The 650-lot Longfield Mosgiel subdivision, which developer Lane Hocking’s Universal Developments is overseeing, was due to have its main launch in March. It incorporates two reserves and playgrounds and a large active reserve running 1.2km through the heart of the subdivision which contains a cycleway and footpath. Cr Andrew Simms, a former chairman of the Mosgiel-Taieri community board, said the company had kept the Mosgiel community informed, despite the community expressing some ongoing concerns. However, the size of the subdivision was in other ways, "very encouraging for the Mosgiel and Taieri communities".
