Stay
Rural Camping & Nature-Based Tourism
A lower-impact visitor experience built around the property's rural setting, landscape and proximity to Bundaberg.
Potential outcome: tourism income while retaining the rural character.
Project in development · Preliminary concept
Sharon Rural Enterprise
One rural property.
Three complementary opportunities.
STAY · GROW · PARTICIPATE
Retaining its rural character.
Kamerbeek has explored how this rural property in Sharon, Queensland, could potentially be used more productively while retaining its rural character.
Rather than considering a single use in isolation, the preliminary concept investigates three complementary opportunities that could potentially operate from the same property.
Grow
Honest Meat — Individual Cattle Program
A direct relationship between the animal, the property and the eventual customer, creating greater transparency around how food is raised.
Potential outcome: agricultural income with a distinctive local food proposition.
Participate
Rural Participation / NDIS Partnership
Structured rural participation activities in partnership with an established, appropriately qualified support provider.
Potential outcome: social purpose combined with service income.

Social purpose + service income
The strength is not necessarily any individual use. It is the possibility of several complementary activities sharing the same land, infrastructure and identity.
From property to possibility
Start with the property, not a predetermined solution.
The process considers location, physical characteristics, existing use, the owners' objectives and potential opportunities. Alternative concepts can then be explored, compared and progressively tested before significant capital is committed.
