Moonee Parklands Estate is a landmark residential development positioned just minutes from the renowned Coffs Coast. Designed to meet increasing demand in one of the fastest-growing regional centres in New South Wales, this 103-lot subdivision brings new housing opportunities to a location known for its natural beauty, lifestyle appeal, and connectivity.
The subdivision represents a major turning point in how State Significant Developments (SSD) are certified, and Barker Ryan Stewart (BRS) is proud to be leading the evolution of the increased utilisation of private certification.
BRS: Setting the Benchmark for Certification in NSW
BRS has been appointed as the Principal Certifier for Moonee Parklands Estate – the first time a Registered Certifier has held this role on a SSD within the Coffs Harbour City Council local government area.
This milestone underscores BRS’s position as an industry leader and reinforces the value private certifiers bring to large-scale urban development.
Joel Smith, Lead Project Manager at BRS said the organisation was selected through a competitive tender process, and was engaged due to the team’s extensive experience, streamlined systems, and demonstrated capability in managing SSD approvals across NSW.
“This appointment reflects not just a shift in how projects are delivered in the Coffs region, it’s a recognition for the capability, rigour, and reliability that our certification team brings to the table,” said Smith.
Backed by one of the largest and most experienced subdivision certification teams in NSW, BRS is responsible for issuing Subdivision Works Certificates (SWC), Works Compliance Certificates (WCC), and Subdivision Certificates (SC) for the Moonee Parklands Estate Project. BRS’s robust quality assurance systems, multidisciplinary expertise, and collaborative approach ensure efficient and compliant delivery at every stage of the project.
Responsible Development with Practical Environmental Considerations
Moonee Parklands Estate will ensure a portion of the site is zoned as revegetation and protected for environmental purposes. This forms part of the planning approval conditions and represents a practical, balanced approach to environmental stewardship in line with regulatory requirements.
“At BRS, we believe genuine sustainability starts with regulatory integrity and transparent delivery. Our role is to ensure development outcomes align with approved conditions, while facilitating efficient progress on site and protecting the community’s long-term interests,” said Smith.
Designed for Coastal Growth and Community Lifestyle
Moonee Parklands Estate is well-positioned to become a thriving new neighbourhood. Future residents will enjoy close proximity to Moonee Beach, shopping precincts, cafés, fitness centres, and family-friendly venues such as the Moonee Beach Tavern. The development is also conveniently connected to schools, healthcare, and public transport options.
Its strategic coastal location and thoughtful layout caters to a wide range of buyers –supporting the region’s growth while maintaining the lifestyle appeal that makes Coffs Harbour one of Australia’s most desirable regional destinations.
Leading the Way in Regional Development
Construction began in late 2024 and is expected to be completed in 2026. Moonee Parklands Estate is already serving as a reference point for how SSDs on the mid-north coast of NSW can be delivered with the support of expert private certifiers.
“BRS is proud to help shape the future of the Coffs Harbour region–one certified milestone at a time,” said Smith.
