What's next: The draft DCP for the Redmond Place Precinct will be on public exhibition until Wednesday 6 August, 2025
The DCP provides detailed planning and design guidelines for the 25-hectare residential neighbourhood at the eastern entrance to the city, which will outline requirements for the kind of buildings that can be built. The DCP is also a blueprint for how the new suburb will fit sympathetically within the natural landscape, how the new homes will connect with open space while ensuring the sustainable use of energy and resources.
The project plans to deliver 330 homes across a mix of housing types including single dwellings, duplexes, townhouses, and low-rise apartments, with at least 20 per cent of homes to be set aside as Affordable Housing.
A partnership between Orange City Council and Landcom, the development also includes shared community facilities and more than 5 hectares of open space and parkland.
Planning and Development Policy Committee Chair Cr Mel McDonell welcomed this latest milestone for the project.
"Redmond Place will deliver vital, diverse housing options for our growing community. We want new options for housing but how they fit within the new suburb and connect to the natural landscape and open space is how they can become great homes," Cr McDonell said.
"The Redmond Place Precinct represents the future of sustainable living in Orange. Our aim is to demonstrate that great design is not only marketable but commercially viable. It's great to see the development taking another step forward and I'm excited to see this important development take shape in the future."
The draft DCP for the Redmond Place Precinct will be on public exhibition for 28 days.
The documents are available to view at the Orange Civic Centre during business hours or online here.
