Construction Update

Once the Planning Permit has been issued by Council, stage specific plans, including roads and drainage, sewer and water, gas, electrical, telecommunication and landscaping plans, are lodged for approval with the relevant authorities.

Currently on track for the commence of construction in Q3 2024.

Machinery is brought onto site to strip existing topsoil and start shaping the land to ensure that the required levels are met for road and lot construction. This usually includes cutting and filling various areas within the stage, to meet required design levels.

Stage 2 Civil Works are well underway, with the basin also taking shape. Work on storm water, sewer and water infrastructure will continue over the next few weeks.

Further underground services are installed including electricity and telecommunications (fibre internet). Road construction takes place over several phases. Excavation and preparation of the base layer commences first and is often followed by installation of various conduit crossings and kerb construction.

Construction of the road continues, with numerous road layers completed through to the final asphalt layer. The stage starts to look like your future community, with driveways, footpaths and nature strips created.

Each stage is closely inspected and audited by various authorities to ensure the new infrastructure complies with the plans and relevant standards. The inspections and audits can be quite complex and often take some time to complete. Once all authorities have provided their approvals, Council will issue a Statement of Compliance (SoC).

Stage 2 civil construction is now complete, with roads open to the public from 11 November 2024. Works will continue on the retaining walls, which are due for completion in December 2024. The construction of Outlook Park and the new intersection to Grand Junction Road will continue into 2025, please be mindful of the continuing work in the area as you are enjoying access to Stage 2.
