The City of Greater Bendigo is hosting a free information session on subdividing residential land on Thursday at La Trobe Art Institute at 121 View Street, Bendigo on Thursday September 3 from 5.30pm-6.30pm.
At the session, attendees will hear from City experts about how to subdivide a block of land.
The practical session will explain the steps involved, what needs to be considered, and give people a chance to ask questions.
More than 90 per cent of the region’s houses are large, free-standing houses. At the same time, many people are looking for smaller houses that are easier to look after.
Acting Manager Strategic Planning Lauren Watt said it was important to provide a variety of housing types to meet different community needs.
“By the 2050s, Greater Bendigo will need another 38,000 homes. Through the Managed Growth Strategy, the City is planning for a future Greater Bendigo with a mix of housing types. This includes family homes, smaller homes, student accommodation, second dwellings (a small second house behind an existing house) and apartments,” Ms Watt said.
“These types of homes can be built in existing urban areas where people are close to education, jobs, services, shops, and public transport.
“Subdividing land to allow for new homes can also make an important contribution to the mix of housing types available for a growing community.
“This free session is for anyone thinking about subdividing their land. It will help people understand what is involved before starting a project.”
The information session on Understanding Subdivision is on Thursday September 3 from 5.30pm-6.30pm at La Trobe Art Institute, 121 View Street.
