Property details

Subdivision of the property is permitted under the current zoning, STCA.

Current use of land

Commercial potential of land - primary production

The property has marketable irrigation entitlements and pumping rights from the Nepean River. Ground water is obtained from a 450 metre deep bore located at the north east corner of the property.

More intensive use of pasture with horticulture, glass house and growing igloo farming, viticulture, aquaculture, etc. are possible. Rural tourism and agritourism are future possibilities.

The property is recognised as part of the Wollondilly LGA "Metropolitan Rural Area" (MRA) due to its proximity to Western Sydney International Airport. Being located in the "Paddock to Plane" food producing area of the LGA, perishables can be flown worldwide, directly from the site of production.

Commercial potential of land - development and preservation

As eventual subdivision is anticipated, the property has long-term land banking potential.
The superb and extensive forested bushland resource on steeper ground to the rear of the property is eligible for inclusion in the NSW Government Stewardship Support program which enables landholders to strike a biodiversity stewardship agreement. The value of the sellable biodiversity credits that the property can generate are estimated in excess of $500,000.
