10 Reasons Your Next Home Should be a House and Land Package at North Harbour

What’s a House and Land Package?

A “house and land package” is when the developer (North Harbour) who is selling land, asks a builder to provide an example of one of their designs which would fit on a particular block which adheres to covenant and building regulations i.e. space either side of the front of the house and so on. The developer and builder then package the house design and the land together into a House and Land Package.

The aim of these house and land packages is to give buyers a clear idea of what is achievable with certain blocks and particular house designs. Our usual recommendation to new visitors to North Harbour is to first choose the type of house you would like and then return to the Sales and Information Centre to discuss available land for sale which will work with your choice of design. As we already know that house and land packages supplied by our builder partners work with our covenants and building requirements, choosing a house and land package can streamline and simplify this process, particularly if you are a first home buyer or have bought before but are now looking to build for the first time.

House and land packages

House packages come with a variety of inclusions from basic requirements up to marble benchtops and top of the range cookers. Each builder offers a range of different packages to suit a range of needs and budgets. To find out more about living at North Harbour click here to see our available house and land packages.

 

Why Buy at North Harbour?

1 – 1000 Acres of Open Space and Parks: We differ from similarly sized southeast Queensland developments in that on completion we will offer a huge 1000 acres of open space and parklands (even larger than Central Park in New York) including environmental corridors, river access and a unique $3m Heritage Park with fishing platforms and canoe launches (currently under construction). This 1000 acres will include walking and bike tracks, lots of trees (over 60,000 have already been planted) and plenty of play equipment for young and older kids, BBQs, artworks and picnic areas as well as exercise equipment. By the end of 2019 we will have five parks open, including the Heritage Park.

The Heritage Park which will showcase this area is currently in the final stages of construction and will open at the end of this year opening this unique area up to the public.

Why Burpengary East is one of the Best Suburbs for Property Investment

Best Suburbs for Property Investment

Laura Valenti, Managing Director of Solutions Property Management, has worked with many investors and we asked her to tell us where one of the best suburbs for property investment is near Brisbane. Her answer was simple: Burpengary East!

Best Suburbs for Property Investment

“With positive growth in population and price, everyone knows that the Moreton Bay region is the hot investment tip for 2019.

Positioned in the bustling suburb of Burpengary East (emerging as the ‘gateway’ to the Sunshine Coast), North Harbour is attracting a lot of interest among investors, and here’s why:

  1. Return on Investment

Compared to the surrounding suburbs of Morayfield and Narangba, Burpengary East seems to fall in that ‘sweet spot’ of affordability yet with a good rental return.

  1. Long-Term Capital growth

The prospect of the marina development has attracted many astute investors who can see the value in buying now to reap rewards in the future. (The marina is subject to Government approvals – to see the latest news on this click here.)

  1. Community Feel

Investing in North Harbour is not just purchasing house and land like most estates – it’s buying into a strong community with facilities that will make any suburb green with envy. Centred around active community and family lifestyle, North Harbour offers the largest area (1000 acres) devoted to open space and parklands of any development within the northern corridor and is abuzz with weekend activities such as Park Run, Sunrise Yoga, and the exciting new ‘Bite’ food markets. Why is this so important to investors? They understand that community living entices tenants and makes them want to stay long-term – reducing tenant turnover and vacancy periods, which can eat into your return on investment.

Laura Valenti

I have watched North Harbour grow from a few stakes in the ground to an impressive award-winning development in a few short years. I’m looking forward to the next stages of development including the Heritage Park which will open up river access to the community.

Investing in North Harbour

North Harbour Sales Manager Aidan Winter explains the key points of difference that make North Harbour a wise investment.

“North Harbour was named Best Residential Subdivision in Queensland, in the 2018 Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Qld Awards for Excellence. The UDIA’s Judges said North Harbour showed excellence in a number of categories, including planning, community, sustainability, urban design and engineering and had distinguishing features such as our future 1000 acres of open space and parklands (which include our upcoming Heritage Park) that stood out for them.

North Harbour has introduced a new lifestyle destination into the Moreton Bay Region and offers a unique residential development in the rapidly expanding northern corridor between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. The development offers numerous benefits for residents looking to invest in property including the previously mentioned 1,000 acres of open space and parklands (two parks are complete with another three scheduled to be this year), high speed fibre optic broadband and natural, reticulated gas to every home.

The proposed 1,000 acres of open space and parklands include walking and bike tracks, Raff Creek eco-corridor, lots of trees (over 60,000 have already been planted) and plenty of play equipment for young and older kids as well as exercise equipment. All homes in North Harbour will be within 325m of open space and/ or parklands.

Best Suburbs for Property Investment

A big point of difference to other projects of this type is our genuine investment cap of 30%, this makes finding a tenant much easier (less competition).

A lot of the investors that we speak with appreciate that their investment will benefit from what is planned at North Harbour, and in the local area such as more schools, improved infrastructure and increased recreation as well as local employment opportunities.”
