Bena Road Korumburra - Long Lots

Benasunset 2 Published Monday, 11th August 2025

Update: Community feedback for the Bena Road long lots has been extended to Friday 26 September to allow for feedback after the information session on Tuesday 23 September.

Council will be holding a 'drop-in' information session at the Korumburra Community Hub to answer any questions about the Bena Road Long Lots proposed plan. 
It is not a presentation, so attendees can arrive at any time during the period above to have their questions answered.

Here are the details: 

  • Date: Tuesday 23 September.
  • Time: 5.00pm to 8.00pm.
  • Place: Korumburra Community Hub.

Council is considering options for how land on the northern side of Bena Road (lots between 8A and 62 Bena Road, Korumburra) could potentially be subdivided and is seeking feedback from local residents.

Land lots in Bena Road are unique as they are very long but also quite narrow. They have potential for future subdivision, but without a coordinated plan as to how this could occur, there is a risk of ad hoc development that could compromise the character of the area. The lots are zoned General Residential and, under the South Gippsland Planning Scheme, may currently be subdivided for residential development without a specified minimum lot size.

To address this, Council has prepared a plan illustrating how coordinated development could take place along Bena Road over the next 20 to 30 years. The plan aims to optimise the potential for subdividing the land into lots ranging from 500 to 700 square metres, while also providing a road network that supports safe vehicle and pedestrian access. It also considers appropriate stormwater flow paths and drainage solutions and seeks to minimise impacts on existing sewerage infrastructure crossing the area. The draft plan details the creation of 112 lots.

We encourage impacted and nearby residents to speak directly with Council’s Planning team on 5662 9200 to learn more about the Plan.
