Lot 12 & Lot 33 Barton Highway, Murrumbateman, NSW 2582

Executive summary

Positioned along the Major Barton Highway corridor between Murrumbateman and Yass, this 12.65-hectare site is more than vacant land; it's a fully approved, shovel-ready commercial project. With Development Approval secured for a highway service centre and over 13 comprehensive reports already completed, the hard work is done. The current owners, who navigated the planning process, are now seeking an operator with fuel retail expertise to bring this opportunity to life. Three-phase power sits within 200 metres of the site, a commercial-approved bore with easement access is secured 200 metres away, and two tanks(not currently installed) are included in the approved plans.

Set along the highway with attractive rural outlooks across the Yass Valley, the site offers both an immediate development opportunity and future subdivision potential on the south side once works commence, STCA. With Murrumbateman and Yass close by, and the ACT approximately 19 minutes down the road, you're investing in a corridor that continues to grow and strengthen as a regional hub. The infrastructure groundwork is complete, the approvals are in place, and the location delivers consistent highway traffic.

Conclusion

Sites like this, with DA approval, comprehensive reporting, power and water infrastructure resolved, and highway exposure, represent years of planning compressed into a single opportunity. The vendors have navigated council approvals, commissioned environmental studies, secured bore access with easement rights, and positioned three-phase power within immediate reach. The Yass corridor continues to strengthen, and highway service infrastructure remains in high demand. The approvals are secured. The reports are complete. The infrastructure is planned.

The property has access to a bore under a water rights agreement. The owners are selling after getting the Development Approval (DA) for the property. They are from a healthcare background and require the sale of this asset to finalise the estate distribution and fund the expansion of their healthcare business. This is a huge opportunity to build infrastructure in the rapidly growing area close to Canberra.
