New Mareeba lots coming on line
NEW lots are being opened up for more residential housing, with Mareeba Shire Council approving two developments that will deliver a total of 41 lots onto the market.
The council approved a 27-lot development in Peters Street which will be done in two stages.
Most lots on the 4.7 hectare site will be around 900sq m, with land to the south of the new subdivision being developed as The Edge residential estate.
The council also approved an extension of the Wylandra Estate, creating a further 14 rural residential lots.
The report noted that localised flooding was experienced in the Ray Road area during Cyclone Jasper which impacted a number of properties.
“The applicants’ engineers have recommended a large detention basin be installed downstream from this stage of the estate to help minimise downstream impacts,” the council report stated.
“Council officers and council’s third-party consulting engineers are in agreeance with this approach, which has been reflected in the suite of recommended conditions.”
