THE PROPERTY
The subject property has a land area of 8,112m 2 and is strategically located at the entrance to Nowra city. Featuring wide f rontages to three streets the site offers excellent exposure to a consistent and high volume of vehicular traff ic. There is a requirement to retain a 2,000m 2 curtilage around Graham Lodge which provides a development area of 6,112m 2 approx. to the Northern side of the site. The site and the vision should combine to provide parties with an opportunity to create a gateway entrance statement development. Erected on the land are two buildings; 1. Graham Lodge was constructed in 1860 and is historically signif icant due to its noteworthy aesthetic quality as a substantial nineteenth century Victorian Georgian residence. The building is generally structurally sound, however, in its current condition requires both internal and balcony work to bring the building up to standard. Shoalhaven City Council has a conservation management plan for the building that is available for viewing by any interested purchaser. A land curtilage of 2,000m² is required around Graham Lodge
2. A single level commercial style building with car park is erected to the northern section of the land. This building is currently occupied by Bee Thai Restaurant (Unit Two), approximately 235m² of gross floor area and seats around 50 guests inside with outside seating also available. The remaining floor area (Unit One) is currently occupied by Shoalhaven City Council. This area is approximately 250m² in gross floor area. The site is also home of the Navy’s Iroquois helicopter, a local icon, and the intention is for the helicopter to remain insitu. The maintenance of the helicopter is the sole responsibility of the Navy. Council has registered on title a ‘Restriction of the use of the land’ under Deposited Plan DP1231196 comprising 277.2m² around the helicopter. Council is the sole benef iciary Authority to the associated 88B instrument.

Nowra Riverf ront Task Force The Nowra Riverf ront Precinct provides a signif icant opportunity to shape the future of Nowra and strengthen its role as the civic, community, tourism and recreational hub for the Shoalhaven region. The key principals of this redevelopment are: • Connect Nowra CBD to the riverf ront • Revitalise the riverf ront • Improve open space along the river On 12 November 2020, the NSW Government established a Nowra Riverf ront Advisory Taskforce to drive the revitalisation of the Nowra riverf ront precinct and assist in fast-tracking the development of the site. The group is co-chaired by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment and the Department of Regional NSW with membership including: the Member for South Coast, the Hon Shelley Hancock MP; the Member for Kiama, the Hon Gareth Ward MP; the Member for Gilmore, Mrs Fiona Phillips MP and representatives f rom Shoalhaven City Council and other key agencies. A joint state and local government approach will ensure activities are coordinated and aligned to the existing works underway, including the new Nowra Bridge. For more information visit: www.getinvolved.shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au/nowrariverf ront
Nowra Bridge Project The Nowra Bridge project will provide a new four lane bridge over the Shoalhaven River, upgraded intersections and additional lanes on the Princes Highway.

MAJOR REGIONAL PROJECTS
Nowra Hospital The Shoalhaven Hospital Redevelopment will signif icantly improve healthcare services for residents of the Shoalhaven and provide upgraded health facilities and increase the capabilities of the current hospital. The NSW Government has committed $438 million towards the redevelopment, with early work expected to start on site this year.

MARKET COMMENTARY The previously outlined Regional Projects conf irm the amount of public and private investment committed to benef iting the Shoalhaven Region. Signif icant road upgrades have greatly shortened the travel distance f rom both Sydney and Wollongong to Nowra. This has seen prices rise in all real estate markets in the region in the past 2 years. As major roadworks continue to be completed this price increase cycle is expected to continue. In addition to major works the past 15 months has seen a residential shift f rom major cities to the benef it of Regional centres. Nowra and the South Coast areas have certainly experienced this.
