The proposed new Blackbutt residential development in Pine Street (Map: Bing)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 20, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blackbutt may get several hundred new residents and some new, sealed roads after the South Burnett Regional Council today approved an application to reconfigure a single Pine Street lot into 123 lots plus parkland.<\/p>\n

If the residential development proceeds, the section of Pine Street next to the development would be kerbed and sealed.<\/p>\n

Margaret Street would also be extended eastwards along the common property boundary shared between the Pine Street lot and 23 George Street.<\/p>\n

The SBRC approved the proposal subject to a list of conditions that include landscaping the site by establishing vegetation buffers and reserves along two sides; constructing, kerbing and sealing all internal roads, and providing water and reticulated sewerage services to each of the new lots.<\/p>\n

Blackbutt’s water supply scheme and sewerage system would also have their infrastructure upgraded through a cash contribution from the developer in recognition of the extra demands the new lots would put on both systems.<\/p>\n

The project was first put to the Council in 2010 and today’s approval modified some of the conditions the Council had set in August that year.<\/p>\n

The approval granted today has to be acted on within eight years or it will lapse.<\/p>\n
