Future Development Potential

The property is zoned 1a1 Rural, a zoning allowing further rural tourist accommodation and facility development. Discussion by the owners with Port Macquarie Hastings Council confirmed there are no impediments for further development of the rural tourist facility at the Retreat. Concept plans for the construction of two interconnecting villas have been prepared and are available for inspection on request. It is envisaged that this investment will further enhance the broad appeal of the accommodation. Specifically, the villas would be marketed towards the overnight stay, conference, sales representative, peak overflow periods, and the continual strong demand for short-term accommodation for families.
