The 24ha site in Warrnambool, a city on the Great Ocean Road, 265km southwest of Melbourne's CBD, had approval in December 2022 to become Warrnambool Shores Country Club, the 11th such development from Stewart Gull’s Country Club Living.
The site has now been bought by the Geelong-based Corless Management Group and Director Jason Corless said he was in the "early stages" of reviewing the plans.
"We are land developers. We're just in pre-planning. We are looking for the options now for conventional residential and possibly continuing with the potential retirement village," he told The Standard.
Stewart Gull's business had approval for 192 fully detached homes in the retirement village as well as 52 housing lots. Original plans for the retirement village had included a small golf course but it had to be ditched.
"We will test the appetite for a retirement village at this point," Jason said, adding he hoped to have plans for the site finalised in the next six months.
