. A concealed gem that the residents call Woopi is being pitched as”The new Byron “without the price on the doorstep of Australia’s best beach. Online marketers for the brand-new$ 110m masterplanned community Swell at Woolgoolga, a popular vacation area simply north of Coffs Harbour, are anticipating seachangers from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to pounce. Already, 70 percent of the very first phase of Swell have actually sold– mainly to residents in the understand– drew in to blocks of land priced from $490k and house and land plans under $1m.
Swell is located just 1.5 km from Woolgoolga Beach, called the best mainland beach in Australia in 2025 by Ben Farmer, who ranks Australian beaches for Tourism Australia.
Woopi apparently got its label since many years ago checking out rugby teams had to explain their place to others further down the coast, telling them: “Where the hell are we? We’re in the middle of Woop Woop.”
“It’s just so really ‘Aussie’– ticking all packages for a perfect beachside destination,” Mr Farmer stated.

The delights of the regional town are also being commemorated.”I have investigated beaches across Australia for over 40 years and Woolgoolga is an outright standout.”Mr Farmer explained Woolgoolga, which has an irreversible population
of about 6000, as an ideal place to experience all that nature has to offer– plus the delights of the local town.”Fish the coast or any of its stunning surrounding estuaries, browse any of the constant pumping breaks, area friendly kangaroos bouncing across the headlands, enjoy a round of golf, eat in restaurants in style or just establish camp for couple of hours or a few days,” he stated.
“It actually is a problem-free favourite.”
It’s these qualities that have made “Woopi” a drawcard for a wave of brand-new homebuyers, according to consultancy company Urban Economics.
It points to NSW Department of Preparation figures showing the population of Woolgoolga was tipped to grow 9 percent over the next years compared to 6 per cent for Coffs.
The trend has been supported by strong need in Clarence Residential or commercial property’s Swell development– one of the most considerable land releases in the area over the previous years.
Population development at Woolgoolga is set to outstrip close-by Coffs Harbour over the next decade. There were just 30 lots in the very first release of Swell last October, though a more 180 blocks are set to be released and there have currently had to do with 2000 purchaser registrations of interest.
“Our choice to invest in Woolgoolga is based upon the principles of lifestyle appeal and economic development across the area,” states Simon Kennedy, CEO of Clarence Home.
“Population growth and a lack of brand-new developments have resulted in a serious land undersupply, with Woolgoolga amongst the tightest property markets in Coffs Harbour.”
Joshua Binkley, Partner Director, Urban Economics, expects supply to outstrip demand over the next 15 years.
“In general, existing and future stock of domestic lots is very constrained, especially within Woolgoolga,” he stated.
Mr Binkley said that home rates in the Coffs Harbour area had actually risen about 55 percent in the previous five years as individuals ran away the capital cities looking for budget-friendly homes by the sea.
Woolgoolga deals a selection of features such as the revamped browse club, cafes, surf shops, stores and classic stores.
And the healthcare facility, airport and university at Coffs are just 25 minutes away.
Homesites in the very first release of Swell, where lots vary from 499sqm to 812sqm, are priced from $490,000.
This compares with current neighboring coastal northern NSW median uninhabited land prices of $597,000 at Ballina Shire, $650,000 at Byron Shire and $740,000 at Tweed Shire.
House and land packages are likewise available at Swell with prices varying from simply under $1m to about $1.3 m with choices for 3, four and five-bedroom homes in single and double storey configurations.
Although not associated or familiar with the Swell project, Sotheby’s representative David Medina is anticipating an “uplift” in Woolgoolga and gets the Byron Bay comparison.
“It’s relatively undeveloped and by the sea,” he said.
“I know of individuals who have bought for remarkable worth, just 500m from the beach.”
Two Melburnians that “Woopi” has currently won over are Sarah Poole and her husband Ryan who moved there to open Woopi Brewery Company in 2019.
“It ticked all packages for us, being lovely and seaside because area with an amazing all round temperature level,” she states.
