After rezoning backlash, controversial Kiama site lists for sale
A 14-acre Kiama site rezoned for residential use despite community objections is now for sale.
The site at 2 Caliope Street in Kiama was controversially rezoned earlier this year for low-density housing. Residents raised concerns about traffic, building heights, flooding and loss of rural views during public display.
The property is now listed for expressions of interest. The selling agent reports strong developer interest within days.
About 10,000 square metres is zoned for residential use. This could allow 14 to 15 residential blocks.
The site was purchased in May 2024 for $2.805 million. The owner had not originally planned to rezone and resell but now considers it surplus to needs.
