Summary

The objective is to amend the property boundary of the block area to include the expropriated alluvial area. An alluvial area is a former water area that, due to reclamation, a drop in water level or overgrowth, has permanently become a dry land area.

In the early 2000s, the alluvial area was expropriated into the property. However, the approved 2009 plan did not take new property boundary into account. All other items in the previous detailed plans will remain in force; there will be no other changes.

Shortened detailed plan process

The impacts of the amendment to the detailed plan are minor, which means that the preparations for it will follow a shortened detailed plan process.

The planning material will not be visible on the website during the preparation phase but will be communicated by letter to the parties involved, such as nearby neighbours. At the proposal stage, the plan material will be available for review on this page, and you can leave an objection about it if you wish.

If you have any questions or comments on the plan, please contact its planners.
