Our role: Landcom has masterplanned the estate, with the delivery of built form on individual super lots undertaken by the private sector according to our detailed requirements.

Where it’s up to: Delivery phase. Remediation, infrastructure and civil site works are complete. A large number of community uses are now housed on the site. All homesites have been sold and agreements have been negotiated with Stockland, Sunland and St Lukes/Brookfield Multiplex to deliver the medium density and aged care dwellings. Around 25% of dwellings have been completed. A Reserve Trust has been established to manage the land and building assets which remain in public ownership.

Features: This development is significant for its sensitive environmental, social and heritage issues and its coastal location. Our solution for redevelopment has recognised and addressed these, but at the same time has realised the site’s potential value. The development will provide 900 homes in a diverse range of dwelling types, including aged care. It incorporates an impressive array of social and environmental sustainability initiatives, as well as returning 80% of the site to the public as open space. This includes the golf course that runs along the coast.
