Woodlea Townhomes

<html><body>
As we look towards an ever-changing future of community development within Australia, <a href="http://www.vicinvest.com.au/">VIP</a> + <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a> have created Woodlea – a landmark project which represents what modern community living could look like in years to come. With an anticipated 15-year masterplan, the team are already well on their way towards delivering a fully functioning, integrated community across 711-hectares of land within the Melton East corridor.

Since the development’s establishment four years ago, Woodlea has already welcomed 3,600 residents, with scope to double that number by 2020. The anticipated community population is estimated to reach over 20,000 upon completion. According to the 2019 HIA Population &amp; Residential Building Hotspots Report, Rockbank’s population experienced a 59.4% growth in 2017/18 and over $224 million in building approvals – which goes to show the extent Woodlea’s exponential growth is having on the wider community.

<blockquote>
“The vision for Woodlea is about creating and raising the bar for a new suburb for Melbourne’s West that gives families the opportunity to live a better life and this creates a flow-on effect for other suburbs and communities in the West.”
</blockquote>

Lora Djurdjevic, Sales &amp; Marketing Manager

<h2>What makes Woodlea so popular?</h2>

Through intuitive and thoughtful design, the team behind Woodlea have looked past the cookie cutter approach and instead placed focus on lifestyle. Each home has been constructed within 200 metres of a park, 30% of the entire development is dedicated to beautifully landscaped public open spaces and a noise attenuation wall will be implemented along the Western Freeway.

A retail outlet Woodlea Town Centre is slated to open next year and will include multiple retail offerings, dining options and a Coles supermarket. Earlier this year, Woodlea also welcomed a brand new high school, Bacchus Marsh Grammar, and announced the Woodlea Early Learning Centre; which will join the precinct’s three primary schools.

“As well as providing wonderful homes, we want to provide opportunities including employment, education, retail, commercial and community services as a means of taking suburban living to a new and inspiring standard.” 
</blockquote>

Matthew Dean, Project Director

<h2>Upgrades in the area</h2>

To cater to the growing population, an emphasis has been placed on the revitalisation of pre-existing infrastructure. The Rockbank Station is currently undergoing renovation and is set to be complete late 2019.

The government will also be upgrading the Sunshine and Footscray Hospitals, as well as developing the new Westgate Tunnel to aid in easing traffic congestion.

Number of residents in the Woodlea development expected to double by 2020

Woodlea’s triumphant launch to market has led to its sixth town-house release due to popular demand. The precinct is now Australia’s fastest community and has almost sold out, with 60 town-houses being snapped up by buyers within the space of a year.

<blockquote>
“Townhouses are generally reserved for inner city living but the different townhouse collections we’ve released to date have received strong demand from all different purchasers, proving there is no one size fits all."
</blockquote>

Lora Djurdjevic, Woodlea Marketing Manager

Djurdjevic also notes that young couples and first home buyers have shown an interest in the homes due to the level of quality and value for money, while families and downsizers are impressed by the low maintenance aspects of the town-houses.

The sixth development Parkfront Retreat, designed by Porter Davis Homes, will feature 10 turn-key residences with 3 and 4-bedroom configurations, affordably priced from $433,000.

Each town-house will be constructed with timber flooring throughout, premium stone benchtops, 2.7-meter high stud ceilings and brick; render and lightweight cladding.

<figcaption>Woodlea's sixth town-home edition Parkfront Retreat</figcaption></figure>Each dwelling boasts both a balcony and a courtyard for excellent light and airflow throughout the property and a great area for entertaining design by MDG Landscape Architects. The convenient location of the town-houses neighbours Featherwood Park and is only 350 metres from the future Woodlea Town Centre which is due to open next year.

<blockquote>
“Our townhouse releases are always located in prime locations within the Woodlea estate and overlook one of the many parks available, with the future town centre and schools all just a short stroll away... This has been an incredibly appealing feature for families as everything they need is right on the doorstep of their brand new home.”
</blockquote>

Lora Djurdjevic, Woodlea Marketing Manager

All properties are freehold, and buyers will be exempt from paying an Owners Corporation fee.
