A $40 million land estate in Narangba has sold out 106 residential lots across two stages, with first homebuyers making up most of the purchasers.



Sell-Out At Narangba Estate

The Junction Narangba, developed by Orchard Property Group, has officially sold all 106 lots across two stages. The $40 million project reflects ongoing demand for housing opportunities in the Moreton Bay Region, particularly among those entering the market for the first time.

Affordability Drives Sales

Lot prices in the estate began at $250,000, with sizes ranging from 225 square metres to 731 square metres. Orchard confirmed that around 60 per cent of all sales were made to first homebuyers. Many purchasers sought to keep house-and-land packages under $750,000 in order to qualify for Queensland’s first-home buyer grants.

Buyer Mix In Stage Two

Sales records show that the second stage included 49 lots. Of these, 36 were purchased by first homebuyers, eight by investors and two by subsequent homebuyers. The figures indicate that entry-level affordability was the main attraction for those securing property in the development.

Community And Location

The Junction Narangba is located off Callaghan Road and includes 1.3 hectares of green space with a park and children’s playground. Its position close to schools, transport and shopping centres means new residents will move into an established and connected area, rather than a developing site waiting for future services.

Market Conditions In South East Queensland

The complete sell-out of the estate comes during a period of record-low land supply in South East Queensland. According to recent reports, average land prices in the region now exceed $1,000 per square metre, adding pressure to areas such as the Moreton Bay Region where growth continues to intensify.

Timeline For Residents



Subdivision registration is expected in September 2025, with building works likely to begin before Christmas. The first group of residents are projected to move into the new community by mid-2026.

Affordable Housing Project Commences in Mango Hill

Construction has commenced in Mango Hill on a dedicated affordable housing complex designed for women aged over 55 at risk of homelessness.



Background on Housing Demand in Mango Hill

Women over 55 have been identified as the fastest-growing demographic at risk of homelessness in Australia. In response, a new housing project has been launched in Mango Hill as part of broader efforts to address housing affordability across the City of Moreton Bay.

The sod-turning ceremony took place on 22 July 2025, formally marking the beginning of works on the new complex. The project is being delivered through a partnership between the State and Y-Care, with local authorities’ support.

Details of the Development

The development is being constructed on Linear Drive in Mango Hill and will consist of 47 single-bedroom units. It will include shared community areas and provide on-site support services for residents.

The units are being constructed to meet the Social Housing Design Guidelines, ensuring accessibility for older residents and people living with disabilities.

Construction is expected to be completed by late 2026.

Financial Support and Approvals

The City of Moreton Bay is waiving nearly $700,000 in infrastructure charges and development application fees to support the project. A recent development application was lodged for minor changes to the approved plans.

These waived fees are part of broader local initiatives introduced since March 2023, aimed at attracting more social housing developments.

Broader Regional Context

This project forms part of a wider pipeline of more than 670 social and affordable homes that are either under construction or under contract across the Moreton Bay region.

Other projects are underway in Redcliffe and Deception Bay, including a First Nations-led housing initiative.

Community Perspective

The project was described by involved organisations as a necessary step in providing older women with secure, long-term housing options. Stakeholders at the sod-turning event highlighted the importance of wraparound services and community infrastructure in ensuring stability and connection for residents.

What’s Next



The Mango Hill housing complex is expected to be delivered by late 2026. It is one of several ongoing developments addressing homelessness and housing affordability in Moreton Bay, with further projects under assessment.
