Villawood Breaks Ground on Debut Redland Bay Project

Work has begun on a $250-million greenfield development at a growth hotspot in Brisbane’s south-east.

The Baya community at Southern Redland Bay, about 40 minutes by road from the centre of the Queensland capital, will comprise 224 homes.

Being developed by Villawood Properties as its first in the region, the estate will include a neighbourhood recreation park, linear park and extensive green space. It is to be delivered over seven stages with lots from 358sq m to 1184 square metres.

Villawood Properties chief executive Alan Miller said the project had been highly sought after with more than 1000 registrations of interest in four weeks.

“The project will deliver critically needed housing to south-east Queensland and the Redland Bay area, generating upwards of 700 local jobs over the course of civil construction and home construction,” Miller said.

Villawood Queensland general manager Michael Williams said the Baya masterplan had been designed with a central 1.8ha environmental corridor running through the spine of the project, bounded by a recreation park, linear park and more than a hectare of additional green space.

“There will be an extensive network of walking tracks and cycleways weaving through the development, and open space connecting residents to new parks, a proposed town centre and foreshore in the broader Southern Redland Bay area,” Williams said.

The Baya community is the developer’s seventh in south-east Queensland and comes on the back of the sellout success of its The Arbour at Burleigh Heads, Helensvale’s masterplanned community, The Surrounds, and Montego Hills at Kingsholme.

Villawood recently launched a 700-lot community at Gleneagle, bordering the Beaudesert township and now in its fourth stage of construction.

With major local investments such as the new Scenic Shores State School and the $300-million expansion of Redland Hospital, the region was to welcome more healthcare and support workers, Villawood said.

Because of this, it was rolling out its Care Worker Support Program at Baya, offering emergency staff, nurses, teachers and other care workers a $20,000 package to help them enter the housing market, at Baya, the developer said.
