RHEA DEN BRAASEM QUESTION 1 What implications/impact does receiving a grant through the Residential Activation Fund for infrastructure work at 62/64 Lake MacDonald Drive, Cooroy have in relation to community consultation on future use of Lot 2 and 3? Response provided by Kim Rawlings, Director Strategy & Environment Council is committed to community consultation to help shape future land uses on proposed Lots 2 and 3 and Council's success in the Residential Activation Fund does not impact on that commitment. The Residential Activation Fund is for trunk infrastructure not for the housing itself. The infrastructure works will be completed by around March 2026, meeting the three year time frame requirement of the Residential Activation Fund comfortably. Community consultation on future uses for Lot 2 and 3 will likely occur in 2026. QUESTION 2 Will community consultation regarding the future uses of Lots 2 and 3, 64 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy be held before the subdivision works which will provide the trunk infrastructure part of the development? Response provided by Kim Rawlings, Director Strategy & Environment No. Community consultation will not take place prior to the subdivision works being completed. As previously advised community consultation on future uses for Lot 2 and 3 will likely occur in 2026. Most land uses including those identified to be investigated for Lots 2 and 3 by Council resolution dated 23 January 2025, require some level of servicing and infrastructure to operate. The meeting adjourned at 10.27am The meeting resumed at 10.40am.
