Former PM Scott Morrison’s $1.05m knockdown-rebuild project in Port Hacking is nearing completion.
The Morrison family has been renting at Burraneer Bay while their two-storey, five-bedroom, two-bathroom house plus powder room is being constructed.
With 306sq m space, it is an adaptation of G.J. Gardner’s Castaway 370 Palm Springs model. Apparently the curvaceous Palm Springs model is a popular line, even overtaking the Hamptons look.
The Morrisons bulldozed a 1960s house on the 680sq m block in February last year.
Morrison and wife Jenny had bought the single storey house in 2009 for $920,000, two years after his election, when moving from Bronte.

Meanwhile Scott Morrison’s successor, the newly promoted Federal member for Cook, Simon Kennedy, has bought in the safe Sutherland Shire electorate, according to a recent pecuniary interest update.
It was a $2.6m five-bedroom creek-side purchase at Gymea Bay in the name of his wife, physician Nila.
They had begun renting in Woolooware before his April 2024 by-election win, having been dubbed an “outsider” by some opponents.

He still retains his longtime investment property in Maroubra, which cost $4.1m in 2016.
The former McKinsey & Company partner serves as the shadow assistant minister to Opposition Leader Angus Taylor, and assistant spokesman for finance in the shadow cabinet.
He’s also deputy chair of the standing committee on economics, which is conducting a review of the four major banks.
The property purchase was funded by non-bank lender Firstmac.
He took Jane Hume, the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, to the local Kirrawee manufacturer, Loftus Pies earlier this month.
In March, Kennedy hosted Opposition Leader Angus Taylor at the Playground Cafe & Bar at Woolooware, in his electorate.
