Raw Land Subdivision
Newcastle/Hunter Region
NSW, Australia
An exclusive off-market opportunity to secure a significant raw land subdivision site in one of New South Wales’ fastest-growing urban corridors. Situated within the Newcastle/Hunter Region, this 19-hectare site is zoned R1 (General Residential) and located within a Council-endorsed Urban Land Release Area, making it a strategic development-ready prospect.
This flexible and scalable investment opportunity offers the potential to deliver up to 160 residential lots, with additional options for duplexes, secondary dwellings, and long-term rental holdings.
-
As part of a Council-endorsed masterplan, the site benefits from proactive local support and infrastructure readiness. It is located in a high-growth corridor with planned residential, commercial, and lifestyle infrastructure to support population expansion and housing demand.
-
The site is risk-mitigated, with significant and strong assurances both at a council level as well as site level:
Planning: No DA lodged yet, but Council masterplan includes and supports the site.
Cost Escalation Risk: Mitigated by staged release and delayed acquisition terms.
Land Oversupply: Addressed through staged land releases, build-to-sell options, or rental retention strategies.
Professional Studies: Preliminary only; feasibility formalisation is pending.
-
This rare and scalable land play offers flexibility for a wide range of developers and investors looking to secure a future-proofed foothold in regional NSW’s thriving residential sector.
