The Consultation

How the
consultation works.

“Broulee Ridge is at the rezoning stage. The plan is with Eurobodalla Shire Council. Here’s how the formal process works, how to engage with Brightway directly, and where the answers to common questions live.”

THE PROCESS

Two parallel conversations.

Like any rezoning proposal in NSW, Broulee Ridge has to be reviewed and approved by the local council — in this case, Eurobodalla Shire Council. During that review, there’s a formal window for the community to make submissions to Council. Submissions are read, considered, and influence the final decision.

Alongside that, Brightway is running its own engagement: info sessions, on-site visits, phone calls, a feedback form. It’s separate from the Council process, but the two run in parallel.

If you have a concern, both paths matter. The Council submission goes into the formal record. The conversation with us shapes what we change before the final plan is settled.

INFO SESSIONS

Drop in. Have a look. Bring questions.

We’re holding info sessions in Broulee and Moruya through [dates TBC]. Each session is a couple of hours, hosted by the team behind the masterplan. The drawings will be up on the walls. You can come for ten minutes or stay the whole time.

If you’d rather not come in person, we’ll also be running a few online — same format, same questions welcomed.

FORMAL SUBMISSIONS

Submit to Eurobodalla Council.

Eurobodalla Shire Council runs the formal submissions process for the Broulee Ridge rezoning. Anyone can submit. Submissions are read by Council planners, factored into the assessment, and become part of the public record.

If you want your submission to land, a few things help:

  • Be specific. General opinions are noted; specific points about the plan are considered in detail.
  • Stick to the plan as lodged. The submissions process is about this proposal, not other developments.
  • Identify yourself. Anonymous submissions are accepted but carry less weight.

If you’d like help finding the right place to make your point, we’re happy to walk you through it — even if your point is critical of the plan.

DIRECT FEEDBACK

Tell us directly.

If you don’t want to wait for a session, or if your question is specific to your property or your situation, get in touch directly. We read every message and respond — sometimes within hours, sometimes within days.

What we can answer straight away: details of the masterplan, the design thinking, what’s lodged with Council. What takes longer: financial details, lot pricing (not yet set), and anything outside our remit as the developer.

QUESTIONS

What people have been asking.

Will Broulee Road become a major access route?

The masterplan keeps the main vehicle access via George Bass Drive — Broulee Road remains a secondary connection. Traffic studies have been lodged with Council and are part of the public record.

What about the crematorium next door?

The proposed development sits more than 200 metres from the crematorium chimney, with a buffer of native vegetation between. The crematorium predates this proposal; the masterplan was drawn to respect the buffer Council requires.

What does "affordable in perpetuity" actually mean?

About 35 homes (5% of the 699) will be sold at below-market price with the affordability condition written into the title. When a home is next sold, it must be sold to a qualifying buyer at a price set by the condition — and the same applies to every sale after that.

When does construction start?

Not until rezoning is approved by Council. Earliest realistic construction is [year TBC]. The current process is about whether the rezoning gets approved at all.

Stay informed

We'll let you know what's happening.

As the project moves through Council and the community process, we’ll share updates — milestones, decisions, changes to the plan, dates for the next round of engagement.

Updates that matter

As the project moves through Council and beyond, we’ll share:

  • Council milestones — lodgement, public exhibition, decisions
  • Info session dates and locations
  • Changes to the masterplan in response to consultation
  • When affordable home applications open
  • When build-to-rent applications open
  • When market-rate lots are available

Roughly six emails a year while we’re at the consultation stage. More if there’s something worth saying.

We’ll email occasional updates on the project. We won’t share your details. You can unsubscribe at any time.
