ADVICE TO PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS


The developers of "The Gilbertson Industrial Estate", Marwen Properties Pty Ltd, have worked closely with Council to create what they believe will be the most desirable Estate of its type.  To protect purchasers there are controls provided by the Planning Scheme, the specific Planning Permits for the site and "The Development Guidelines".

All purchasers must ensure that the controls are suitable to their intended use and this summary has identified some of the key issues to consider from the Planning Permits and "The Development Guidelines".


            The Planning Permit

Conditions 3 & 27  Every Title will be effected by one or more Section 173 Agreement.

Conditions 4 & 7  An archaeological survey and a flora and fauna survey have been undertaken.

Condition 18   Development Guidelines have been proposed and effect the design and use of lots on the plan.

Conditions 19 & 20  There are access restrictions to surrounding roads.

Notes:

  • Access on Boundary Road, Fitzgerald Road and Mt Derrimut Rd is controlled.
  • The permit is for subdivision only, not use and development.
