What extra land is being rezoned for residential development, to help manage housing demand in the area?
While the precise numbers of housing blocks developed will be based on detailed plans, and are subject to final rezoning approvals, the following indications are provided on new land release: Boorooma East – 400 lots (approx) Estella West – 2000 lots (approx) Lloyd – 1500 lots (approx) Total new lots if all zonings approved would be around 3900 blocks.
