New over 50s community coming to Burpengary East
Burpengary East is set to get a new over 50s community, as Stockland has launched Halcyon Serrata, a resort-style community with 250 homes.
Halcyon Serrata will offer 250 low-maintenance, turnkey homes, ready to move in sooner with a nine-month build guarantee.
Set on a 12-hectare site in Burpengary East and centred around its own nature reserve, Stockland says the resort-style community will help meet the needs of Australia’s growing over-50s population.
With one in three Australians now over the age of 50, recent Stockland research shows that this demographic is projected to grow by 1.8 per cent annually over the next decade, outpacing overall population growth by 0.4 per cent.
Queensland is expected to see an even higher rate at 1.9 per cent, making it one of the only states with a net gain in senior internal migration across both capital and regional areas.
Coastal and rural regions in particular are hot spots as the sea and tree change lifestyle trend gathers pace.
Queensland is leading the nation in over-50s housing, accounting for 50 per cent of all newly built land lease homes, with Moreton Bay emerging as one of the few key growth centres over the next five years.
This will be Stockland’s third over-50s Moreton Bay community.
Expressions of interest are open, with the first release of six sites scheduled for March 2025 and monthly releases thereafter. Construction of the first homes will also begin in March.
Halcyon Serrata’s next available public information session is on 6 March from 10am to 12pm at The North Lakes Hotel.
