• To remove the current non-conforming status of 84 Hilliard’s Road, an existing, developed, single residential property, by changing the property zone from the current Comprehensive Residential Density Area (CRDA) to Residential Medium Density (RMD);
• To provide additional RMD sites to be developed with access via Hilliard’s Road;
• To provide additional OS zoned lands adjacent the George Daddy Dawe Memorial Soccer Pitch and O’Connell Drive as additional amenity space;
