The Point Boston Peninsula is a community development that stretches over 750 hectares of natural peninsula about approximately 18 kms from Port Lincoln, South Australia. It is ideally located for weekend getaways or as a place to live and enjoy life.
- A Scheme description and By-Laws protect the integrity of this development area and help maintain and preserve the natural heritage across the peninsula. The Community Corporation currently consists of 207 Lot holders with the potential to build 247 dwellings in the East Bay precinct. Lot holders collectively own around 650ha of land mainly designated as native bushland.
- The Corporation has its own scalable environmentally friendly wastewater treatment system which involves large underground sand filters and uses plant transpiration to dispose of treated waste water and nutrients.
- A Community Corporation Committee formed by lot holders is responsible for the management of common property - including land and infrastructure. The Committee is also responsible for ensuring the By-Laws and the Scheme Description are upheld.
For further information or to contact the committee please contact our Body Corporation Manager - Steve Geyer at Whittles on 08 8291 2325 or Steve.Geyer@whittles.com.au
