Four well-known development companies have banded together to unlock an initial 2,000 parcels of land in one of the southeast’s largest future communities, in a Queensland first.

Over the next 40 years, Caboolture West, aptly named Waraba from the language of the traditional custodians, the Kabi Kabi people, is set to accommodate 70,000 residents and 30,000 homes.

AVID Property Group (AVID), Baycrown Property Group, Lennium Group and Orchard Property Group will simultaneously commence works on Caboolture West’s first precinct, the new suburb of Lilywood, which will consist of about 70 hectares of green space, pedestrian and bike paths stretching 4.5km along the Caboolture River, a new state primary school, sporting fields, local parks and a town centre featuring

shopping and other amenities.

The four new residential communities will feature turnkey homes and affordable house and land packages on blocks ranging from 300 to 600sq m.

Spokesperson for the Landowners Group of the four initial Caboolture West developers and AVID General Manager Queensland, Anthony Demiris, said the development approvals mark a significant milestone in the creation of Caboolture West.

“They (the approvals) are also the result of productive and collaborative partnerships between all levels of government, utility providers and landowners – all of whom have been unified in their goal to bring forward much-needed land and housing in the region,” Mr Demiris said.

“We are looking forward to breaking ground on site to get construction moving as quickly as possible to deliver the land and homes this growing region needs.’’

City of Moreton Bay Council Mayor Peter Flannery said well-planned communities like Caboolture West don’t happen overnight.

“Well-planned communities are the result of years of detailed land use and infrastructure planning and collaboration between all stakeholders,” Mr Flannerey said.

“The ultimate winners will be its future residents who will benefit from a diverse range of affordable housing options with walkable neighbourhoods, local parks, a district scale sports facility, a primary school, local shopping facilities and at least 70 hectares of green space with pedestrian and cycle paths along the Caboolture River.’’

Construction on initial water and sewer infrastructure commenced in mid-October 2023.

The first neighbourhood display village, located at the entrance to the new masterplanned precinct, is expected to open in mid-2025.
