Malak Caravan Carve Up Carnage
On the NT Gov Planning site there is a proposal to carve up the Malak Caravan site.
Submissions close Midnight Friday, 15 April 2022. https://www.ntlis.nt.gov.au/planning-notices-online/notices#/
On this page we have the Rezoning and the Current Proposal.
OUR THOUGHTS ON THE CURRENT PROPOSAL ARE:
- Why has no referral to the EPA occurred given the proximity to Rapid Creek.
- A significant change from grassed open space to solid foundations will occur if this development is approved.
- How many community members submitted on the rezoning?
- Will the Sound Barrier wall to McMillans Road be maintained in good order? Lee Point and other locations show that there is no guarantee of upkeep of these walls.
- The small blocks are 400sqm and if all blocks are developed to capacity the maximum number of dwellings able to be accommodated in the proposed subdivision is 98 dwellings
- Battern Road - At this stage, the future connection to Batten Road is not resolved, and will be done so as part of a future application for stage 2 of the subdivision.
- The applicant seeks variation to building envelopes on a number of lots. On a green fields build we consider that this should not be required.
This is the current proposal

The Rezoning was carried out last year
Two documents found on-line regarding the proposed subdivision.
The first indicates the proposed amendment from a zone CV to zone LMR had an exhibition period from 16 April 2021 to 14 May 2021.
The second indicates that the planning scheme was then amended in mid-September, 2021, allowing for a change from zone CV to zone LMR.
To quote the Minister: ... the proposed rezoning would be unlikely to compromise or impact the
land, its ecological processes or the quality of life for future generations; ...
