The site available for sale by tender is approximately 17 hectares in area and relatively level. A significant part of its perimeter has direct water frontage to constructed canals, which give access to the Clarence River .
The site is in part bounded by Yamba Road to the south, low density residential housing to the north east, with access presently gained via Witonga Drive to the north-east. The site sits on the western outskirts of the Yamba township.
The majority of the site is zoned 2(a) Residential (Low Density), with a small portion zoned 6(c) Open Space Buffer under the Maclean Local Environmental Plan 2001. The aim of the 2(a) Residential (Low Density) zone is to “… enable the provision of housing, characterised by low density residential development.” Consistent with this aim, the range of permissible uses within the 2(a) Residential (Low Density) zone include cluster housing, dual occupancies, dwelling houses and professional consulting rooms. The Clarence Valley Council Development Control Plan provides further controls for residential development on the site, specifying a height limit of 9m, front setbacks of 6m and side and rear setbacks of up to 1.5m. In addition, the minimum allotment size is 400m2, with 45% of site's to be landscaped, and dwelling houses also required to provide at least 50m2 of private open space and 1 car space. The site has development consent for residential subdivision, accommodating a further 105 allotments, 77 of which have direct water frontage , with these ranging between 630m2 and 1167m2 in area . The consent also provides for the creation of a foreshore park in the north western corner of the site, and a roundabout in the south eastern part providing access to Yamba Road.
