The Rathbone - 23-47 Flinders Street, Surry Hills

AVID Property Group (AVID) has bought its second strategic development site in as many months, securing 40 hectares of land for a new 275-lot residential development in Chisholm in New South Wales’ Lower Hunter Region.

The announcement follows the confirmation last month of a deal on a 30.5 hectare site in Pakenham, west of Melbourne. The two new sites add almost $500 million to AVID’s national development pipeline.

AVID purchased the strategically located site adjacent to AVID’s highly popular communities of Waterford and Harvest.

“The site in Chisholm builds on our existing presence in the area and takes our Waterford community to a total of 1,500 lots, which will eventually become home to up to 3,600c people,” AVID CEO Cameron Holt said.

Substantial population growth in the Hunter Region will see rising demand for housing in the region, with predicted population rises set to see another 86,703 more people – 10 per cent more than what was predicted just a few years ago.

According to the Hunter Regional Plan 2036, the Hunter is the leading regional economy in Australia and is currently home to more than 860,000 people. This figure is expected to grow to 1.1 million by 2031 
 
“AVID has grown a strong foundation within the Lower Hunter Region of New South Wales, allowing us to continue to expand our offering and investment within this corridor,” Holt added.

“As one of New South Wales’ highest growth areas, the Hunter region is an appealing lifestyle proposition at great value, which has long been a draw card for buyers at all stages of life.

“We’ve had considerable success in the Lower Hunter, with the sell-out of Harvest, a 510-home community in Chisholm, and high demand for Waterford, which has already sold around 1000 home sites since it was launched in Jan 2018.”

The acquisition enables the completion of the masterplan envisioned for the Waterford community, including new housing options and connecting roads.

The greenfield site is located 23 kilometres north of Newcastle, surrounded by 74 hectares of green space, pristine waterways and native wetlands, and seven kilometres of cycling and walking tracks, with a scenic outlook across Four Mile Creek.

AVID will lodge planning applications with Council in the coming weeks, and it anticipates launching to market in 2024.

Six leaves is the new gold standard as developers look to create more environmentally sustainable communities within south east Queensland.

As the state&rsquo;s population continues to surge, the need for more homes grows with it, placing pressure on greenfield developments and the impact accommodating the growth has on the environment.

EnviroDevelopment is a scientifically-based assessment scheme that independently reviews development projects, and awards certification to those that achieve outstanding performance across four or more of the provided elements, which includes categories; Ecosystems, Waste, Energy, Materials, Water and Community.

AVID Property Group&nbsp;was an early adopter of independently reviewed EnviroDevelopment certification across its portfolio, continuing this accreditation with its new Northern Gold Coast housing development.

Prior to its official launch, Amara by AVID Property Group in Northern Gold Coast was recognised by the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) receiving six &lsquo;Leaf&rsquo; national EnviroDevelopment certification - the highest possible level of accreditation.

The first built form community in AVID&rsquo;s portfolio to achieve this certification, Amara met rigorous criteria demonstrating outstanding performance across all six elements of assessment including ecosystems, waste, energy, materials, water, and community.

AVID&rsquo;s General Manager Queensland Bruce Harper said the developer is prioritising sustainable measures to align with exponential population growth and their sustainable savvy customers.

&ldquo;With the anticipated population growth over the coming years there is both great responsibility and opportunity for our business&rsquo; ecological footprint,&rdquo; Harper said.

&ldquo;AVID recognises the need to move away from traditional practices and typical building materials to something more sustainable, whether it be power, water or materials, and has seamlessly adopted EnviroDevelopment as a core element of our business.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re committed to creating communities which are truly sustainable and liveable, designed to use resources responsibly and offer a range of benefits to the homeowners such as low energy consumption and reduced water bills.&rdquo;

As the Gold Coast region is renowned for its natural surroundings, AVID&rsquo;s set out to create something that was community driven, with a future-focused and customer-centric mantra.

Once complete, Amara will boast 12.9-hectares of green spaces, with a 10-hectare fauna movement corridor adjacent the Pimpama River included in the area.

Amara will also comprise 5,700 sqm of activated parklands, incorporating recycled hard landscape materials, and green leafy spaces for shade and picnics.

Every home constructed will include energy efficient features&nbsp;such as solar panels, state of the art insulation and appliances, as well as an underlying Truecore steel framework, while the private gardens will include drought tolerant plan species to reduce demand on the local water supply.

Committed to creating communities which inspire its residents to choose a sustainable lifestyle, AVID&rsquo;s southeast Queensland communities Harmony, Covella and Brentwood Forest have all received EnviroDevelopment Certification.

Avid Property Group has purchased a 41ha site north of Brisbane from ASX-listed company CSR.

The former Warner quarry is expected to provide 400 residential blocks with construction to begin in 2023.

Colliers sold the site for about $30 million.

The 107-109 Kremzow Road site joins the group&rsquo;s 12 other residential communities in Queensland.

Avid has delivered $2.6 billion worth of projects over the past 13 years, with its current portfolio including more than 14,300 residential blocks with a gross revenue pipeline of $4.9 billion.

To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here

With 38 projects across the eastern seaboard, AVID has a diverse mix of developments, including masterplanned communities, completed homes and apartments.

AVID general manager Queensland Bruce Harper said the new site strengthened its Queensland portfolio and ongoing pipeline of land in the region.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve had considerable success in the Moreton Bay region, with three of AVID&rsquo;s communities in the area selling out this year &ndash; more than six months ahead of their anticipated timeframe &ndash; a clear indication that this region is highly sought after and supply constrained,&rdquo; Mr Harper said.

&ldquo;The region is recognised as one of South East Queensland&rsquo;s strongest growth areas and provides home buyers with excellent connection to major transport networks, an array of employment opportunities and a number of education options.

To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here

&nbsp;&ldquo;Home buyers are beginning to realise there is no longer a need to pay top dollar for a tiny block on the fringe of Brisbane&rsquo;s CBD and can instead live in the outer suburbs and have a better lifestyle, a modern and new home, and still be connected to work, schools, shopping and entertainment.

Avid chief executive Cameron Holt said the acquisition formed part of AVID&rsquo;s ambitious growth strategy and aligned with the business&rsquo; core focus of operating in key growth corridors across Australia&rsquo;s eastern seaboard.

&ldquo;We&#39;ve made no secret of our appetite for growth and this site strengthens our future pipeline in what is a supply constrained market,&rdquo; Mr Holt said.

The new site joins the group’s 12 other communities across Queensland

A partnership between AVID Property Group (AVID) and RPS Group (RPS) have created an industry first, putting new masterplanned communities officially on the map.

The goal of new and improved street mapping services is boosting safety, convenience and liveability at communities. Mapping services such as Google have traditionally lacked the resources required to upload residential address data, taking up to five years to put new communities on the map.

RPS identified the roadblock in the delivery of connected communities, offering a service that bypasses the typical process and delivers digitally mapped communities in up to three weeks – a service that was quickly adopted by AVID for its Harmony community on the Sunshine Coast.

RPS Service Line Leader Urban Design Peter Egerton, who has worked on the Harmony by AVID Property Group project since 2007, said he was excited to see the community become the earliest adopter of the new service. 

AVID General Manager Queensland Bruce Harper said the convenience of digital mapping was a luxury that was often taken for granted “Having visitors easily find your house and getting deliveries to your doorstep is a simply luxury new developments often miss out on,” Mr Harper said. 

RPS spent a day in the field to capture data which then took a week to upload and an additional week and a half to for Google to vet the data and upload to their system – totalling a maximum of three weeks. RPS has completed the first round of 1,200 blocks, home to around 3,500 residents and includes the Harmony Café will continue to roll this service out as each stage of the development is completed.

Located in the heart of the Sunshine Coast, Harmony is AVID Property Group’s $3 billion flagship development in South-East Queensland and is the largest masterplanned community underway in the Palmview area.

Set on 378 hectares, Harmony will deliver more than 4,800 homes for 12,000 future residents, catering to a diverse range of buyers – all enhanced by 100 hectares of open space and the future delivery of a new town centre.

Australia has seen rapid development growth of high-rise apartments across its major cities, with the Australian Bureau of Statistics noting that <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-08-18/how-bad-could-the-apartment-building-crisis-be-in-your-state/11413122?nw=0" target="_blank">667,394 apartments, flats and units were built nationally</a> between 2000 and 2019.
