The Koo Wee Rup Township Strategy (October 2015) identified the land (known as Lot 2) as a potential residential development site.

Council received a request to rezone the land from Farming Zone (FZ) to Neighbourhood Residential Zone Schedule 1 (NRZ1) and resolved to seek authorisation from the Minister for Planning to prepare Amendment C235.

Amendment C235 rezones 145 Rossiter Road, Koo Wee Rup, from Farming Zone (FZ) to Neighbourhood Residential Zone Schedule 1 (NRZ1) and applies Development Plan Overlay 22 (DPO22) which facilitates development and provides guidance on the subdivision layout, location of internal road networks, staging, open space locations, environment and landscaping, traffic and transport, infrastructure and drainage, and urban design and character. It also corrects the mapping for a heritage property named 'Shepton Mallet' known as HO198 in the Cardinia Planning Scheme's Heritage Overlay.

The amendment facilitates the following development components on the site:

• Provide approximately 200 residential lots.
• Provide open space of approximately 1.95ha provided by two parks at varying sizes and contains either remnant vegetation or aboriginal cultural heritage site.
• Protect the Southern Brown Bandicoot corridors.
• Provide a retarding basin and constructed wetland.
• Provide a Tree Protection Reserve along Rossiter Road with shared pathways that connects the development to the town centre.
