The most luxurious development between Sydney and Brisbane coming to Hawks Nest
The 1.6-hectare project, adjacent to the Hawks Nest Golf Club, has been described as the most luxurious development of its kind between Sydney and Brisbane.
The proposal includes three residential flat buildings made up of 104 dwellings. Prices range from $500,000 for a studio apartment to $5million for a penthouse suite.
There will also be two swimming pools, two gyms and a 210-metre underground car park.
It is expected to rival existing luxury developments in Port Stephens, Coffs Harbour and Byron Bay.
Strong interest has already been shown from cashed-up prospective investors from as far away as Brisbane and Melbourne.
Golfing legend Greg Norman, who was previously involved in the project through his design and construction development arm, described the project as a "unique opportunity to capture what the residential market needs today as living outside the city expands."
The Karuah Aboriginal Land Council sold the land to Core Property Developments Pty Ltd and Leric Group Pty Ltd in 2018.
MidCoast Council voted in April 2021 to change the zoning from RE1 Public Recreation to R3 Medium Density Residential, increasing the maximum permissible building height from 8.5m to 12m.
The project was one of 18 housing proposals Planning Minister Paul Scully declared as state significant, following recommendations from the Housing Delivery Authority in March.
Tourism contributes $52 million to the Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens economies each year.
Myall Coast Chamber of Commerce and Tourism committee member Rick Wraight said the development was expected to inject an additional 10 million into the local economy and create about 50 permanent jobs.
"It will provide a much-needed economic boost to the local area," he said.
Hawks Nest Golf Club will host the Hawks Nest Beachside Pro-Am from 5-6 September.
The two-day, 36-hole event will attract professional golfers from across Australia to compete for a share in the $50,000 prize purse, alongside over 280 amateur players.
Indirectly, Hawks Nest Beachside development will also provide a boost to other local projects, such as continuing dredging maintenance of the Myall River.
The river, which is an economic lifeline to the area, has been struggling due to its inability to flush into Port Stephens.
A dredging project, funded by the state government through Transport for NSW and delivered by MidCoast Council, is presently removing several thousand tonnes of sand from the river.
A development application for a $100million Hawks Nest Beachside residential oasis is due to be lodged before the end of the year.

Tax reform on the agenda of economic roundtable
Sabra Lane: Independent economist Chris Richardson will be at the summit later in the week, specifically talking about tax. Chris Richardson, welcome back to AM. Chris Richardson: Many thanks, Sabra. Sabra Lane: Productivity might seem like a really dry topic, but why is this important for all Australians? Chris Richardson: Because it's our living standards. The most overused quote in economics, and it's the most overused because it's the best, is that productivity isn't everything, but in the long run it is almost everything, and it is absolutely what underpins our living standards. Sabra Lane: Now you point out that during the past 10 years, Australia's living standards rose 1.5% compared with 22% by the rest of the rich world. That seems incredible. What's happened? Chris Richardson: We've run into heavy weather on a bunch of fronts. In many ways, we were able to slipstream the rise of China, but that is less available to us now as something to speed along our living standards. And whereas in decades past, governments of all stripes were a little more willing to take on difficult reforms, for some decades now those reforms have been harder to come by at the state level and at the federal level. Sabra Lane: Now we had a federal election three months ago. Lots of promises were made by the major parties. Shouldn't this have been a big issue then? Chris Richardson: Look, I think so, but I also think it is magnificent that the government has this roundtable to bring it front and centre. You can't change Australia until Australia needs to understand that it has to change. And that is the challenge. Many people think, well, there are problems, but what exactly do we do? And I would say that's a central thing that this roundtable in Canberra has to do, is to start to make people understand that we can and should change on a bunch of fronts. Sabra Lane: Do you think this three-day summit can achieve meaningful change? There are lots of vested interests, unions and businesses arguing against each other's ideas. There are lots of egos. How worried are you this becomes a big conversation and nothing more? Chris Richardson: Well, success will absolutely ride on compromise. I mean, if everybody says, you know, you can't do this, you can't do that, you can't do something that I 99% agree with because it's not 100% agreement from me. You know, basically, if everybody jumps into their usual foxholes, it does get harder. I certainly think that people need to walk into the room, check their egos and, you know, I'm as guilty as anyone there Sabra, but also check, I guess, their background, their hats, who they work for. Sabra Lane: Compromise is pretty hard to achieve, isn't it? Chris Richardson: And I would say it's become harder to achieve over time. And more broadly, if you want to change any nation around the world, including Australia, that's a tougher gig than it used to be. Change is hard. And some of the changes, Productivity Commission is out this morning pointing out that, you know, you can only float the dollar once. Some of the things that Australia has successfully done in times past have been great. But we do need to look around and say, well, what else can we do? Sabra Lane: In the lead up to this summit, there's been a lot of attention about taxes, artificial intelligence and regulation. What about spending and reining that in? At a time when parties are talking up spending on defence, health, the National Disability Insurance Scheme, should we also be having a conversation about government spending? Chris Richardson: And spending's on the agenda as well. That's there on Thursday, the last day. Yeah, you know, the I think back at the very start, the Treasurer said, you know, don't rule anything out. And you absolutely need to consider everything if you're going to ask the basic question of, well, how can we do a better job around Australian prosperity, Australian fairness into the future? Sabra Lane: What's at stake? Chris Richardson: It is so hard to get any nation to change. And national conversations get lost in a welter of voices these days. You can't do this, you can't do that. It's the point you mentioned, it's the point that I jump up and down about. Our living standards haven't done well under either political party for quite a while now. I think Australia needs to rise to that challenge. Sabra Lane: Thank you, Chris Richardson. And good luck. Chris Richardson: Many thanks, Sabra.

The most luxurious development between Sydney and Brisbane coming to Hawks Nest
A development application for a $100million Hawks Nest Beachside residential oasis is due to be lodged before the end of the year.

Major step forward for Broadmeadow precinct: 3200 homes to be built
The Broadmeadow precinct has taken a major step forward with the completion of the state-led rezoning of the first four government-owned sites. It marks the beginning of the most significant urban renewal project to be undertaken in Greater Newcastle, which will occur progressively over the next 30 years. New planning controls will enable up to 3200 homes to be built on government-owned land, including five to 10 per cent affordable housing, while supporting up to 2350 new construction jobs. "This rezoning is a huge win for the Hunter and marks another important step towards making this major project a reality," Minister for the Hunter Yasmin Catley said. "People have been waiting a long time for clarity around this site. The community has been calling for certainty and that's exactly what we're delivering today. This project isn't just about building homes; it will also create thousands of new jobs for our region." The Hunter Central Coast Development Corporation (HCCDC) will be the delivery co-ordination agency and will support the transformation of the 313-hectare precinct into a vibrant community with services and access to entertainment and sporting facilities. The completion of the rezoning for the four state-owned sites (Go Karts and stadium forecourt, Newcastle Showground, Basketball Stadium and PCYC and the Locomitive Heritage Park) comes less than a month after the Property Council called for the finalisation of the precinct's stage 1 rezoning, the commitment of critical funding, and the appointment of a dedicated agency to coordinate delivery. The rezoning will preserve significant heritage sites and deliver new public and green spaces, as well as new pedestrian and transport links to connect to surrounding areas, including Broadmeadow Train Station. The Newcastle Herald reported last month that a new Newcastle Entertainment Centre, considered to be the centrepiece of the precinct, had been listed in the planning section of the NSW Infrastructure Pipeline website. The pipeline provides a forward view of state government infrastructure that is under development. It includes infrastructure projects with a minimum capital value of $50 million that the government has committed to commence planning for. A newly released artist's impression shows the entertainment centre located adjacent to Hunter Stadium. "Broadmeadow is about to enter an exciting new chapter. This rezoning will help deliver new homes, including much-needed affordable housing, and jobs right in the heart of Greater Newcastle," Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said. "The NSW government is working to provide new well-located homes for Broadmeadow, which will deliver new jobs and an economic boost in the Hunter region. The Broadmeadow Place Strategy, approved earlier this year and jointly delivered by the state government and the City of Newcastle, will guide new development in the precinct. HCCDC will now prepare an infrastructure delivery plan for the rezoned land, in collaboration with the City of Newcastle and other relevant state government agencies. Newcastle MP Tim Crakanthorp said the renewal would breathe new life into Greater Newcastle. "Locals will be able to live, work and play in a community that's vibrant, sustainable, and well-connected," he said. "This project will create thousands of jobs for our region, both during construction and over the long term, bringing new energy and opportunity to Broadmeadow.

The Hunter Central Coast Development Corporation (HCCDC) will be the delivery co-ordination agency and will support the transformation of the 313-hectare precinct into a vibrant community with services and access to entertainment and sporting facilities. The completion of the rezoning for the four state-owned sites (Go Karts and stadium forecourt, Newcastle Showground, Basketball Stadium and PCYC and the Locomitive Heritage Park) comes less than a month after the Property Council called for the finalisation of the precinct's stage 1 rezoning, the commitment of critical funding, and the appointment of a dedicated agency to coordinate delivery. The rezoning will preserve significant heritage sites and deliver new public and green spaces, as well as new pedestrian and transport links to connect to surrounding areas, including Broadmeadow Train Station. The Newcastle Herald reported last month that a new Newcastle Entertainment Centre, considered to be the centrepiece of the precinct, had been listed in the planning section of the NSW Infrastructure Pipeline website. The pipeline provides a forward view of state government infrastructure that is under development. It includes infrastructure projects with a minimum capital value of $50 million that the government has committed to commence planning for. A newly released artist's impression shows the entertainment centre located adjacent to Hunter Stadium. "Broadmeadow is about to enter an exciting new chapter. This rezoning will help deliver new homes, including much-needed affordable housing, and jobs right in the heart of Greater Newcastle," Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said. "The NSW government is working to provide new well-located homes for Broadmeadow, which will deliver new jobs and an economic boost in the Hunter region. The Broadmeadow Place Strategy, approved earlier this year and jointly delivered by the state government and the City of Newcastle, will guide new development in the precinct. HCCDC will now prepare an infrastructure delivery plan for the rezoned land, in collaboration with the City of Newcastle and other relevant state government agencies. Newcastle MP Tim Crakanthorp said the renewal would breathe new life into Greater Newcastle. "Locals will be able to live, work and play in a community that's vibrant, sustainable, and well-connected," he said. "This project will create thousands of jobs for our region, both during construction and over the long term, bringing new energy and opportunity to Broadmeadow. It's about investing in our future and creating a thriving, connected community."
