Developer Cedar Woods Properties has completed civil works and settled land sales for 49 home sites in stage one of the masterplanned community.
Stage two sold out quickly as well, with 54 lots to settle in March. Just launched, stage three is expected to see first settlements in May.
The completed Sage development will offer 329 residential lots centred around an 8,000 square metre park and traversed by a seven-hectare green spine.
In keeping with its environmental principles, Cedar Woods is preserving roughly 30 percent of the Sage Burpengary site as a naturalised green corridor. The developer is making a significant investment to rehabilitate and connect the ecological reserve to wider regional conservation areas.
This environmental focus aligns with Cedar Woods’ commitment to sustainability across its masterplanned communities.
Through retention and enhancement of vegetated spaces, the Sage development aims to support local biodiversity and create natural amenity within the neighbourhood.
The planned 7-hectare green spine will provide recreational trails linking homes to the open space network. Cedar Woods’ approach balances residential growth with protection of ecologically sensitive lands.
Moreton Bay Regional Council Mayor Peter Flannery welcomed the development, saying it will help provide much-needed new housing for the area.
Mayor Flannery highlighted that the city is thriving with around 240 new residents arriving each week, drawn by affordable living, lifestyle, jobs, education and transport options.
Cedar Woods Queensland Development Director Blair Britton said the strong buyer response to stages one and two shows demand for affordable new homes in Burpengary.
He noted that Urbis’ research shows population and house price growth in this area is outpacing Greater Brisbane due to employment, lifestyle and housing affordability.
