Benefits
for the
Bathurst
Community
Helping Bathurst meet housing diversity targets.
The development will assist in meeting Bathurst Regional Council and NSW Government housing diversity targets by providing a range of housing types and price points that will be attractive to a range of demographics. This will add to the overall ratepayer base in the LGA.
Add a community asset outside the main CBD precinct.
The development will enable shared community space and amenity is available in a new zone that is separate yet accessible to the CBD.
Create a desirable location, open to the community.
Integration of key public spaces and focus on community amenity, respect for the heritage of the site and surrounds and an ongoing commitment to design excellence will ensure the development becomes a place the community can
not only be involved in, but also have pride in.
Provide suitable housing for missing demographics.
The focus on design and amenity within the development will attract a range of demographics, including groups that are not currently catered for in the available product in the LGA. The opportunity for young creative professionals to stay in the region and find job security in the emerging technology and associated industry sectors developing on their doorstep is seen to be a major benefit of thisdevelopment.
Develop a new standard for the region.
As Bathurst’s first medium density residential development, it will create a new standard for what can be expected in future developments of this type. It is envisaged that the unique site, considered design practices and a commitment to design excellence will produce a result that sits well within the landscape and adds value to neighbouring properties rather than detract from them.
