Estate Subdivisions
On the southern outskirts of the Moe township, this vacant 16 hectare parcel of land zoned for residential purposes remained vacant due to numerous constraints. In January 2015, VCAT approved subdivision of the land into 102 residential lots, noting that 'the design of this subdivision provides a commendable response to water quality and other environmental conditions'.
This land is wedged between existing residential development and the Edward Hunter Bush Reserve. It contains registered watercourses which, together with the significant bushfire risk presented by adjacent vegetation, required innovative design and problem solving to achieve a functioning residential subdivision that addressed all of the site constraints.
