Thought this deserved its own thread. Would love to see this go ahead being two links style golf courses...and the location looks incredible.

Location: Approx. 15km south of Robe
Planning development and associated documentation over on the DPTI website:
Nora Creina Golf Course and Tourism Resort, comprising of a 36-hole world class public golf course, an abalone farm, a boutique Wagyu beef farm, a boutique vineyard and recreational facilities (such as nature trail, recreational fishing and diving). The site is located on the coast between Robe and Beachport in the south east region of South Australia.

The proposal
The proposal is for the development of an international standard, links style golf course and mixed tourism resort near Nora Creina (approximately 15 kilometres south of Robe) in the South East region, by South East Abalone Pty Ltd.
The proposal comprises:
•36 hole international standard golf course (links style), comprising a 'Red Course' (Stage 1) and a 'Blue Course' (Stage 2), and associated practice range and greens.
•Golf course maintenance facility.
•Clubhouse, including bar, lounge, pro shop and associated parking.
•Tourist accommodation complex, including restaurant and retail facilities. The accommodation is anticipated to comprise four-star hotel-style accommodation (two storey), with 20 rooms provided initially. A limited number of exclusive, high end tourist accommodation opportunities would also be provided within the site.
•Abalone farm, including caretaker's residence.
•Boutique Wagyu beef farm and boutique vineyard.
•Recreational facilities, such as nature trails and for recreational fishing and diving.
•Infrastructure, including an access road, waste water treatment plant, water supply (including storage dams) and three-phase power supply.
•Storm water and sewage infrastructure for the capture, treatment, storage and re‐use of recycled water throughout the development (where possible).

Description of proposal (from PER):
The conceptual design and site configuration for the proposal is shown below and contained in Appendix C.
The proposed development is centred around the establishment of a world-class golfing destination with the construction of two 18-hole golf courses, which is loosely modelled on the highly successful Barnbougle Dunes golf course near Bridport on the north-east coast of Tasmania. Bridport is a small coastal town not dissimilar to Robe and is situated near the Tamar Valley, which is a region also famous for its food and wine.
Just like the land at Nora Creina, Barnbougle Dunes had its first golf course laid out through coastal dunes with spectacular views over Bass Strait and quickly became the top-rated golf course in Tasmania. Barnbougle Dunes is currently ranked around 5th in the Top 100 courses in Australia and is now one of the Top 50 courses in the world.
A second 18-hole course, called 'Lost Farm' has now been constructed alongside Barnbougle Dunes and is also highly regarded. With players coming from all over the world to play the courses (including up to 200 charter flights a year directly to the site), the golf course complex, which also offers a restaurant, golf shop and accommodation, has transformed the local economy of Bridport and the surrounding region. A third course is now under construction.
The vision at Nora Creina is similar - not to build simply another 'good' golf course, of which South Australia has many, but to capitalise on the spectacular oceanfront dunes and build two great, world-renowned golf courses that will rank in the Top 10 courses in the country and firmly focus attention on golf in South Australia from both interstate and overseas.
The components of the proposal as envisaged as follows:
Golf Courses
The proposal at Nora Creina would see two 18-hole golf courses laid out over the dune area and a small part of the grazing area. The aspiration for the courses are for them to be in the Top 10 courses in Australia within a short time. The layout, shown indicatively on the attached concept plans prepared by Harrison Golf, would be a true links course and would seek to use the existing landforms and integrate and retain as much of the existing vegetation as possible. As a result some of the holes would have direct ocean frontage and views, which will be a crucial element in the appeal, status and eventual ranking of the courses.
A clubhouse and pro-shop to service the golfing requirements of visitors to the site would be situated between the two courses as part of the main building complex, which is described in more detail below.
A practice range would be situated near the clubhouse to allow for golfers to warm up and practice. Several practice greens are also proposed for putting and chipping practice.
It will also be necessary for a number of small service buildings to be constructed at various points across the golf course to provide shelter, toilets, food and beverage facilities for golfers using the golf course.
