Bowral South NLA is one of the six New Living Areas (greenfield land release areas) identified in our adopted Wingecarribee Local Housing Strategy, which provides the long-term planning framework to meet the housing needs of our community.

The Bowral South NLA will provide a diverse mix of housing typologies for our growing and changing population, with a small village centre and an opportunity to bring the riverfront and riparian corridors into public ownership as open space and conservation areas.

Council is leading this master planning process with our community to achieve best-practice outcomes for built form, amenity and infrastructure.

To create a community that celebrates local cultural heritage and our unique landscape, where the village lifestyle is closely connected to the riverfront. It embodies a supportive community that prioritises quality, sustainability and inclusivity.

A place that offers diverse housing and is well connected to foster social interactions and recreational activity. A seamless network where people can walk or cycle to their desired destination.

A strong sense of identity echoes through the natural and urban areas, and people of all ages and abilities feel a strong sense of community and belonging.

The public exhibition period for the Bowral South New Living Area (NLA) has concluded. We appreciate the time and effort taken by the community and stakeholders to review the draft Master Plan, Servicing Strategy, and supporting documents,. Your valuable feedback will significantly contribute to the final plan.

We are currently in the process of reviewing all submissions and developing a report summarising community and stakeholder input. To remain informed about the project's progress, please 'follow' the project page.
