Draft City Plan Major Update - New Communities (Eggersdorf Road, Ormeau)

The City of Gold Coast recently endorsed the Draft City Plan Major Update - New Communities (Eggersdorf Road, Ormeau) to go out for public consultation.

Detailed changes are outlined in the Draft City Plan Major Update.

Proposed updates include:

• 248 Eggersdorf Road, Ormeau is proposed to be included in the Emerging community zone with a density of RD1 up to 25 dwellings per net hectare (1 dwelling/400m²) to consolidate population growth in ‘priority growth areas’ for land recently included in the Urban Footprint of ShapingSEQ Regional Plan 2017.
• Conceptual land use map 05 – Ormeau and Ormeau Hills is proposed to be updated to assist with planning for delivery of community facilities, including provision of a linear park along the Pimpama River conservation area and centrally located / functionally sized recreation parks which maximises the number of future residents living within walking distance.
• Refinement of mapping for a bioregional corridor between the Wongawallan Hinterland and Moreton Bay (Ecological significance Biodiversity Areas Overlay Map - Hinterland to Coast Critical Corridor) is proposed to protect a suitable area of land (including flood free areas), some of which requires extensive restoration works.
