Population Growth in The
Grove and Regions Close By
- Mitchelton
- The Mitchelton area
around Blackwood St, Osborne Rd, McConaghy St, Brookside, Prospect Rd
and a fringe residential precinct is planned for increased height
restrictions between 3 and 10 storeys.
- Concerned local
residents from Mitchelton Action Group
(spokesperson Paul Poulus) are concerned that the draft Neighbourhood
Plan would bring an influx of up to 20,000 new residents into
Mitchelton in the next 20 years. "We have estimated if every block were
developed it would lead to somewhere between 29,000 and 40,000 new
residents in a compact area.The planning professionals and urban
designers tested the plans within the building constraints and they
showed an estimated uptake of more than 2,200 people was unlikely.
- The Neighbourhood Plan is a concept plan and it is important to
get community input about what the community wants.
- Upper Kedron
- The Upper Kedron region of The Grove has been identified as an
area where increased population can be channelled. Attempts to track
down exact projected growth figures, growth rates, and eventual
population of Upper Kedron and The Grove have so far not turned up the
exact planning figures, but have located the BCC's
Cityplan 2000 Local Area plan for this region.
