Shire buyers snap up blocks in Sydney's newest beachside suburb

Australand’s Greenhills Beach project at Cronulla in Sydney’s southern Cronulla has achieved quick success, with 31 of its initial 33 lot offering being sold following marketing over the past two months.

There are 236 lots in the Australand precinct, with blocks ranging in size from 550 square metres to 800 square metres.

The price guide for the first release of lots was between $770,000 and the low-$900,000s, for those closer to the beach.

Greenhills Beach is Sydney’s newest suburb, having its name recently approved by the NSW Geographical Names Board last month.

There are two separate residential developments at Greenhills Beach – one by Australand and the other by Breen Property.

More than 100 prospective buyers have paid a reservation fee to secure an appointment when sales officially opened last weekend.

Some 1,200 registered a buying interest in the Australand lost since June.

Greenhills Beach is positioned between Wanda Beach and Botany Bay, with entry from the main access road of Captain Cook Drive.

There will be direct beach access for the residents.

The Australand NSW residential general manager Nigel Edgar says the masterplanned community had no comparable developments that offered beach access in the Sydney metropolitan area.

“Greenhills Beach combines a beautiful beachside environment with natural fauna and flora that forms part of the coastal landscape,” Edgar says.

The precinct will include more than 90 hectares of public open space, including 10 playing fields – baseball, soccer, hockey, cricket and skate park – along with nature reserves with frog habitat ponds that will be dedicated to the Sutherland Shire Council.
