THE BACKGROUND
Covering a vast expanse of land, Stage I and 2 Woolooware Bay sits on the old training western fields adjoining Shark Park, while Stages 3 and 4 are situated on the old Shark Leagues Club carpark on its eastern side. With northern water views over the Georges River and beyond to the city, the site benefits greatly from its beautiful location.
THE TASK
When the site launched in 2013, it was one of the largest mixed-use projects at the time, however, very few people came into the area to live in apartments. They traditionally considered apartment living as a compromise, and Woolooware Bay was at the more affordable, less desirable end of residential price-points.
As such, the buyer pool was shallow and very selective. We needed to turn the tide of opinion and take apartment living to enticing new heights.
THE CHALLENGE
In order to pre-empt any unforeseen circumstances, we needed to plan in detail upfront the most likely scenarios, with a plan in place to successfully navigate them through.
Instilling local support was also crucial. ‘The Shire’ locals love their Sharks, so revitalising the Leagues club was key, as was maintaining harmony by supporting the joint venture.

The CLIENT
The Holloway Family Trust spans four residential properties located in Kiama on the NSW South Coast. When the assets were passed on to the next generation, all properties needing renovation, redevelopment or additions. To do this work is expensive and time-consuming, requiring the right expertise to navigate the way forward.
THE BACKGROUND
The properties are well-located in various locations throughout the Kiama LGA. And while the land values represent a significant percentage of all the properties, the improvements don’t allow the respective income streams to reflect their outstanding locations.
THE TASK
Woodhill was engaged to undertake a complete review of the properties, draft up the learnings, put in the evidence, and make recommendations. We included individual plans outlining how to achieve each recommendation in order to achieve success.
THE FEES
- A commission structure with an increase over a certain price
- Market budget.
THE APPROACH
Prior to commencing work, a reverse brief was provided to the HFT and approved.
- Income-positive (reduce expenses, increase revenue)
- Holloway families can use
- Minimal maintenance
THE RECOMMENDATION
A four-phase programme was determined and agreed upon
Phase One – dispose of one property
Phase Two – develop one property through a joint venture by selling part of the site to a builder. In doing so, the HFT acquires a brand-new residential apartment and cash at the end.
Phase Three - renovate the beach house and keep it for family and Airbnb
Phase Four – extend the rural property’s income potential by constructing six holiday-style luxury cabins
THE RESULT
Phase One – disposal of one property.
To sell the property, we undertook a two-part strategy; each with in-built events that encouraged the buyer to pay more and perform quickly through fear of missing out. This is at a time when the average property sat on the market for over 180 days.
The buyer wasn’t known to us, but found through strategic calls. The property exchanged in 11 days, and the result was $500,000 more than expected. This was also $800,000 more than a neighbouring property with substantial improvements, on the market for approximately 100 days with all the marketing budget spent.
We didn’t require any marketing money, returning it in full to the HFT. Phase Two has now begun.
