In June 2025 the Southern Regional Planning Panel approved our development application (DA-2023/895) to create lots for around 50 future homes.

The application was lodged with Wollongong City Council in November 2023 and publicly exhibited in late 2023. We worked to meet Council requirements, and provide for best practice energy, water, waste and environmental management. 

Approved plans include:

• lots for a mix of housing types to suit different households’ needs, lifestyles and budgets, including freestanding homes, duplexes, terraces and above-garage studios
• 10% of homes set aside as affordable rental housing for people on very low to moderate incomes, subject to approvals and financing
• landscaping with extensive planting of native trees, shrubs and grasses
• two new green spaces, including a pocket park with tiered landscaping, and green space with fantastic views of the coast
• interpretive design features to recognise the site’s history, including using bricks like those used in the former hospital buildings in new retaining and boundary walls, and to reconstruct the former hospital entrance gates as part of a new entry feature wall
• a new access street with around 58 on-street parking spaces, in addition to private parking for new residents in line with Council requirements
• a through-site pedestrian link to improve neighbourhood connectivity.
