Old Sydney Town/Australian Reptile Park Land Sale


Recommended Posts

Its a shame about Old Sydney Town. This land would be ripe for a theme park of some description, given all the positives that is position has been described. Close access to the M1 and nestled in between the major population centres of Newcastle and Sydney with a proven and successful wildlife park next door. One can only dream.

I've seen these plans floating around for a while and every time they appear they always seem to be a few months away. Honestly it looks like they're just ticking boxes to try and generate interest with third-parties to get some funding considering that they want the project to include:

  • Artificial Surf Wave Attraction.
  • Local agricultural-based food and beverage outlets.
  • Artist workshops and studios.
  • Short-stay accommodation.
  • An Aboriginal Cultural Centre recognising the Indigenous caretakers of the Central Coast.
  • Extended car parking facilities for the Australian Reptile Park.
  • Performing arts area.
  • Entertainment and attractions.
  • Retail and exhibition facilities.
  • Further food and beverage outlets.
  • Water-based activities.
  • A Hotel.
  • Residential development. 

That's a hell of a lot to put on this plot of land.

I think the fact that they mention plans to do a residential development is a bit suspicious. I worry that they'll put all of this forward and request to rezone the land for some small residential opportunities and then sell the land once it's rezoned to a property developer.
