Highfield Living to unveil $50m, 230-home south coast plan

Oakland is developing the estate and Oakford Homes is building it. The project has been more than two decades in the making, the outlet reports.

Oakland property and development general manager Graeme Gibson said the company was proud “to bring this final piece of the puzzle to life”. He also said there had been huge demand for well-serviced, community-focused residential areas along the south coast for many years.

The numbers

The report gives these figures:

• More than 230 homes in the development.
• More than a quarter of the site set aside as green space, including wetlands, a central reserve and a playground.
• 90 additional jobs for the state.
• The first titles to be issued in the first quarter of next year.

The outlet says the first titles support the state government’s annual goal of creating 13,500 new homes.

The design follows the contours of the land rather than reshaping the site to fit a plan, with allotments following the natural character of the land. The outlet says the development is being billed as suited to growing families, outdoor enthusiasts and retirees seeking low-maintenance living.

The green space includes the Highfield Mountain Bike Trail, designed by trail builder TrailScapes. The report says it will be a network of trails for riders of all skill levels.

What’s next

The launch event is at the Boatshed, Hallett Cove, on Saturday from 10am to noon. Attendees can view the masterplan for the first time and get first call on a sales-team appointment to talk through how to buy.

The report does not name the council, give a development approval status or list lot numbers or prices. We have not opened a planning record for the site, so this story relies on the outlet’s reporting and the developer’s statements as quoted there.
