Unrivalled Waterfront Tourism Development Opportunity in Augusta

13571 Bussell Highway, Augusta offers an extraordinary 15.83ha (39ac) waterfront land holding with direct frontage onto West Bay and the Hardy Inlet. Positioned perfectly within the world renowned South West tourism region, this landmark property presents a premier development canvas for developers, investors, and visionaries alike.

This expansive estate blends lifestyle appeal with lucrative development pathways under the Local Planning Scheme No. 2 (LPS2) provisions.

Flexible Tourism Development Pathways
The property features unique site-specific provisions tailored for premium tourism infrastructure. Crucially, incoming developers can pursue individual, separate development tracks depending on their commercial vision. The scheme does not allow for all options simultaneously; rather, it provides flexible, distinct routes.
Under Local Planning Scheme No. 2, the primary independent options include:
• Option A: A premium chalet resort accommodating up to 30 independent chalets.
• Option B: A tourist park featuring up to 50 designated caravan sites.
• Option C: A lower-impact eco-retreat supporting up to 50 eco-bays alongside 10 dedicated campsites.

Complementary development scopes under the scheme also support a boutique 12-room guesthouse or commercial facilities to service the chosen tourism model. Furthermore, the zoning offers scope for a mixed use grouped dwelling model, providing an array of avenues to maximize your returns.

Existing Infrastructure & Property Features
While you plan your world class development, the property functions perfectly as a private retreat or generates immediate holding income via existing improvements:
• Mains water connection available directly on the block, a massive and rare advantage for rural development site infrastructure.
• A comfortable three bedroom, one bathroom character cottage overlooking the natural landscape.
• A separate, self-contained spacious studio with an ensuite, perfect for a manager's quarters or guest accommodation.
• A substantial four bay machinery shed and workshop to handle heavy equipment and site storage.
• A double garage equipped with additional bathroom facilities.
• Additional water security via integrated rainwater tanks and permanent natural water features.

Location & Lifestyle Appeal
Situated just minutes from the heart of the Augusta township, this property balances true seclusion with ultimate convenience. Guests or residents can launch a dinghy directly from the property boundary to explore the pristine waters of the Blackwood River and Hardy Inlet. The region is a celebrated water lover's haven famous for whale watching, boating, eco-tourism, and world class wineries.
