132 Staff Road, Cordeaux Heights NSW 2526

This unique 54 hectare site is located in the fast growing region of the Illawarra.
This large lot subdivision takes best advantage of the land form and the view with the potential for approximately 44 Lots between 1,000 & 2,800 sqm & 41 Lots from 5,000 sqm

The tranquil setting and secluded location of this site will provide a coastal lifestyle whilst surrounded by natural bush land. Enjoy your privacy in this beautiful setting while still being close to all the Illawarra has to offer. With Wollongong CBD, Schools, beaches, Wollongong University and various surrounding commercial districts a short drive away, you'll have all the convenience and facilities you need.

With reference to the documentation and costings, I offer the following additional information:

Construction costs are based on indicative bill of quantities obtained from the provided preliminary design documentation which includes conceptual bulk earthworks surface, road design, stormwater design, and sewer/potable water design.
The earthworks surface has resulted in a net fill shortage (import requirement) of approximately 116,000 m3. We have assumed that this fill shortage will be addressed with coal wash and that it will be delivered to site at no cost. This is based on our experience with fill dependant developments in the region.
All rates included in the assessment are based on recent tender rates received in the Illawarra from projects of similar magnitude and scope.
Rock strength and associated costs for rock earthworks are based on a preliminary assessment of the geotechnical information provided in the Expression of Interest (Douglas Partners report).
WCC S94 plan indicates that the development is liable for S94A contributions (1% of the construction costs) with no Special Infrastructure Contributions (SIC) applicable.
Potable water connections exist at the end of both Staff Road and Callistemon Road and our costings are based on extending these lines to service the development. We have also included a fee for a small booster pump and for the relocation of the 300mm water main required to support the earthworks for Road 02 and associated building envelope for Lot 50.
The existing sewer at Staff Road and Callistemon Road can accommodate the equivalent population for the E4 zoned land.
On-site sewerage management systems will be utilised for E3 zoned land based on WCC's DCP - Chapter E8 (aerated wastewater treatment system).
No significant lead-ins or backhauls have been allowed for the electrical, NBN, and gas.
