Despite the recent rain, construction is progressing rapidly at South Jerrabomberra, which ensured that  our construction program met our Easter target, to keep settlement timeframes on track. 

Overall, despite weather challenges, the construction of house and land packages is also progressing quickly with 30 homes now under construction and significant progress since our last update. 

Village Building Company CEO Travis Doherty said the new Regional Jobs Precinct, was a ‘really big drawcard for the region, not only for jobs but also new housing.’ 

Happy New Year and welcome to the first construction update of 2021.

Favourable weather conditions throughout December and January have allowed construction to concentrate on the water, sewer and utility services along Environa Drive and into Release 2. The weather has also meant that trenches have been back filled and more of the surface construction across the project has been completed.

There has been considerable progress on works across South Jerrabomberra in recent weeks.

Construction of Environa Drive remains on track to be completed early next year. The concrete beams have now been installed on the bridge over Jerrabomberra Creek and the trees that will line the road have been ordered.

Asphalt has now been laid across roads in Stage 1A and the first street trees have been planted. 

The blocks of land and views at the new suburb of South Jerrabomberra are stunning, particularly on a warm, sunny morning.

Located just off the Monaro Highway, the South Jerra Sales Office sits among the extensive earthworks preparing the new suburb for home construction, with sewer, water, electricity and other services being installed underground for each block, ready for home builders to tap into.

The construction of a technology and business park, national-level sporting facilities, light industrial precinct and 1500 homes will add billions to the Queanbeyan and Canberra economies, and provide much-needed jobs in the region over the next 10 years, according to Village Building Company CEO Travis Doherty.

Village is delighted to announce the street names at South Jerrabomberra community have been confirmed. Residents will enter South Jerrabomberra along the beautifully tree-lined Environa Drive. From there the roads and laneways have been assigned names representing prominent Australian native flora, much of which is found in the local region.

It’s always fun to dream about building your very own home from scratch—being able to include as much storage as you need, designing your dream walk-in wardrobe, and installing your very own in-house sauna (maybe that last bit is just me).

But by the time you think about the cost of the land, builder’s fees, legal fees and stamp duty, it can feel overwhelming.

The recent bushfires have led to a wave of generosity in the ACT in gratitude to the fire fighters, and this week two Canberra companies combined to donate a much needed $10,000 to the Springfield Rural Fire Service.

Dreaming of a change in pace? Maybe a new look for life with open space and stunning views of rolling hills? The picturesque scenery along the border of ACT and NSW is certainly enough to spark dreams for many Canberrans to live large and live beautifully.
