Solomon Heights Subdivision in Sunshine North: A Century-Long Battle for Development
Solomon Heights in Sunshine North has remained undeveloped for 100 years due to planning challenges and environmental concerns. Efforts to kickstart development are underway, with legal battles and regulatory hurdles hindering progress. The area is plagued by illegal rubbish dumping but also houses critically endangered plants. The future of Solomon Heights remains uncertain as stakeholders continue to navigate complex issues.
The failure to develop Solomon Heights has been attributed to planning issues, including limited access, unsuitable lot sizes, and the presence of endangered plants and animals. Efforts to develop the area have faced legal challenges, with Glen Ora seeking water connection permits and rezoning for housing. The company is also involved in a legal battle over illegal rubbish dumping on the land. Solomon Heights is home to critically endangered spiny rice-flowers, adding complexity to development plans. Brimbank City Council has struggled to find a way forward, with proposals for conservation reserves and industrial estates.
