Catch The Ja Joint Jamaican Catering Bus & more at our upcoming display village events!

 

Christmas is on the horizon and do we have some awesome events lined up for you! In case you’re not a fan of rhetorical questions – yes, we do and they’re FREE.

Yesterday we kicked off our end of year celebrations and welcomed the Nova FM team for their first outside broadcast from North Harbour. Thank you to everyone who made it and well done to everyone who won prizes! It was excellent to see so many happy faces at the Display Village, we do love a big event at North Harbour.

Which brings me to our next one…The Ja Joint Bus! What’s a Ja Joint Bus? Well, it’s a Jamaican themed 1950’s London Double Decker Food Bus which will be setting up in the Display Village on Sunday 27th November to bring you an afternoon of soul and spice and all things nice! The food is cooked in award winning Jamaican spices and sauces in two 65-gallon drum smokers, “low n slow taking it back to tribal days”.

 

The Ja Joint story starts in St Ann, Jamaica, where the founder Carly Day’s family worked as commercial growers and farmers in the early 1920’s. Ja Joint is about connecting cultures through food and giving Australians amazing quality Jamaican products, handcrafted in Australia.

The bus itself is also equipped with a sound system and the Ja Joint team will be bringing their awesome music and entertainment skills to the event. We hope to see you there:

Time: 10.00am to 3.00pm

Place: North Harbour Display Village

Cost: FREE food, entertainment and soft drink

Next on the agenda is North Harbour’s inaugural Movies in the Village Park event on Saturday December 10th. We’ll be showing the classic “A Muppet Christmas Carol” at 7:30pm with the event kicking off at 6:30pm with some Christmas presents for the kids. BYO picnic, blankets, chairs and Christmas spirit
.
Time: From 6:30pm, movie starts at 7:30pm

Cost: FREE movie; BYO picnic, blankets, chairs and Christmas spirit

FREE kids Christmas presents

Keep an eye on Facebook where we’ll be posting additional info on events closer to the time. We do also send reminder emails and SMS so if you’d like to receive these updates please register your interest on our website.

 

While we’re talking Christmas – it’s our first at North Harbour! Now home to over 100 families there will be a lot of brand new kitchens and BBQs firing up to create the first family Christmas dinner at North Harbour. As you know, each home at North Harbour has access to reticulated gas for indoor and outdoor cooking so it’s time to get the creative juices flowing with the perfect Christmas menu to match your perfect new home.

There are heaps of places to get inspiration from, we’ve chosen a few favourites below:

Donna Hay: Aussie girl Donna always hits it out the park at Christmas with her decorating ideas and table pieces. This year we’ll be trying her Apple and Herb Brined Turkey with Rosemary Gravy. Mmmmmmm.

Jamie Oliver: A British import, Jamie has set his sights on Australia in the last few years and has partnered with Woolworths to make his mark on easy, nutritious dinners. His Stuffing Meatballs Wrapped in Prosciutto should go down a treat.

Delia Smith: If you’re going all out this Christmas then look no further than Delia’s recipe for Perfect Roast Spuds. Guaranteed to be the crunchiest, tastiest roast potatoes you’ve ever had, this recipe elevates a great meal into the award-winning category.

Taste.com.au: If you’re looking for any recipes this Christmas, www.taste.com.au never fails to provide. All recipes are rated and reviewed so you can see what works and will be perfect for your meal.

Before we wrap up (!), over the next few weeks we’ll be focussing on a builder from the Display Village each week. This week’s builder profile is Valeco Homes. Valeco has two display homes at North Harbour, the Mandalay 31 and the Headland 26.

Valeco Homes’ designs cater to everyone from families to investors and first home buyers on a budget. For a professional finish, Valeco’s building designers and interior design team rely on a combination of experience and industry training to create a modern, yet family-oriented finish. The Valeco team pride themselves on being true complete turn-key builders. They’ll work with you to make sure you get exactly the look you’re after and make your dream home a reality. To find out more visit our display village builders page.

North Harbour Sales Office & Display Village is open seven days a week, 10am-5pm (excluding public holidays).

Stage 11 House and Land Packages Have Lift-Off!

It’s been a warm week in South East Queensland (fortunately North Harbour is usually a few degrees cooler being so close to the water and getting that great sea breeze). This week seems to have flown past (like one of those butterflies we’re seeing everywhere) and we’re already hearing Christmas bells faintly jangling at North Harbour!

 

Yesterday saw the launch of Stage 11, The Norfolk Release. Norfolk offers Lot sizes from 400m2 – 640m2 on a variety of block types including Traditional, Courtyard and Premium Villa. We have created a number of house and land packages in Stage 11 for a diverse range of needs including First Home Buyers keen to take advantage of the current $20,000 First Home Buyer’s Grant. 

Provided by the State Government, the First Home Buyers Grant is only available to those buying their first home in Australia who meet all the eligibility criteria. The Grant has been at $20,000 since July 1st, 2016 and won’t be around forever, so if you are thinking of buying but not sure if you can afford it – don’t put it off, talk to a financial advisor now. A good financial planner can help you towards your goals. We also have builders in our Display Village who specialise in helping First Home Buyers so do drop in to see us at the Sales Office for a point in the right direction.

If you’re visiting North Harbour, make sure you take a trip around the Coral Homes displays. Coral opened the very first North Harbour Display Home in March of this year and their stunning designs are well worth a look. Coral Homes is one of the largest, most respected home builders in Australia, with a vast building area and display home network spanning from Bundaberg to Sydney and west to Toowoomba. We are proud to be Coral Homes Burpengary base showcasing three designs; The Kingscliff 23, The Noosa 25 and the Daydream 30. To find out more about Coral Homes visit our Display Village website.

Our sales office and 35 home Display Village are open every day from 10am-5pm. Come and see why we’re one of the northside’s fastest growing communities. North Harbour is now home to over 100 families and our community expands every week. Our residents have access to Australia’s Fastest Broadband through our fibre optic network, natural gas for efficient cooking and heating and a great community hub at the Village Park. We also enjoy providing awesome events and giving our residents the opportunity to have a catch up with neighbours and friends.

And finally…Congratulations and thank you to the North Harbour team! North Harbour was one of only four finalists in the Residential Subdivision category of the 2016 UDIA Queensland Awards for Excellence. (The UDIA is the Urban Development Institute of Australia). Not bad for our first year as a residential development – thank you to everyone who has worked hard to make this such a great place to live including our team, Display Village builders, tradespeople and residents. As the UDIA noted: “Being a finalist is an incredible achievement.  It’s a podium finish in a race that included record numbers of entrants this year. So you and your team should be very, very proud.”

We are! Thanks
