Kialla Lakes First concept plan of the new estate takes shape. The developers, Kavant Nominees’ founding director, Lance Woodhouse, Max Brown, Peter Ross Edwards and Norm McArthur had a vision of turning a wheat field south of the Broken River into a series of lakes with a residential development. Grahame Shaw, who was also responsible for development of Patterson Lakes in Melbourne, had come on board and plastered the walls of the Shepparton Council Chamber with his proposal of an estate built around beautiful water features. Kialla Lakes consists of more than 1200 new homes and a new school, St Anne’s, and has won awards as one of the best regional developments in Victoria, a testament to the original team of Kavant directors who helped make Kialla Lakes a fantastic development for families to enjoy a unique lifestyle. Pictured in 2018, from left, Kavant Nominees directors, Willem van Zeist, Lance Woodhouse and chairman, David Fordyce, were proud to have been recognised for Kialla Lakes Estate, runners up for the Urban Development Institute of Australia, Victorian Branch Award of Excellence in Victoria

Council to decide on 2050 Growth Plan

THE Shepparton and Mooroopna 2050 Growth Plan will be tabled for implementation at the Greater Shepparton City Council’s August meeting, after councillors sought further clarification and delayed a vote at July’s meeting.

The vision for Shepparton and Mooroopna identified in the Growth Plan, is that by 2050 it will: • Be a thriving regional hub with diverse and sustainable economy supported by essential infrastructure • Draw new residents and investors to the area due to the affordable and liveable lifestyle • Protect and enhance the natural and cultural heritage significance of the area • Be overseen by engaging, transparent and financially responsible leadership committed to delivering positive and sustainable outcomes

Created in 2018, the Growth Plan was first brought to Council last month however the vote was delayed with further clarification sought over land east of Doyles Road, where issues of rezoning agricultural land had to be considered.

The August Council Meeting is scheduled for August 18.

Meanwhile, Council has begun preparing a structure plan for land in Tatura that will support the growth of the township for the next 30 years.

The plan will guide development of land to north, north-east and east of the township, as identified in the Tatura Framework Plan and will identify all open space, stormwater drainage and transport infrastructure required to support population growth in the area.

Council director Sustainable Development, Geraldine Christou, said, “Greater Shepparton is growing and there is a need to realise additional residential development fronts across the municipality, including our townships.

“The Tatura Structure Plan will guide the sustainable development of Tatura for the next 30 years and will enable more people to move to our municipality and take advantage of our regional lifestyle.”
