PROPERTY developers have put together a plan to convert 15 hectares of rural land in Oakhampton, just outside Maitland, into a 145-lot residential subdivision.
It is expected to have "a relatively large impact" on the area that is home to just 165 people, most of them over 60 years of age, changing it from a rural, large-lot residential area to more of an urban setting, according to a social impact assessment lodged with Maitland City Council.
