Developers set to chip in $11.5 million for first stage of Jetty Road DEVELOPERS will foot the bill for more than $11 million of infrastructure costs under a new City of Greater Geelong formula for fudning development of Clifton Spring’s Jetty Road growth area. Councillor Andrew Katos, who holds council’s planning portfolio, said the new development contributions plan (DCP) overlay set

out the developers’ share of payments for a range of “required” community infrastructure. The contributions for the first stage of developing the Jetty Road area would be worth about $11.5 million. Cr Katos said other funding for the development plan would come from community levies, utility service provider contributions and council,

State Government and community group capital works projects. Part of the infrastructure included development of a “primary road network” to service the 1675 allotments in stage one, he said. The network, also to service stage two of the development, would run between Portarlington Road and Bellarine Rail Trail.

Cr Katos said council would use a public acquisition overlay on the road network plan to ensure it was established “in a timely mannner”. The DCP would replace a Section 173 agreement for developer contributions, so Planning Minister Justin Madden must approve a planning scheme amendment. The developers of stage one had

submitted their plans for council for approval. “Providing this plan is approved by council, the physical development of stage one of the project should begin later this year,” Cr Katos said. A council spokesperson said the DCP capped the developer’s levy at $900 per dwelling but would only apply to stage one.

The new Harcourts team: Ivan Fantela, Catherine Setchell, Ida Adam, Chritina Angelevski, Joe Grgic, Marie Grgic, Mario Grgic, Helena Fantela, Angela Criscione, Anne Costigan, Melissa Brennan.

Family agent becomes Harcourts NORTH Geelong Real Estate has been in the Grgic family for almost 20 years but now family patriarch Mario, son Joe and daughter Helen Fantela are opening their doors to a new business name. The well-known agency has rebranded under the Harcourts banner with an emphasis on exploring the opportunities for the growing name in Geelong real estate. Director Joe Grgic said his team was

excited to join the Harcourts brand. “We’re a family business with a good reputation built on solid results, service and integrity, so we wanted a company that fit in with our culture and ethos and which would help us achieve a greater level of service and results,” Mr Grgic said. “Harcourts offers this with its technology, systems and marketing strength.” Mr Grgic said his family was

confident its 55 years of combined real estate experience and local knowledge was the key to ongoing success under the expanding Harcourts banner in Geelong. “We’ve always been local and our key has always been our superior knowledge and support of the local community,” he said. The introduction of the prestigious Harcourts name into Geelong’s northern suburbs was further

evidence the area was “finally getting the industry “recognition” it deserved, he said. “The local market is strong. With close proximity to Melbourne, the market in Geelong’s northern suburbs will continue to grow.” Mr Grgic said that as a Harcourts agency his team would sharpen its focus on long-term growth in the Geelong area. “We aim to improve our business

Dreaming of a house with a pool?

and strengthen our position further in our current marketplace,” he said. “After we have achieved those goals we’ll then look to share our success within other areas.” The Grgic family branch is the second Harcourts office to open in Geelong this year, with Donna EllmerBuckingham operating the other office in Ryrie Street. Harcourts also has a network of offices in metropolitan Melbourne.
