Thirdi Files Hunter Valley Manufactured Home Plans

Thirdi is pushing ahead with its Hunter Valley seniors land lease project that would boost the population of the rural locality by thousands. The Sydney developer has filed a concept development application with the Maitland City Council for a manufactured homes estate that is being considered via the State Significant Development pathway. The 125ha site at 559 Anambah Road, Gosforth, is 12km north-west of the Maitland town centre. According to the 2021 census, Gosforth and neighbouring Anambah had fewer than 100 residents apiece. The proposal includes 332 sites, as well as community open spaces and associated community facilities, and an internal road network. According to the concept masterplan, Thirdi will deliver the $42-million site in two stages. The first would deliver site preparation works, including road connections to Anambah and River roads, and the construction of a 291-home estate. The proposals submitted by Barr Planning said the remainder of the homes would be delivered in Stage 2. Communal facilities include a pool, clubhouses, lawn bowling green, tennis and pickleball courts, men’s shed and dog exercise area, as well as caravan parking. There would be four site sizes, of 220sq m to 574sq m, and manufactured homes would be in two or three-bedroom configurations. ▲ The proposed land lease development is next to Thirdi ’ s Gosforth masterplanned community project. Best known for its apartment developments in Sydney, such as the Crows Nest over-station tower, Thirdi last year announced it would be branching out into greenfield community developments with the first in northern NSW. The new proposal adjoins Thirdi’s 900-home subdivision development, plans for which were lodged last year. It is under assessment by Maitland City Council. According to the Hunter Regional Plan, the population of the region is expected to increase to 949,850 people by 2041, and 108,800 more homes will be required. The proposal delivers an “alternative to traditional seniors living” within the Maitland area, for seniors or anyone seeking to downsize, according to the application. The number of land lease projects has been on the rise in recent years as developers and governments refocus on housing affordability. Under the process, land is leased to home owners, reducing home ownership costs such as stamp duty, council rates and body corporate fees. According to Thirdi’s application “increasing supply of alternative or smaller lot housing (such as manufactured homes) will indirectly increase supply of traditional large lot, freestanding housing that is typically sought after by young families”.
