Located within the south eastern metropolitan area, the Oakland City development consists of a 470Ha area that was identified by the landowners and presented to Urban Dynamics for investigation in 2008. Urban Dynamics then lead a multi-disciplinary team of professionals to investigate the potential of the land, and subsequently planning an integrated settlement on this large land parcel. The outcome of the processes resulted in amendment of the 1988 Guide Plans to incorporate the land for development purposes. Subsequently, the rezoning application process was successfully undertaken by Urban Dynamics, and the City’s Municipal Spatial Development Framework now reflects the land within the urban development edge for urban development purposes. The approved development includes ± 15000 residential opportunities, industrial, mixed use, and commercial development, as well as schools, tertiary education facilities and a network of open space and conservation areas.
