Greater Hume Successful in Regional Housing Strategic Planning Fund

Published on 19 February 2024

Greater Hume Council has been successful in receiving $165,000 of funding under Regional Housing Strategic Planning Fund Round 2. The Regional Housing Strategic Planning Fund is a $12 million competitive grants program that aims to enable and accelerate the delivery of strategic planning projects, technical studies, and policies that support increased housing supply, affordability, diversity, and resilience in regional NSW.  

The grant funding is to progress the master planning of the West Jindera Land Use Precinct, which was identified in the Jindera Residential Land Use Strategy as an area of land that could provide an additional 750 allotments. The West-Jindera Land Use Precinct is located in the area of Council with the highest demand for residential land and where the shortage of land is currently most acute. This area includes land from Pioneer Drive to Adams Street, then Adam Street to Luther Road and Quartz Hill Road.

Rezoning and master planning the West-Jindera Residential Land Precinct has the following objectives:

  • Undertake studies (Environmental and Infrastructure) to inform a planning proposal, Development Control Plan and contributions plan;
  • Prepare a planning proposal;
  • Rezone the land to an R1 zone;
  • Masterplan the precinct resulting in a Development Contributions Plan and contribution plan.

This Masterplan will, through analysis of the environmental and infrastructure delivery constraints, provide a conceptual framework for the residential precinct that will remove uncertainty for developers and make the West-Jindera Residential Land Precinct development ready.
