Stage one of the Kilgariff Estate has sold out,

EIGHTY-SEVEN “affordable” houses could be added to the Alice Springs market if a development application (DA) for a subdivision is approved this week.

The development, flagged for 155 Colonel Rose Drive in Kilgariff for Stage 2 of the Kilgariff Estate to create 87 lots, is expected to create an estimated 200 local jobs.

The DA, lodged by Masterplan NT, says stage one of the Kilgariff Estate has sold out, “proving there is a demand for affordable housing land in Alice Springs”.

The development is described as “a mix of affordable and attractive housing options appropriate for the Alice market, and in line with the intent of the Kilgariff Area Plan”.

The vision for Kilgariff is to promote housing diversity, affordability and good connections to Alice Springs.

The proposed subdivision will cover an approximate land area of 11.55ha.

“The application proposes a fairly low density subdivision with a mix of LR lot sizes ranging from 550m² to 989m²,” the DA reads.

“The subdivision design for Stage 2 includes one designated parcel to be developed as a neighbourhood park, drainage reserves will also be partially landscaped and available as informal public open space for passive recreational use.”

It will consist of a mix of traditional single dwelling lots and a multiple dwelling product.

The subject site had been used for horticultural research and grazing since the 1950s and is located entirely within the former Arid Zone Research Institute (Department of Primary Industry and Resources) paddocks.

In March 2012, the land was rezoned to FD (Future Development) and the Kilgariff Area Plan was introduced into the NT Planning Scheme.

Stage 1 of Kilgariff was approved on 18 December 2013 for the purpose of a staged subdivision to create 33 Lots in Stage 1(a) and 47 Lots in Stage 1(b). The application for stage two will go before the Development Committee Authority on Wednesday.
