North Harbour to Redefine Moreton Bay’s Manufacturing Landscape

The manufacturing landscape in Moreton Bay is on the cusp of a remarkable transformation, and North Harbour is at the forefront of this exciting venture. 

The $1 billion North Harbour Business Park, a visionary project that epitomizes the City of Moreton Bay’s next generation of business opportunity, has sold stage 1 in the first three weeks of its launch. Spanning an impressive 76 hectares, this mixed industry and business precinct will pave the way for a thriving ecosystem of industries and businesses, promising to inject fresh vigour into the local and regional economy. 

In synergy with the proposed Marina precinct, this dynamic development is projected to generate an estimated 6,416 jobs. 

An outstanding opportunity for owner occupiers, developers, and investors to secure industrial land in a master-planned community. 

North Harbour is offering various lots in the Current Release of Stage 1, ranging from 1,800 sqm to 18,000 sqm of vacant land in the thriving industrial precinct. 

The precinct will be serviced by residential development and a local central hub that boosts health and shopping needs.

Development Manager Tom Hall-Brown said North Harbour is offering a promising future for the community.

Strategically positioned on along the Bruce Highway, an expansive 785-hectare landholding, North Harbour boasts an unrivalled significance within the region. 

Mr Hall-Brown said it is making it an ideal location for integrated development.

“Located In the heart of one of Australia’s most exciting growth corridors, North Harbour is perfectly positioned for businesses to take full advantage of a burgeoning demand in the many sectors,” Mr Hall-Brown said. 

“With North Harbour’s own rapidly expanding population complementing a forecast explosion in the number of people calling the City of Moreton Bay home, the demand for all things connected to building, home decorating, bulky good and manufacturing and distribution couldn’t be greater.”

Highly visible and easily accessible from the adjacent Bruce Highway, North Harbour Business Park will also serve as a prominent landmark for customers from all over Southeast Queensland.

Easy and efficient connections to major transport links are the lifeblood of the manufacturing and distribution industries.

Superb connectivity also plays out in North Harbour’s broadband network, which delivers some of the country’s fastest internet speeds. Access to underground reticulated natural gas is another important benefit of doing business here, allowing companies greater control over running costs while improving their carbon footprint.  

Port Binnli, is the visionary developer behind North Harbour’s success, bringing 30 years of profound experience in Queensland. Their unyielding commitment to excellence and unwavering focus on the City of Moreton Bay have earned them a prestigious reputation. North Harbour’s accolades, including Queensland’s Best Parks and Recreation in the esteemed 2021 UDIA Queensland Awards and Best Residential Subdivision in 2018, reflect the meticulous planning, community engagement, sustainability, and innovative urban design that define this extraordinary project.

Why Waiting to Buy Your New Home Costs More

Tips from one of North Harbour’s wonderful Australian Builders Burbank. 

You can find out more at www.burbank.com.au

Many of our customers ask us questions regarding the home and build prices rising or decreasing and when should they start looking to purchase their new home. 

In a process where you need to involve both the land, build, and lenders– the timing of some of these decisions can play an important role.

To support you in understanding your options and the ramifications of holding off, here are 5 reasons why you should take action now and take the leap to purchase your new home.

1) Price protection periods: The good builders will look after you and will provide price protection guarantees or price freeze periods. At Burbank, we know how important every dollar is to our customers and believe there’s no need to gamble on price movements. Unlike other builders, we offer our customers a Price Protection Guarantee which means there is no need to ‘time’ when you commit to your home as you’ll always end up with the cheaper price if it rises or falls in the future.

How our Price Protection Guarantee works: For up to 15 months, Burbank can guarantee the cheapest future base price you will be paying on your home. Meaning you can rest assured that you’re getting the best deal. 

2) Avoid paying interest on your land after it settles – When your land settles, you’re required to pay interest therefore the longer you wait to select your builder, the more interest you’ll be required to pay a $350,000 land purchase with a 5% interest rate this will be costing you around $1,468 per month while nothing is being built on it. Plus place your current rent/mortgage expenses on top of that for your total cost of not acting sooner.

3) Preparation is required before a build can start (which takes time). There is a misconception about building, is that it’s not like most other things you go and buy. Planning a new build can take months and is a process that involves many stakeholders outside of just the builder. That’s why it is better to get started right away so that you aren’t waiting on things like council approval, developer covenant applications, bank approvals, and more while you’re also paying interest on your land as well as your current rent or mortgage.

4) Understand all the costs related to your block and avoid any surprises – Burbank will be able to check for things that sometimes the land developer may not advise you on at the time. Things like additional costs for site conditions (slope, soil type, rock), planning requirements (bushfire, acoustic), site access, and more. You don’t want to be stuck owning the ‘dud’ block in the street that may cost you thousands more to build on than something else down the road. 

5) Don’t be rushed, give yourself time to make the right decisions for your future home and investment – As mentioned above once your land is settled each day you delay things is a tangible cost. So you’re better off starting earlier and taking your time deciding the exact floorplan that suits your family, all the inclusions that are on your must-have list, and the colour scheme you want to select. Rushing these items once your land is settled leads to many people forgetting these key items when it is too late to change once the builder is started on site.
