16a (ii) - Providing for new and improved residential neighbourhoods to meet identified housing needs.

Representation ID: 734

Respondent: Open Planning

Agent: Open Planning

Representation Summary:

The area along and around Kenway is designated in the Draft CAAP as a Gateway Neighbourhood. This area has undergone significant change recently and although was once predominantly light industrial, is now predominately residential. This area would therefore now better suite residential use. Additionally, there is little demand for the remaining types of light industrial use which is evident from the number of abandoned sites. This may be due to the poor access (e.g. via small residential streets) and/or a change in demand for the type of accommodation that exists.
