1 First St, West Wallsend NSW 2286

The block is located off O'Donnelltown Road, West Wallsend. At the entrance you are greeted by a bush track, trees and a stunning rock bedded seasonal creek that meanders along through the undergrowth. Situated 10 minute drive to Harrigans at Cameron Park, only 50 minute drive to Newcastle CBD and 2 hrs to Sydney CBD.

Building:

The non-biobank area consists of approximately half a Hectare in size which is a substantial area to create your weekender or ideal home subject to council approval (STCA). Ideally you would be looking at building an off-grid system for electricity, putting in your own enviro cycle septic system and of course your very own pure rainwater from the sky.

Outside this non-bio bank area the agreement maintains that no domestic animals or recreational motorbikes are allowed on a permanent basis.

Biobanking:

This bushland has been saved and preserved through the Biobank land management system. This is a state government run initiative. A requirement to owning the block is the preservation of natural habitat. You will receive an income from the government that varies from year to year. This income will require you to manage the land through hiring contractors. We are currently in Year 2 of the active management plan. Each year a progress report is submitted, and the land is inspected by a Biodiversity Trust representative and provided you are meeting the management requirements, money will then be released for the next year.

Examples of land management practices are;

• Spraying Lantana, tobacco weed and other invasive species.

• Fencing

• Feral pest management

• Repair access trails

Please see this link to the government website to give you a better understanding of what is required.
