The four new neighbourhoods will offer a range of affordable housing options, including land lots starting at 300 sqm for custom builds, turnkey homes that are move-in ready, and combined house and land packages.
The first display village showcasing model homes and land lots will open by mid-2025 near the entrance to the masterplanned community.
Developers AVID Property Group, Baycrown Property Group, Lennium Group and Orchard Property Group, which received approval from the Moreton Bay Regional Council in August 2023, will begin work on infrastructure like water, sewerage, roads and intersections starting in mid-October.
“Caboolture West’s first precinct – the new suburb of Lilywood within the Waraba area – will comprise about 70 hectares of greenspace, pedestrian and bike paths stretching 4.5km along the Caboolture River, a new state primary school, sporting fields, local parks and a town centre featuring shopping and other amenities,” AVID stated.
At the same time, they will also start subdivision works to create the first registered blocks of land, which will be available for purchase later this year and completed by October 2024.
City of Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery said he was pleased to see the development moving forward.
“Well-planned communities like Caboolture West don’t happen overnight and are the result years of detailed land use and infrastructure planning and collaboration between all stakeholders,” Cr Flannery said.
Mayor Flannery stated that the future residents will be the ultimate winners, benefiting from the diverse affordable housing options, walkable neighbourhoods, local parks, a district-scale sports facility, a new primary school, shopping facilities, and at least 70 hectares of green space with pedestrian and cycle paths along the Caboolture River.
