Rare 13-Acre Flood-Free Industrial Landholding Hits South Grafton Market with Dual Access and Development Potential
South Grafton industrial land opportunity
A substantial industrial landholding encompassing approximately 5.58 hectares has entered the South Grafton market, presenting a strategic acquisition opportunity for developers, owner-occupiers, or investors seeking scale and long-term growth potential in the Clarence Valley region.
The property at 331 Armidale Road, South Grafton comprises four individual titles spanning 55,800 square metres (approximately 13 acres) of predominantly flood-free land, a critical attribute in the flood-prone Clarence River catchment area. The site benefits from exceptional connectivity through dual access points via Armidale Road and Brickworks Lane, offering operational flexibility for industrial, logistics, or manufacturing ventures.
Robert Cook, the selling agent, has issued clear instructions that the property must be sold. Interested parties can contact him directly on 0407788987 to arrange inspections or obtain further information.
The landholding sits within South Grafton's emerging industrial precinct, zoned Industrial under the Clarence Valley Local Environmental Plan.
Existing improvements include a caretaker's cottage (currently in rundown condition), ancillary shedding, and established power connections accessible from both arterial access points, providing immediate infrastructure advantages for prospective development.
"Industrial land across regional NSW has demonstrated strong value growth, with the latest NSW Government data showing industrial land values increasing 8.0% year-on-year," according to recent figures from the NSW Valuer General. This trend reflects heightened demand for strategically positioned employment land as businesses expand operations beyond metropolitan centres.
The site's flood-free status carries particular significance. The Clarence Valley Council's development controls explicitly restrict filling operations in South Grafton's floodplain below specific levels, making naturally elevated land increasingly scarce and valuable for industrial applications that cannot accommodate flood-related operational disruptions.
Strategic Location and Regional Context
South Grafton's industrial precinct benefits from proximity to the Pacific Highway upgrade and serves as a key east-west freight corridor for the region, particularly for B-Double movements connecting the Northern Tablelands to coastal ports. The Clarence Valley region, with over 470 hectares of zoned industrial land, is actively positioning itself as a competitive alternative to congested metropolitan markets.
The property's location supports servicing the broader Northern NSW region, with strong connectivity to major transport routes and surrounding industrial operators. Recent NSW Government policy initiatives, including the Industrial Lands Action Plan released in January 2025, underscore the strategic importance of developing well-serviced industrial land to support housing construction and economic growth statewide.
For owner-occupiers, the site offers a blank canvas for bespoke facility development subject to council approval. For developers and investors, the four-title configuration provides subdivision flexibility, while the sheer scale accommodates large-format commercial operations, warehousing, or integrated logistics complexes.
Market Dynamics and Investment Outlook
The Clarence Valley's population growth, coupled with infrastructure investment like the Clarence Correctional Centre, continues driving demand for local employment land. Council economic strategies prioritise investigation areas including South Grafton for future industrial development, suggesting forward-looking land-banking opportunities.
The South Grafton industrial precinct currently sees limited available stock, particularly for flood-free holdings of this magnitude. With industrial land values across regional NSW climbing steadily, 331 Armidale Road represents a rare chance to secure a significant foothold in a market positioned for sustained growth.
CVSN Property is marketing the landholding with transparent vendor commitment to a sale outcome, creating immediate opportunity for qualified buyers ready to act in the current market cycle.
