'Quick Update' from Havenbrook
With our development application lodged with council, we’re working on the finer details like signage, access points, and block marking. The land is looking greener than ever, and the dams are full - it’s the kind of space that makes you exhale when you arrive.
Preparing for Acreage Life at Havenbrook
Flat, On-Ground Homes Work Best
Many Havenbrook blocks are suited to flat, on-slab homes that flow straight out onto open lawns or gardens. These designs are ideal for families, retirees, and anyone wanting to make the most of indoor-outdoor living with fewer stairs and easy access.

Imagine a Backyard Without Neighbours Behind You.
No peering over the fence. No echo of someone else’s weekend. Just open space, natural views, and the peace of knowing your back fence opens to trees—not townhouses..
Havenbrook "Behind the Scenes"
Do the blocks at Havenbrook flood?
No - Havenbrook is high and dry. The estate has been carefully planned on elevated, flood-free land, offering peace of mind that’s becoming harder to find in the region. While other parts of Woodford can be prone to flooding, Havenbrook remains safe and secure during heavy rains.

A Country Town with Heart
Woodford still has that friendly, small-town feel where people wave as they pass, and shopkeepers know your name. It’s a place where community matters and life moves at a gentler pace—without sacrificing convenience.

Pre-Release Coming Soon
We’re getting close! Subject to Council approval, we’re preparing for the first stage of pre-release sales. As soon as approval lands, we’ll contact everyone who’s submitted an Expression of Interest to book a viewing and reserve their preferred block.

Preparing for Acreage Life at Havenbrook
Understand the Build Timeline
If you’re planning to build at Havenbrook, it’s essential to understand the timeline from choosing a builder to getting council approvals and finally starting construction. Planning early gives you time to make decisions without pressure and reduces stress as the build progresses.
Life at Havenbrook
Want a Pony? No Problem.
Want a horse, chooks or even a goat, llama or camel? At Havenbrook, you’re free to create your version of the good life. With generous acreage and flexible living, your hobby farm dreams don’t have to wait for retirement.
Havenbrook "Behind the Scenes"
Will there be any covenants or design guidelines?
Yes, there will be a basic covenant in place - but nothing restrictive or overbearing.
At Havenbrook, we believe in flexibility and freedom to build a home that suits your lifestyle. The covenant is designed to protect the quality and value of the neighbourhood, but it won’t dictate your house size, style, or design choices beyond standard council and building regulations.
There’s no time limit to start building - so whether you’re ready to build now or planning to hold your block for the long term, the choice is entirely yours.
Life around Woodford
The Famous Woodford Folk Festival
Each year, the town comes alive with the iconic Woodford Folk Festival, drawing thousands for six days of music, arts, culture, and community. It’s not just a festival—it’s an experience, and it’s right on your doorstep at Havenbrook.

Awaiting Final Approval
Our team is in the (hopefully) final back-and-forth stage with Council as we work through the last of the operational planning requirements. Once the Development Application Approval is formally granted, we’ll be able to confirm block sizes, layouts, and key estate features.

Getting Your Current Home Sale-Ready
Before making the move to Havenbrook, you might want to start preparing your existing home for sale. Decluttering, minor repairs, a fresh coat of paint, and neat gardens can all boost your selling price and help create a smooth transition when your dream block becomes available.

Why Bigger Blocks Make a Bigger Difference
More room to breathe, more space to grow, and no squeezing your dreams into a suburban footprint. Whether it’s a big shed, veggie garden, or just not hearing your neighbour’s TV—space makes all the difference.
Havenbrook "Behind the Scenes"
What size will the blocks be at Havenbrook?
Block sizes will range from approximately 5,000m² to over 8,000m², giving you plenty of room to spread out, build your dream home, and enjoy space and privacy. Some blocks also feature tree-lined boundaries or back onto bushland.
