Alternative option available (subject to Council approval): boundary swap / title reconfiguration
As an alternative to selling 413 Jordan Road, the vendor is prepared to consider another option, subject to Council approval.
This option would involve a boundary swap that effectively exchanges the land areas of 413 Jordan Road (currently approx. 43 hectares) and 127 Ngapuke Road (currently approx. 112 hectares). Surveyors have expressed the view that Council should not have significant issue with the proposal, with an estimated timeframe (if Council accepts the proposal) of up to eight months for revised titles to be issued.
The “New” 127 Ngapuke Road (approx. 43 hectares)
Following the swap, the “new” 127 Ngapuke Road would remain split by Ngapuke Road and comprise two distinct areas:
“The Hills” (approx. 23 hectares)
Located to the south-eastern side of the road, this area includes mixed contour from gentle rolling through to steeper country. It also contains a small area of SEA bush measuring approximately 1.94 hectares. This is below the Council-mandated 2.0 hectares commonly required to generate a Transferrable Title Right (TTR). There is also a low-lying area that may have potential for wetland establishment, which could create further opportunities (subject to investigation and Council requirements).
“The Flats” (approx. 20 hectares - final layout to be confirmed)
The final configuration of the land to the north-west side of the road is still to be determined. However, it is anticipated this portion would comprise around 20 hectares, with a significant area capable of being flat pasture. Surveyors have suggested there may also be opportunities here for wetland establishment, potentially creating future options (subject to investigation and Council requirements). Any potential in-situ subdivision is anticipated to be more likely on the “Hills” portion (subject to Council and professional advice).
Indicative scheme plan
The final layout of the northern section is to be determined. An indicative scheme plan has been prepared (including the “Hills” area). The vendor would wish to retain drainage and floodgate access as part of the “new” 413 Jordan Road to ensure ongoing maintenance and performance.

Potential (important due diligence note)
Potential purchasers must seek their own professional advice in relation to any subdivision, TTR eligibility, SEA protection, wetland establishment, consenting requirements, costs and timeframes. We can suggest surveyors who have already undertaken a preliminary review of the property.
