- New proposal: Millbray lodges plans for NSW land lease community
- 201 homes: Resort planned for Shoalhaven’s newest suburb
- Resort lifestyle: Pool, pickleball, cinema and wellness hub
- Growing pipeline: Macquarie-backed developer expands East Coast footprint
As construction progresses on its first land lease community, the developer has lodged plans for another project on the NSW South Coast.
Millbray, which is backed by the $2.9 billion Macquarie Real Estate Partners fund, is seeking to build a land lease community in Badagarang, a new suburb, 5km northwest of Nowra.
On completion, the master planned community will feature:
- 201 residential lots with six dwelling types;
- a single-storey community facilities building, which includes lap pool, pickleball courts, resident’s kitchen and bar, gymnasium, yoga studio / multipurpose studio, Function hall, BBQ pavilion, cinema, library, and arts and crafts;
- Administration office (‘Millbray House’);
- 75 on-site visitor car parking spaces; and
- A collection of pavilions planned around north facing courtyards and terraces.

The development application will be determined by the Southern Regional Planning Panel under the Residential (Land Lease) Communities Act 2013 because the proposed project has an estimated development cost of more than $30 million.
The project team includes:
- Architect: Argus Design;
- Town Planner: Colliers Urban Design;
- Landscape Consultant: Taylor Brammer;
- Traffic Engineer: Amber;
- Business Consultant: Blackash;
- Acoustic Consultant: Renzo Tonin;
- Waste Consultant: Colliers;
- Ecologist: Lodge Environmental;
- Aborist: Moore Trees;
- Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Heritage Consultant: Austral Archaeology;
- Quantity Surveyor: Rider Levett Bucknall.
Millbray revealed it had secured more than 2,000 lots across eight projects in southeast Queensland and NSW when construction began on Ashcroft at Flagstone, south of Brisbane, in September last year.

Millbray also has approval to build a community in Highfields, Toowoomba, a suburb that is already home to a number of existing and planned land lease developments.
In addition, Millbray, through Saunders Havill, has been given the green light for a 301-home community in Innes Park, a coastal town 367km north of Brisbane.
