopna West Structure Plan area ("study area") comprises 329 hectares and is bounded by the established township area situated on the western side of Echuca-Mooroopna Road, as well as Cornish Road to the north, the Goulburn Valley Highway (Shepparton Bypass) reservation to the west and Midland Highway to the south. 

As part of the development of the corridor the Council adopted a Structure Plan and Development Contributions Plan for the study area at the Ordinary Council Meeting on July 7 2009.

Development Contribution Rates

Summary of Development Contribution Rates - Current to 30 June 2012.

These rates should be read in conjunction with the relevant Development Contribution Plan Schedule in the Greater Shepparton Planning Scheme (DCP03).

Mooroopna West Growth Corridor - DCPO3

The development contribution rates are adjusted annually for the duration of this Plan.

The construction costs are adjusted using the Building Price Index (BPI) for Regional Victoria contained within the latest version of Rawlinson's Australia Construction Handbook. It will be calculated after 01st July each year on the date that the BPI is either published or any initial forecast figures are finally confirmed.

The land acquisition valuations for all lands acquired by the Council within the Corridor will also be adjusted in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on the date that the CPI is published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This annual update will take account of the previous quarterly increases published by the Bureau.

The contribution rates were adjusted on 19th January 2012 for the July 2011 to June 2012 period. The next adjustment is due in mid-October 2012 for the July 2012 to June 2013 period (owing to the time delay in the finalisation and confirmation of the June 2012 BPI figures by Rawlinson's).
