Metro Panel Approves Expansion of Tuart Lakes Lifestyle Village in Baldivis
What happened
The Metro Outer Development Assessment Panel approved an expansion for Tuart Lakes Lifestyle Village in Baldivis, adding 51 lots to the existing community. The expansion, which costs $6.48 million, is expected to bring the total number of residences on site to approximately 480. The approval was granted despite the fact that the City of Rockingham did not advertise the proposal for public comment, believing it consistent with previous approvals for the area.

Why it matters
The expansion is situated in an area classed as bushfire prone, requiring a bushfire management plan. The Department of Fire and Emergency Services noted that the increase in dwellings would place additional pressure on the existing water reticulation network. The approval is conditional on the applicant addressing various concerns, including a stormwater management plan to the City of Rockingham's satisfaction.
