Where Can I Build A New Home In The Shoalhaven?

WHY THE SHOALHAVEN?

The Shoalhaven is located roughly 200km from Sydney and is well known for its miles of magnificent beaches, waterways, impressive scenery and accessible parklands. This idyllic area is home to 109 beaches and a plethora of activity centres, parks, museums, resorts and accommodation options. It boasts temperate year-round conditions that see thousands of tourists visit the area each year.

The Shoalhaven is made up of several coastal towns, including the regional centres of Nowra and Ulladulla. The recent estimated residential population of the Shoalhaven is 103,012 with 63.67 per cent of people living in one family households. The area is showing positive steady growth of housing prices, with more than 58 per cent increase over five years.

Building in Shoalhaven is a great investment whether you choose to live there with your family, use it as a holiday home or rent it out to the thriving holiday crowd.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUILDING IN SHOALHAVEN

1. Ask for the title of the land before buying to find out if there are restrictions, easements or covenants over the land and what effect they may have on your build.
2. Take a look at the Shoalhaven City Council’s zoning maps to find out more about the zoning of land and what building activities are permissible or prohibited.
3. Find out about any existing outstanding notices, planning controls, hazards or orders that may affect the land.

KNOCK DOWN REBUILD AND VACANT LOTS

New homeowners in Shoalhaven have two choices when it comes to building a new home, including:

1. Knock down rebuild – as the name suggests, this involves buying an old house and knocking it down to rebuild to your taste.
2. Buying a vacant lot – and building on it.

The block of land will largely influence your home design. Buying a vacant block that fits your home design will save you a lot of headaches down the line. Knock down rebuilds are another option for those who don’t see the right land that fits their ideal home design.
