Hi, wallaby rd is affected by fire and flood overlays. I suggest speaking to the council and gippsland water for more info. You will need to install a sewerage system to connect to the main sewer. It will cost approx 10k. Tank water is the only source of water and is sufficient for your needs if you have the right sized tank. A new foodworks has been built and the old shops are being demolished for new shops and an apartment development above them. It looks nice. The town is progressing very nicely. Its a great place to holiday. Good luck with your purchase. Sometimes buying an existing house is cheaper than building a new one due to the council requirements. Find yourself a cheapie house and give it a lick of paint and put your feet up! Happy holidays!
An update on Loch Sport. Since the completion of the sewerage system in late 2015, the area has gone from strength to strength with a new skate park, recreation play area, 250k on foreshore upgrades and a new pavilion. Works have commenced on a new town centre with the old supermarket/buildings to be demolished and replaced with a foodworks, cafe, corner park and more shops. A pharmacy has also opened up. The marina has a new owner and has been upgraded to include a chef and gourmet food. The median house price has jumped 85k since 2016 and is still climbing. Builders are flat out with work. The median price could easily jump another 80k after the shops are built. Food trucks and markets now frequent loch sport helping to create a relaxed coastal lifestyle. Loch Sport is transforming into a lovely town, with more projects under consideration. I will update again the future.
Construction on the Loch Sport sewerage scheme has now commenced. Before long the town wll be fully sewered. http://www.gippswater.com.au/SearchResults.aspx?Search=loch+sport. With so much demand for services, much needed commercial development will start soon after.
The council is also going to build a community and health centre similar to the one in Rosedale which is architectually designed and very modern. See attached link and scroll down to rosedale community centre…http://www.gha.net.au/cghs/viewinfopage.asp?id=136
They also have plans to develop the town centre once the sewerage system is fully installed.
These new developments will really take loch sport to a new level.
Wow, you just scrapped in. Good stuff!
You're right, the shopping strip needs more development. I expect things will change over the next few years and after the sewerage system is installed.
The council is also planning to build a commmunity centre (like the one at Rosedale). It's in a good location and will be close to the shopping strip. It's a few years away tho.
I like Mornington, Altona, Box Hill and Heidelberg Heights. Also a fan of Mitcham as per the posts above.
Hi All,
Loch Sport has been granted $40 million by the state government for sewerage infrastructure. Work starts in 2012. Woo Hoo!
http://sale.yourguide.com.au/news/local/news/general/loch-sport-wins-sewerage-funds/1940109.aspxSeaspray (Loch Sports distant neighbour) recently had the same sewerage system installed and blocks of land are now selling for 100k plus! Loch Sport is much nicer so prices are sure to jump!
Octain, you bought at the right time and it's a great block. Nice view to. You got a good deal!
My block is right near the Marina, it's a super location but no water view. I've had it for 6 years now. Have been waiting for sewerage before building my holiday house (like loads of other people). I think there will be a mini building boom haha.
