INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
The former Cleary Bros has been providing construction materials and services to the Illawarra region for over 100 years having been first established in 1916 with this being the first time this site is offered for sale in over 30 years. The site sits proudly on the high side of Five Islands Road overlooking BlueScope Steelworks surrounded by main arterials providing excellent access in and out of the Port Kembla from all directions. Industrial Lands Review The Wollongong Industrial Lands Review commissioned by Wollongong City Council is a recent report that outlines the importance of industrial lands to the Wollongong Local Government Area (LGA) and the need to preserve them as well as promote greater efficiency. Wollongong’s Industrial Lands were last reviewed by Council in 2006 through a study that informed the preparation of the draft Wollongong LEP 2009. This latest Review formally supersedes that study and aims to inform future land use planning directions for industrial lands across Wollongong including within the forthcoming ‘Six Cities Region Plan’. It seeks to make a range of recommendations for consideration. The recommendation range from minor housekeeping amendments to more significant investigations which would require specialist studies if they were to progress. The Review recommends the adoption of seven industrial lands planning principles as well as changes in relation to zoning, land use tables, development standards and DCP controls.
Clean Energy Wollongong is emerging as a global clean energy hub. Across the Illawarra Shoalhaven region there are major projects in green hydrogen production, dual fuel power generation, offshore renewable energy, gas pipeline and terminal infrastructure either planned or already operating. These transformative projects and assets are the cornerstone investments in NSW and Australia’s decarbonised energy future. Port Kembla is poised to become a hydrogen superpower with an ambitious vision to create Australia’s first 5GW+ scale green hydrogen hub. Advanced Manufacturing Manufacturing is part of Wollongong’s DNA, with more than 110 years of innovation and excellence in this sector. Home to a diverse range of operations in advanced manufacturing, Wollongong offers unique and significant opportunities particularly in the machinery, equipment design and manufacturing verticals. Wollongong has a growing number of organisations involved with the defence- related procurement, including a range of manufacturing services and research activities. Combined with the capability of the Shoalhaven’s defence assets, this highlights the substantial opportunities to partner with businesses in our region.

INDUSTRIAL INVESTOR DEMAND
Investor demand for industrial assets across the Wollongong region remains strong on the back of solid foundations and positive outlook for the sector. With the high yield metrics on offer in comparison to Sydney has made Wollongong an attractive investment option specifically for owner occupiers and Self Managed Super Funds (SMSF). Due to the dynamic of the investor market and the select number of assets, the market remains tightly held and thinly traded. The region has seen strong demand and an uplift in Industrial rents across the market have been achieving up to $265 per sqm for industrial rents whilst owner occupiers have seen rates on industrial property achieve up to $5,500 per sqm on a vacant possession basis for new Industrial developments.
NEW INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROJECTS
Port Kembla Gas Terminal Australian Industrial Energy (AIE) is developing NSW’s first energy import terminal at Port Kembla near Wollongong. With NSW currently importing more than 95% of the natural gas it uses from other States, the Port Kembla Energy Terminal will deliver a new source of energy to the market to meet predicted supply shortfalls and could supply more than 75% of NSW’s gas needs. It is estimated the Project will create around 130 – 150 jobs during construction and between 40 – 50 ongoing roles at a cost of around $250 million. Port Kembla Power Station The NSW Government has granted critical state significant infrastructure (CSSI) status for the $1.3bn Port Kembla Power Station. The Power Station will deliver a new source of large-scale dis-patchable, safe, reliable and lower emission electricity to support the growth in renewable energy and would

MARKET IN CONTEXT
The Wollongong industrial market is experiencing a period of strong growth fuelled by the recent surge of e-commerce, a rising renewable sector and the continued success of major market leaders in the region such as BlueScope and NSW Ports. With Wollongong’s Port of Port Kembla uniquely positioned to service the rapidly growing south- west markets of Sydney the connectivity to the new Western Sydney International Airport will drive a further uplift in occupiers demand from transport and logistics related users, as well as increase tourism and population growth rates over the longer term.
Vacancy across the Illawarra continue to sit at relatively low levels resulting from the lack of new developments amidst strong demand from industrial occupiers seeking warehouse space. This, along with construction costs remaining at increased levels has pushed rentals higher. A traditionally tightly held market, this prime opportunity is not to be missed.
