Ascrub block in Matheson Road and farm paddocks alongside Bolton Oval are among the Millicent locations which consultants suggest could be developed for housing.

The Matheson Road property is public land with native flora and fauna and earmarked as a potential cemetery under current plans while the other suggested area is already cleared.

The 150-page opportunities and constraints technical report on the strategic land use of the 14 townships in the Wattle Range Council area was tabled at the February monthly council meeting in Millicent.

Prepared by Adelaide consultants Holmes Dyer, the document offers suggestions on how the towns could be developed for residential, commercial, industrial, recreational and other purposes over the coming 25 years.

Council has already had a number of workshops with the consultants.

Council chief executive Ben Gower told the meeting the consultants were independent of council while development services director Emma Clay explained the public consultation and adoption processes.

The meeting unanimously resolved to release the Holmes Dyer report for public consultation.

Speaking to The SE Voice after the meeting, Mayor Des Noll urged residents to read the Holmes Dyer report and consider the suggestions.

“Council will value the feedback we receive from the community,” Mayor Noll said.
