Many thanks to all who provided initial feedback on the design concept for the adaptive re-use of the Berrima Gaol site throughout the past 18 months.
We have now submitted the State Significant Development (SSD) proposal to the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI). The DPHI is assessing the proposal and will seek comments and advice on the proposal from relevant government stakeholders.
Public Exhibition and Comment
The SSD proposal is now on public exhibition and is available on the NSW Government’s Major Projects portal for public comment – click on the link below to access all reports submitted for the project (architecture and landscape design reports are also available here via the link below). The public exhibition period commenced on 16 October 2025 and closes on the 12th November 2025. The proposal consists of some 30 reports along with architectural, engineering & landscape designs that support the Environmental Impact Statement. We encourage anyone who is supportive of the proposal to go to the NSW government’s major projects page & make a submission in support of the project by clicking the “Make a submission” button on the right hand side of the screen”. Your support will help to ensure this important project can proceed.
