The proposal is to develop Lot 1001 Singleton, a 106 hectare area of land to the north and east of the existing township of Singleton within the City of Rockingham. This involves the rezoning of land which is currently almost entirely zoned Urban Deferred to Urban.

As part of the proposal, the proponent has prepared a structure plan for Singleton which includes the major land uses of; Residential, Public Open Space, primary school, community center, resort hotel, and retirement village (Tingay & Associates, 1992). The Authority understands that this is not the final structure plan for the development, and therefore the assessment is based on broad land use allocations rather than specific details.
