UNLOCKING BOMBO QUARRY DRAFT MASTER PLAN
TAHE and Boral have been working with a team of experts to identify the site’s opportunities and constraints.
The draft Master Plan has been designed in response to these investigations and what’s possible on this site post quarry uses.
The draft Master Plan design considerations include:
-
Creating a place that captures the imagination of all stakeholders and the local community, creating shared ownership and outcomes.
-
Integrating the Precinct into the wider Kiama region to achieve a broader sense of belonging and community.
-
Designing a village that celebrates its character and draws on the Precinct’s unique surroundings.
-
Working closely with the NSW Government, Council and the community to enhance opportunities while respecting known constraints.
-
Celebrating Country and culture in consultation with Aboriginal stakeholders.
-
Creating a welcoming destination that celebrates connection and inclusivity.
FEATURES OF OUR DRAFT MASTER PLAN
Creating a destination that serves existing and future community needs is our priority.
Before we finalise our draft Master Plan, we will be engaging with the local community to understand what else is important to you so we can develop a unique place and future for the Bombo Quarry Precinct.
A range of housing to support targets within the Kiama region
In line with state and local government targets, we propose to deliver approximately 2,000 residences, offering housing types such as apartments, townhouses, and medium and low density homes.
A percentage of these homes will be designated for affordable housing options.
Parks and community spaces will form an important component of the Precinct
The open space will be informed by the Connecting to Country strategy and include public parks, children's play equipment, community outdoor meeting areas and public walkways.
New roads and pedestrian links for seamless connectivity and access to Bombo Beach
A priority of our draft Master Plan is to make it easier for residents to live a healthy lifestyle by planning pedestrian-friendly pathways that provide links within Bombo and to neighbouring areas.
This could include a new pedestrian and bike path to Bombo Beach and Bombo Station.
More local jobs, during and post-construction
We could deliver up to 400 construction jobs and 800 ongoing jobs.
Ongoing employment opportunities being considered are retail and services, allied health, food and beverage, commercial, childcare and light industrial services.
Deep connection with Country and Indigenous culture and heritage
We are listening to Aboriginal stakeholders and Traditional Custodians to inform how we respect the site's history.
Our draft Master Plan is designed to honour and respect Aboriginal culture and heritage through meaningful connections to the local landscapes.
Ecology
We will identify and integrate opportunities to enhance and promote local ecology.
