An outstanding opportunity presents itself to acquire the best and most strategically important waterfront development site in South East Australia:
• Northerly aspect & panoramic views.
• Absolute water frontage to mean high water mark (MHWM)
• Directly opposite an active deepwater port (Snug Cove) with full port facilities
• Direct proximity to a proposed Marina, and opportunity to develop and manage it.
• Halfway between Sydney and Melbourne, 3 hours drive to Canberra
• Mixed use zoning suitable for a mix of commercial and residential development, potential subdivision.
Perfectly positioned fronting the mean high-water mark (MHWM) to a magnificent, protected bay known as Yallumgo Cove (also known as Ross Bay), fringed by a private beach, ideal for safe swimming, snorkeling, scuba, paddleboarding and more. With several small reefs at the entrance to the cove it is protected from large waves but still allows access to smaller vessels.
With an area of 1.955 ha, the site has a level 70.5m frontage to Imlay Street which is directly opposite the Snug Cove port area. The site then rises gently to the east up Weecoon Street (180m frontage). Boasting a sunny northerly aspect, with approx. 220m of absolute water frontage ranging from sandy beach to rocky foreshore – all easily accessible.
Providing sweeping elevated views over Yullumgo Cove & beach across Snug Cove and the port area taking in the proposed marina site in Snug Cove, the jetties and across Twofold Bay to its western hinterland.
The site is the “key” development site in the Snug Cove/Port precinct.
• The Port of Eden is the maritime gateway to SE Australia. Being the only safe, all weather deep-water Port strategically located mid-way between Sydney and Melbourne and 3 hours from Canberra (or the Snow Fields). The port is a Declared first point of entry (FPOE) for Australian Border Force (Customs and Immigration). With Snug Cove now accessible to international and domestic cruise ships.
• Transport NSW in partnership with Bega Valley Shire Council is planning a new marina and associated works in Snug Cove behind the recently completed wave attenuator. The proposed Marina will be the only Marina capable of servicing any larger vessels including super yachts travelling between Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania. It is the missing maritime linkage. This subject site is undoubtedly in the “Box Seat” to take advantage of the new Marina.
• The latest news from Transport NSW is that the proposed marina will be increased in size from 79 berths to 130 berths and a new EOI will be offered in the next few months. Providing potential to secure a direct relationship with the proposed Marina in Snug Cove just under 200m walking distance. For any vessels using the proposed Marina – this is the closest and most easily accessible site.
The subject site is the most important “key” development site in the port precinct being located immediately adjacent to the Port Area with direct level access. It is the perfect site for a Resort Hotel with Commercial and Residential development.
