Springside Hill is a proposed masterplanned community that will offer a diverse range of low to medium density homes, with a genuine commitment to affordable housing, much needed community facilities and green, open space all within easy proximity to Kiama.
Springside Hill is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to meet the demand for affordable, liveable homes, while growing thoughtfully, preserving the local character of Kiama and opening up new public and community spaces.
It will keep locals local by reserving 25 per cent of homes for essential workers, first home buyers and local residents. It will create jobs, improve infrastructure, and unlock Spring Creek to the public with walking and cycling tracks for local residents.
With easy access to Kiama, Springside Hill will deliver new places for this generation to live and for the next generation to pursue education, recreation and commerce. it will achieve all of this while protecting and celebrating the local natural environment. Welcome to Springside Hill.
In September 2024, the independent Southern Regional Planning Panel recommended in favour of the rezoning of Springside Hill, marking a major step forward for this project and the delivery of housing in the region.
This is a great win for the many hundreds of locals who contribute to the life, character and economy of a town they love, but cannot afford to live here. It gives hope to the hundreds of locals who have registered their interest to become future residents at Springside Hill. This decision means that Springside Hill will progress to the next stage of assessment and we look forward to working through the decision and providing the additional information requested by the Planning Panel.
It’s never been harder for our community to achieve the Great Australian Dream of owning their own home. As the population grows, too many born-and-raised locals are being priced out of the market. Kiama locals agree this is a problem, and that building more affordable, liveable homes is the solution.
Springside Hill is a masterplanned community that will provide approximately 1200 homes, with a diversity of housing types to accommodate a range of budgets. It is a long term vision that can be delivered over stages, with first shovels in the ground as early as 2027.
In a first for the South Coast, Springside Hill will have a 25% guarantee – ensuring that homes will be set aside for essential workers, first home buyers, and local residents.
At least 5% of homes will be set aside for key workers including emergency services, healthcare and education.
At least 5% of homes will be set aside for first home buyers.
At least 5% of homes will be reserved for local buyers.
In partnership with Housing Trust, at least 5% of homes will be delivered for Housing Trust in perpetuity.
In partnership with NSW Government, at least 5% of the land value will be delivered for Community Housing.
When we first started speaking to the Kiama community in 2022, they told us that it is important to have a diversity of housing types and affordable housing options in the region. As the population grows, too many born-and-raised locals are being priced out of the market. Locals agree this is a problem and that building more affordable, liveable homes is the solution.
