- Subject to execution of the Open Space Agreement, the West Development will have in excess of the required 12.5% legislated Open Space allocation, and 15% Open Space as desired by the Planning and Design Code, the developer has committed through the Open Space Agreement to over 18%.
And
- That Council authorises the CEO to sign the draft Open Space Agreement between Council, the Developer (Commercial & General) and the existing landowner (SANFL), within Appendix 1 for the remaining open space within the West Development, with the understanding that the execution of this agreement will enable the balance of remaining open space to be vested to Council in the immediate future.
