Work starts on 2000 new homes

Construction has started on Rivermont, Stockland’s new master-planned community in Waraba - formerly known as Caboolture West.

It will provide around 2050 new homes across 175 hectares, including a 15ha Stockland Halcyon over-50s community.

Rivermont’s first stage of the development will be 205 homesites, ranging from 124sqm to 940sqm.

The first release of 20 lots will be early next year with settlements expected later in 2025 and first lots available to build on in the first quarter of 2026.

Rivermont will have around 47ha green space, including 3.5ha across six parks and nearly 16ha of linear parkland.

Close to 27 per cent of the site will also be dedicated to environmental rehabilitation.

Stockland General Manager QLD Development, David Laner said Rivermont will play a critical role in providing much-needed housing.

He said the homes will “cater to first home buyers, upgraders, young families, and those looking to downsize”.

“The community will keep residents close to everything they need, with plans for a cafe, local convenience and childcare, all in easy access to Morayfield Shopping Centre and train station,” Mr Laner said.

This is Stockland’s third community in the Moreton Bay region.

It follows Newport, which was last year recognised as Queensland’s best masterplanned community at the Urban Development Institute of Australia Queensland Awards and Kinma Valley.

Rivermont is part of the larger Waraba City, which will be home for around 70,000 residents in 30,000 homes over the next four decades.

It will also provide 970ha of green space, nine state primary schools, four secondary schools, employment and business opportunities by 2041.

Waraba has been declared a Priority Development Area (PDA) by the State Government and is a major expansion area in Shaping SEQ 2023.
