Killalea State Park

Project

Project Status

On April 30, 2007 the Killalea State Park Trust signed a development agreement with Killalea Coastal Investments Pty Ltd (KCI) which permits KCI to design a concept plan and lodge a planning application for the proposed development. If the application is successful KCI is entitled to sign a 52 year development lease over three zones of the park. These zones cover an area of 17.6 hectares.

A project team incorporating various consultants is being formed at present. It is expected that a planning application will be lodged within the next 12 months.

The Project

The concept plan document details the proposed development. The project consists of an accommodation resort of 202 eco lodges, restaurant, café, conference centre and recreation facilities. The lodges will be contained in three separate zones of the park, known as the Crest, the Valley and the Farm. These zones cover an area of 17.6 hectares, less than 7% of the park's total area.

The majority of the lodges are single storey in height and are designed to touch the earth lightly. It is proposed that the lodges will be largely constructed off site to minimise any disturbance to the park and its visitors.

Each lodge will be strata titled and have occupancy rights contained in a lease of 50 years signed between the individual lessees and the Killalea State Park Trust.

The lodges are not for permanent occupation. Occupancy restrictions apply limiting the stay of guests.

The Killalea State Park will benefit from significant upgrade works that will occur alongside the proposed project. These works include;

The project is being developed by Killalea Coastal Investments (a joint venture between Mariner Land Limited and Babcock & Brown).
