Introducing one of West Wallsends best kept secrets. This Biobanking block ticks all the boxes for rolling hills, picturesque views, and a delightful escape from the day to day hustle. Relax, and explore the rugged country charm this amazing block has to offer.

Location:
The block is located off O'donnell Town Road, Wedt Wallsend. At the entrance you are greeted by a bush track, trees and a stunning rock bedded seasonal creek that meanders along through the undergrowth. Situated only 52 minute drive to Newcastle CBD in the central location of West Wallsend or only 10 minute drive to Harrigans at Cameron Park, and 2 hrs to Sydney CBD.

Building:
The non-biobank area consists of half a Hectare in size which is a substantial area to create your weekender or ideal home subject to council approval (STCA). Ideally you would be looking at building an off-grid system for electricity, putting in your own enviro cycle septic system and of course your very own pure rain water from the sky.

Outside this non-bio bank area the agreement maintains that no domestic animals or recreational motorbikes are allowed on a permanent basis. There are an amazing variety of 4WD tracks around the property for access.

Biobanking:
This bushland has been saved and preserved through the Biobank land management system. This is a state government run initiative. A requirement to owning the block is the preservation of natural habitat. You will receive an income from the government that varies from year to year. This income will require you to manage the land through hiring contractors. We are currently in Year 3 of the active management plan. Each year the land is inspected by a government inspector and provided you meet the management requirements, money will then be released for the next year. No personal money is required to be spent.

Examples of land management practices are;
• Spraying Lantana, tobacco weed and other invasive species.
• Fencing
• Repair access trails
Please see this link to the government website to give you a better understanding of what is required.
