New South Wales’ South Coast is one of the most beautiful and idyllic stretches of coastline in Australia. It has not only four spectacular beaches at its doorstep, but also nearby Killalea State Park and Bass Point Coastal Reserve.
The Development:
The Shell Cove development is a land and residential development that is focused on building a community feel. With shops, cafes, a championship golf course and planned 300 berth boat harbour, Shell Cove offer a great lifestyle for those who live within the development. The focus of the development has been on building infrastructure for residents and a focus on family security. The site includes a community centre, a medical centre, primary school and preschools, walking and cycling tracks, with family being very much at the heart of the development plans.
For golfers The Links Shell Cove is also located within the development and includes a club house, pro shop, restaurant and hotel. The Shell Cove Boat Harbour is currently planned, and promises to be something special, having just won the Concept Design Award at the 2012 UDIA NSW Australia Bricks Awards for Excellence. Whilst the Boat Harbour is an attraction for naval enthusiasts, the planned development will also include entertainment facilities, restaurants and a shopping centre.
An effort has been made to ensure that the site is environmentally sustainable, and that it blends in with the local environment. Efforts have been made to remove polluting sources in the local region, construct compensatory wetlands at nearby Myimbarr and implement initiatives to improve water and power usage on the development site. The Golf Course has been built with storm water recycling facilities and roads designed to maximise solar orientation and reduce energy use. These initiatives will all contribute to the longevity of the region and the ongoing quality of life for residents.
Outside of the development, Shellharbour Village is a short walk or drive away, and has shops, cafes and restaurants. There is also a salt water pool and the popular Shellharbour South Beach.

The last word:
Given the wide range of facilities available on the property, and the future planned developments, this project offer reasonable value to someone who is looking at a long-term investment in the New South Wales South Coast. The facilities available within the development all contribute to a a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle, and provide plenty of opportunity to enjoy the natural environment. Unfortunately the development does not offer house and land packages at this time, which would certainly add value to potential investors, particularly those located overseas. However the land release does offer purchasers the flexibility to build the home of their dreams on one of the land plots available.
