RAYMOND Terrace is experiencing exciting growth and development, and this is good news for our community.
Over the past year, Council has approved plans for 77 new homes in Raymond Terrace, with another 27 housing units currently under assessment.
This shows that people are starting to believe in Raymond Terrace’s bright future and want to be part of it.
This progress isn’t happening by chance.
It’s the result of targeted efforts to attract new businesses and encourage development.
We’ve been focusing on unlocking the potential of Raymond Terrace, and we’re starting to see the results.
One of the biggest projects on the horizon is the redevelopment of the Raymond Terrace Bowling Club.
This project includes a six-storey hotel, along with 50 apartments, a pool, and spaces for events.
These new facilities will bring life and new opportunities to the heart of our town.
Raymond Terrace has also been included in the latest housing reforms by the NSW Government.
These reforms allow for increased building heights around the town centre, making it easier for developers to create more homes and businesses in the area that meet our community’s needs.
Earlier this year, Council ran a three-month investment campaign to attract visitors and investors from Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast, and across the Hunter region.
The response was fantastic, with more than 9,000 visits to our development webpage, helping to put Raymond Terrace on the map as a great place to grow, invest, and call home.
All these efforts are helping turn great ideas into real projects that will benefit residents now and well into the future.
We’re absolutely committed to making the planning process easier, supporting good development, and building a connected, thriving future for Raymond Terrace.
With so much happening, Raymond Terrace is attracting the right kind of attention and is well on its way to becoming a lively, welcoming town full of opportunities for everyone.
