Roc South Eastern Pl Hallam Patched [BEST]

Major road upgrades in the 2000s and 2010s (including the Hallam Road level crossing removal project, completed in 2022-2023) required land resumption. The original ROC didn’t reflect the new road boundaries. A patch updates the ROC to match as-constructed conditions.

Post-patch tests showed:

Consider 24 Waratah Avenue, Hallam (a fictional but representative example). The original 1985 ROC showed a 612 m² lot with a 2.4m-wide drainage easement along the rear. In 2022, South East Water needed to replace a main and discovered the easement was actually 1.8m wide and located 1m east of its documented line. roc south eastern pl hallam patched

The resulting ROC South Eastern PL Hallam Patched shifted the easement by 0.5m south and corrected the lot depth. The owner, who had planned to build a granny flat, was able to proceed because the patch clarified the no-build zone. No compensation was owed; the patch simply matched reality.

Hallam is a suburb located approximately 35 km southeast of Melbourne’s CBD, within the City of Casey. It is bounded by the Princes Freeway (M1) to the north, Eumemmerring Creek to the west, and Hallam Road to the east. Hallam experienced significant residential and light-industrial development from the 1980s onward. Post-patch tests showed: Consider 24 Waratah Avenue, Hallam

Many older subdivisions in Hallam were originally laid out under the South Eastern Plan framework. These plans often contained anomalies: misplotted boundaries, incorrect easement locations, or inconsistent lot dimensions caused by outdated surveying techniques or degraded physical markers.
