A 116-townhouse community with a resort-style pool, landscaped recreation areas and an amphitheatre could soon reshape a key pocket of Mango Hill, with plans lodged for a $100-million project called Avela.

The proposal arrives at a pointed moment for the suburb. Mango Hill’s median house price has climbed 13.5 per cent over the past year to $1,032,500, a trajectory that has prompted the developer to position townhouse living as a more attainable option in the suburb.
The project is being driven by development group Chapter Two. The group previously delivered Kinsella’s Rise in the suburb, a land estate that sold out in 2023, and is now returning with a townhouse product rather than a land estate.
What Is Avela and What Does It Include?
The proposed site sits directly opposite Mango Hill Secondary College, within easy reach of public transport, Westfield North Lakes, university facilities and major health services. More than 6,000 square metres of the site would be set aside for communal open space, anchored by a resort-style pool and pavilion, with landscaped recreation areas and a natural bush backdrop framing an outdoor amphitheatre.
Avela is framed in the plans as a more attainable alternative to detached housing, with the developer citing rising house prices as context for the project. Pricing for the townhouses has not yet been announced.
Subject to council approval, sales and construction are expected to begin in 2027.
The proposal comes alongside another housing initiative taking shape in Mango Hill. Queensland is currently partnering with community housing provider Y-Care to deliver 47 affordable homes in the suburb specifically for older women, a project expected to be completed by late 2026.

Taken together, the activity points to a suburb under real pressure to house a growing and increasingly diverse population. Townhouse developments have been increasingly promoted by developers across South-East Queensland as an intermediate option between detached homes and apartments.
