Mount Rascal subdivision proposed
Toowoomba Regional Council has received a development application for the creation of a 23 lot subdivision at 36-56 Tranter Street, Mount Rascal.
The application was submitted by Property Projects Australia on behalf of land owner Tallowood ED Pty Ltd.
The subject site totals 18.5 hectares, with the proposed 23 rural residential lots ranging in size from 4,000m2 to
4.99 hectares.
Of the 23 lots, 21 are less than a hectare in size, one is 2.41 hectares and one is 3.35 hectares, the larger two including significant vegetation covenants.
Some lots will have direct access to Tranter Street, while others will have access from two internal roads that have been proposed to be built in a ‘hammerhead’ shape.
According to the planning report, the site is currently vacant and the majority of it has been historically cleared.
As the site is affected by flooding, overland drainage paths will be contained within drainage easements, with proposed lots each having at least 4,000m2 outside of the drainage area to accommodate this.
To facilitate the new subdivision, Tranter Street will be upgraded to having a 23 metre road reserve width and a
10 metre carriageway width, while the two new roads will have a 18 metre road reserve width and pedestrian footpaths.
