McCloy Group, based in the heart of Newcastle, confirmed the purchase of the land between the Tuross Head Country Club and Lake Coila last month.
"As of March 4, 2022, McCloy Tuross Head Pty Ltd became the owners of 41 Anderson Avenue, Tuross Head," a McCloy Group spokesperson said.
"Our general plans are to develop the site in accordance with the Development Consent and investigate any other possible amendments that will enhance our development and the surrounding area, all in accordance with Council's approval.
"All required environmental and heritage assessments will be undertaken in accordance with our approved Development Consent.
"We have a strong presence through the Hunter, New England and Mid North Coast regions and we are excited to have a presence on the Far South Coast of NSW, and hope that this project is only the beginning."
A spokesperson from Eurobodalla Shire Council confirmed the council was "aware" the land in question had been sold, but said it didn't change much on their end.
"Any development consent relates to the land subject of the approval," a council spokesperson said.
"This means that even if the land changes ownership, the approval remains valid for the new purchaser.
"There is no requirement under the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 for Council to consider the landowner in its assessment of the application. The only requirement is that the landowner provides consent for the application to be lodged."
The McCloy Group spokesperson said the company was looking forward to working on the Tuross Head development.
"At McCloy Group, we pride ourselves on creating neighbourhoods in which people love to live," they said.
"Uncompromising quality is what makes our residential communities stand apart from the rest.
"We place a strong emphasis on creating exceptional living environments through vibrant public art, aesthetic streetscapes, children's playgrounds, active shared pathways, landscaped parklands and native open space.
"We are excited to create a new community at Tuross Head."
