Construction Update

Civil Construction is currently out to tender. The final land release for this stage has gone on sale.

All Planning and Engineering Approvals are in place and works have now commenced on site on Stage 1. We will start to see plenty of activity on site in the next few weeks.
Current completion and settlements are expected later in 2023. Villawood will provide regular construction and settlement updates via the William Lakes website.

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.

Trenches are excavated for the installation of underground services, which are usually delivered in order of sewer, drainage and water. The sewerage and drainage network is controlled by gravity, which is why they are often the deepest assets and are delivered first.

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).

Lodgement packages are prepared and finalised, individual titles for each lot are issued by the Titles Office. Your solicitor or finance broker is notified when this has occurred and will arrange for settlement.
Once settlement has occurred, your land is ready for you to commence the construction of your new home!
