This link will show you the status of all the FastTrack applications.

As far as we know, the Gibbston Valley Station application has progressed no further than the fact it has been approved as one of 149 projects to be reviewed by an Expert Panel. That was on 7 February 2025, 6 months ago!

In the past weeks, there were reports on the other FastTrack applications on the land nearby.

At Ladies Mile, there is a legal battle. Two members of the Expert Panels resigned to avoid a conflict of interest. The developer seeks a Court appeal on the “non-approval” decision of the Expert Panel.

It is important to note that the Expert Panel based their decision on:

”The Project will have adverse effects on the environment that are more than minor. Specifically, the Panel has determined that the Project will have adverse landscape and visual effects and adverse traffic and transport effects that are more than minor, including when taking into account potential mitigation.

The Panel expressly records the following matters: (a) (b) Even if it had reached the view that the Project’s adverse effects were of a minor nature, it nonetheless would have refused consent due to the Application’s very clear lack of alignment with the important group of (strongly worded) PDP objectives and policies referred to above.”

One of the consortium partners of the proposed FastTrack Coronet Village pulled out. He does not support the plan to have 800 homes.
