Background: Waraba Development Framework
Waraba, previously referred to as Caboolture West, is a designated long-term growth area identified for urban development in Moreton Bay. The entire development spans approximately 3,480 hectares and is expected to include 30,000 dwellings upon completion. It is forecast to support a population of around 70,000 people over the next four decades.
Lilywood Landings is the initial residential neighbourhood within this broader plan. It is situated near the Caboolture River and has been identified as the entry point for staged housing delivery in the area.

Project Details and Broader Scope
Construction at Lilywood Landings is ongoing, with around 100 homes currently in development. The area is planned to include 70 hectares of public greenspace, 4.5 kilometres of shared paths, sporting fields, local parks, a new state primary school, and a town centre with retail and other amenities.
Future stages of the broader Waraba development will involve the delivery of multiple school sites, public transport links, and additional residential precincts. Regional projections estimate the Moreton Bay area will support a $40 billion economy and 240,000 jobs by 2041.

Construction and Delivery Partners
The first home at Lilywood Landings was delivered by Integrale Homes, with land development managed by Lennium Group. Representatives from both organisations were present during the handover process.
Construction remains active across adjacent lots, with additional families expected to move in over the coming weeks as dwellings reach completion.
Outlook for Residential Growth in Caboolture
Waraba is one of the largest planned residential growth areas in Queensland. Its scale and infrastructure planning are intended to meet increasing demand for housing in the Caboolture and Moreton Bay regions. The occupation of the first completed home signals the commencement of long-term residential settlement in the precinct.
