Waraba Community Grows as First Display Village Welcomes Homebuyers

Lilywood Landings, the first display village in the rapidly growing city of Waraba, has opened. With dozens of homes designed by leading Australian builders, the Moreton Bay village is giving future residents an early glimpse into how the new city is taking shape.

A Milestone for Waraba’s Future

Waraba is designed to become home to around 70,000 residents over the next 40 years, supported by 30,000 new homes, schools, parks, sports fields, and a town centre — a scale comparable to the city of Mackay.

Opening on Saturday, 25 October, the Lilywood Landings Display Village represents a major milestone in the decades-long development of Waraba, a masterplanned community formerly known as Caboolture West. 

This first display village is a significant step forward, offering a tangible vision of how Waraba will grow into one of Queensland’s most important residential hubs. Around 250 lots in Lilywood Landings have already been sold since the first land release in mid-2024, and new families are now moving in, bringing the community to life.

Showcasing Diverse Homes and Local Talent

The display village is designed to reflect the relaxed lifestyle and natural beauty of the Moreton Bay region, offering a range of designs from 31 homes once fully complete. Homes are crafted by some of Australia’s most respected builders, including Brighton Homes, Burbank, Dare Homes, Glenvill Homes, Integrale Homes, McLachlan Homes, Metricon Homes, Neptune Homes, Orbit Homes, Roonsleigh Construction, Simonds Homes and Zoom Constructions.

More homes from Arcadia Homes, Creation Homes, Hudson Homes, Kiba Built, NuTrend Homes and Ultra Living Homes will join the village in the coming weeks as construction is finalised.

Representatives from Lennium Group, the developer behind Lilywood Landings, said the project marks an important moment in Waraba’s development, giving visitors a chance to experience the quality and diversity of the new community. They highlighted that every home was thoughtfully designed to reflect the region’s character while showcasing the expertise of Queensland’s building industry.

Master Builders Queensland, which partnered with Lennium Group on the project, noted that the display village offers a wide range of living options, from private retreats to family-friendly spaces. The organisation described the construction process as an exciting step in creating a transformational new neighbourhood for the region.

Building a Connected and Sustainable Community

Lilywood Landings is the first neighbourhood to emerge within Waraba’s boundaries, and its display village is expected to become a central destination for homebuyers seeking inspiration and information about the future city. With its mix of modern family homes, single-level designs, and thoughtful layouts, the village reflects the broader vision for Waraba — a connected, sustainable, and community-focused city built for long-term growth.

The display village is located on Merryvale Circuit, Lilywood, and is open for visitors from Saturday to Wednesday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Those interested in exploring the homes and meeting the builders can find more information at lilywoodlandings.com.au/display-village.

Waraba Welcomes First Residents as New City Takes Shape

The first pioneering families are officially bringing the massive new city of Waraba to life, settling into their brand-new homes in the Lilywood Landings community at the heart of the emerging Moreton Bay metropolis.

A Neighbourhood is Born

The sounds of construction are now mixing with the sounds of community life in Lilywood Landings, the first residential project within the new city boundaries of Waraba. With the initial four stages of the development now substantially finished, a steady flow of new residents is moving in, transforming empty streets into a living neighbourhood.

Demand for property in the area has been high, with initial land releases being fully subscribed. According to the developer, Lennium, a large percentage of the new residents are owner-occupiers, establishing a foundation for a long-term community. Prospective buyers have been advised to register for future land releases to be notified of availability, with the next stage scheduled for public release in early October.

Infrastructure for a Future City

Beyond the rows of new houses, foundational infrastructure for the future city is visibly progressing. Bulk earthworks across the site are being finalised, and construction is continuing on a central waterway system designed to be a key feature of the area. Environmental projects are also a priority, with rehabilitation work set to commence soon on the Green Network corridor along the Caboolture River.

The city’s first park is also close to completion. The public space includes a children’s playground, shelters, open fields for sports, and a half-court for basketball, all connected by a network of paths. These facilities are intended to provide residents with immediate recreational spaces as the community grows.

The 40-Year Vision

Formerly known as Caboolture West, the project was given the name Waraba, which means “burn” in the local Kabi Kabi language. This development is a significant 40-year undertaking in the City of Moreton Bay, planned to accommodate an eventual population of 70,000 people in around 30,000 homes. The projected size is comparable to that of the regional city of Mackay.

Lennium Development Manager Ian Worthington stated that the construction progress over the last 18 months has been significant. He said that each new home and family moving in contributes to a growing sense of community on site. He added that Lilywood Landings is positioned to provide local families and first-home buyers a chance to acquire a home at an affordable price point while being part of a completely new city’s development from its earliest stages.
