Following the sale by the NSW Coalition Government in May 2022, the Sydney property developer, Blue Sox Investments, applied for development via the State Significant Development process. Blue Sox released early details of its plans in early 2024.

The property developer has a project website with its design concept which includes:

Plans also include cutting three holes into the eastern street-facing wall (see image in photo gallery). [49]

Some concerned residents formed a group, Berrima Heritage Matters, which is against any development outside the walls and has a proposal for future use of the site. [50]

The Berrima Residents Association, a longtime advocate for the heritage values of Berrima village, submitted a community-based bid during the Expression of Interest phase of the NSW Government's sale process but was unsuccessful. The Association's proposal was that "the property be retained by the community and re-purposed as a significant cultural, economic and social asset and open to the public as a significant tourist destination".
