Nichols Point Residential Development Plan

Current Status

The Nichols Point Residential Development Plan has now been finalised and was adopted by the Council on 27 October 2021. To ensure the desired development outcomes can be properly funded following changes introduced by the Minister for Planning, a new Development Contributions Plan has been prepared for Nichols Point.

Following preparation of the revised Nichols Point Development Contributions Plan (DCP) it was necessary to implement the changes in conjunction with some revision required for all three Mildura DCPs which were included in Amendment C112mild.  Approval from the Minister for Planning of Amendment C112mild was received (Gazetted) on 27 August 2021. The new DCP provisions relating to Nichols Point have been added into the Mildura Planning Scheme.

Once the revised DCP was approved, the infrastructure contained within the Nichols Point Residential Development Plan has been validated and therefore the plan was reported to Council for final adoption at the ordinary council meeting to be held on 27 October 2021.

Background

The purpose of the plan will be to set out the future policies and direction for the pattern of residential development and infrastructure requirements in Nichols Point and the surrounding area. 

The Plan will show where future residential areas, roads, pathways, parks, wetlands and physical infrastructure will be located.

The map below shows the area which will be included in the Residential Development Plan.
