Subdivision development application approved
In June 2025 the Southern Regional Planning Panel approved our development application (DA-2023/895) to create lots for 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, plus 10% of homes set aside as affordable rental housing for people on very low to moderate incomes
- 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.

Construction to resume mid-2025
Pending construction approvals and weather, works are expected to restart in mid-2025 and finish in 2026.
Works involve demolition and remediation, followed by the delivery of the new access street and laneway, green spaces and landscaping, and water, sewer and electricity connections for new homes to be delivered by future landowners.

Sales and builder opportunities
The Bulli project features a mix of housing types to provide greater choice, affordability and housing security for a range of residents.
Sales are expected between 2025 and 2026, and include:
- six larger lots sold to builders to deliver 18 duplexes, 15 terraces and two above-garage studios (sales in 2025)
- two larger lots sold to a Community Housing Provider to deliver seven dwellings, of which at least five will be affordable rental housing for people on very low to moderate incomes (sales in 2026)
- eight lots for buyers to build their own freestanding homes (sales in 2026).
