Golden Valley Jamberoo: Historic Village Embraces Growth While Safeguarding Architectural Heritage

Jamberoo is set to gradually expand with the upcoming Golden Valley Jamberoo subdivision, a project creating 50 new lots while respecting the village's established character.


The Fountaindale Group’s Jennifer Macquarie, leading the development alongside her brother Lawson Fredericks, emphasises their role: "We're preparing the land and infrastructure, then selling individual lots. This gives buyers the freedom to design homes that suit their needs while complementing Jamberoo's style."


The project adheres to the Kiama Council's Development Control Plan, which includes specific controls for Jamberoo. While buyers can choose their own builders and designs, the developers strongly encourage respecting the village's traditional architecture, characterised by colonial-style weatherboard cottages with high-pitched roofs and wide verandahs.


Currently in the infrastructure design phase, Golden Valley Jamberoo expects to offer a small stage of lots off-the-plan in early 2025. The majority of homesites will be made available once subdivision construction is complete in late 2025. This timeline allows potential buyers to plan their ideal homes.


Macquarie added, "We would be more than happy to facilitate introductions to reputable local builders for those of our buyers who need assistance."


The project represents a significant addition to Jamberoo's housing options, potentially attracting new residents while aiming to preserve the village's architectural heritage.


Local businesses and service providers have expressed delight in the prospect of welcoming new families and therefore an economic boost to the village.
