The Kurnell Peninsula master plan
Respecting community
For over 160 years, the Holt family has had the honour of being an integral part of the Shire community, and it is our utmost priority to ensure that our plans give back to the community now and into the future.
In preparing our master plan we have sought to:
Contribute to Council’s housing target, by contributing more than 4,000 homes over 20 years
Provide a mix of housing types that meet the needs of our current and future communities and address urban sprawl, including medium to high-rise apartments, duplexes and townhouses, and affordable rental housing
Support Shire residents to stay in their communities as they age, with dedicated seniors housing across independent living units and a residential aged care facility.
Boost the local economy by creating more than 2,000 local jobs in the tourism, aged care, cultural and retail sectors
Taking a landscape led approach to design, by dedicating two-thirds of the site to open space and regenerating the pre-colonial natural landscape.
Create a world-class tourism and cultural learning precinct to elevate the experience of and learning from Country.
Community consultation
The proposal was developed over many years through a series of engagement and consultation with the Council, State Government Agencies, the Government Architect NSW, local communities including the Aboriginal community.
As with all planning proposals, this was the first step in a long process to achieve our vision for Bidhiinja Beach.
Throughout the years we continued to provide the community with information on our plans via this website and local precinct meetings. Future opportunities to learn more and provide feedback will also be promoted in the same way.
In September 2024, the project was approved to progress as a State Assessed Planning Proposal (SARP) under the DPHI’s State Significant Rezoning Policy
The planning proposal has been endorsed by the DPHI and is currently on Public Exhibition until 11 May 2026. The community can view the proposal and make formal submissions via the following link https://www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/ppr/kurnell-peninsula .
Should the DPHI then approve the rezoning, any resultant development would be the subject of future development applications.
