Olio, Officer - Corner of Bridge Road and Coxon Street, Officer

Olio, Officer

Searching for your first home can often be a lengthy process — but not for Melburnian James Rothwell, who wasn’t even actively looking when he stumbled across the sales office for <a href="/new-townhouses/olio-officer-corner-of-bridge-road-and-coxon-street-officer-vic-3809">Olio Officer</a>, a new masterplanned community by <a href="/developers/development-victoria">Development Victoria</a> in Melbourne’s South East Growth Corridor.

“There wasn’t really much of a thought process,” James recalled. “I just happened to walk past the display office on my way home from work one day.”

He said he wasn’t armed with a checklist or detailed questions — his curiosity was simply piqued by the location, close to where he grew up.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84641 project_image_fid=161917]

“I wasn’t going in with a checklist. It wasn’t even a fact-finding mission. I was probably one of the least likely people to walk in and end up buying. But once I learned more about Olio, it all just started to make sense.”

James ended up purchasing a three-bedroom home early in the first stage of the development, well before construction was complete.

“I’ve always preferred new builds over older homes,” he said, adding that the financial structure of buying off the plan suited his situation and steady income.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84641 project_image_fid=161916]

Once he decided he wanted to buy near his family home, James broadened his search and visited other masterplanned communities in the area.

However, it was the credibility of the Development Victoria brand that ultimately won him over.

“Knowing that Development Victoria was behind the project gave me a lot of confidence. It’s not just a one-off developer — they stand behind what they build and can’t disappear if something goes wrong.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84641 project_image_fid=211732]

The location was another key factor. James works in Mulgrave, and the connectivity of <a href="/developments/officer-vic-3809">Officer</a> made the commute easy.

“It’s a straight drive down the Monash, or I can jump on a train at Officer Station — which is right across the road — and be in the city.”

James bought in 2021, when interest rates were at historic lows. While rates have since increased, he said buying off the plan gave him time to save during the construction period, making the transition manageable when it came time to settle.

“It was a chance encounter, but I’m glad I walked into the sales office that day. The home works perfectly for my lifestyle,” he said.

Development Victoria is currently delivering Stage Two of Olio. Over 90 homes were completed in Stage One, which also includes a central neighbourhood park. Homes in Stage Two are now selling, with prices starting from under $500,000.

<a href="/developers/development-victoria">Development Victoria</a> is offering a range of affordable and sustainable townhouses at its Officer community, <a href="/new-townhouses/corner-of-bridge-road-and-coxon-street-officer">Olio</a>.

As the development arm of the Victorian Government, Development Victoria is creating an entirely new community in the heart of Melbourne’s South East Growth Corridor— a community that incorporates all the essential elements of modern living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84641 project_image_fid=211733]

The developer has already completed the first stage of Olio, which includes over 90 homes and a brand-new park. The second stage, like the first, will be delivered by the reputable townhouse builder Sienna Homes and offers a range of two, three, and four-bedroom townhouses, priced from $485,000 to $642,500—much more competitively priced than new developments in neighboring areas.

These all-electric townhouses are designed with a strong emphasis on sustainability, featuring a 3kW solar PV system and double-glazed windows, ensuring a minimum 7-star NatHERS energy rating.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84641 project_image_fid=211739]

The double-storey designs prioritize open-plan and flexible living, with a range of floorplans available.

The community is already thriving, with a diverse mix of first home buyers, young families, and downsizers calling Olio home.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84641 project_image_fid=211734]

Development Victoria also contributed to the revitalization of Gum Scrub Creek, allowing Olio residents to connect to the waterway, now bordered by public open spaces. The second stage of Olio will add around 135 more townhouses.

The strategic location of Olio, on the corner of Bridge Road and Coxon Street, places residents directly across from Officer Station, offering a direct train into Melbourne in just under an hour. Olio is also within walking distance of the future Officer Town Centre, which will bring more commercial and retail offerings, including a supermarket, specialty shops, and services, to the area.

Officer already boasts One Centre Square, a small commercial precinct with several restaurants, a gym, a grocer, and the One Centre Square Medical Hub, all located just minutes from Olio.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84641 project_image_fid=211735]

Given the population growth forecast for the area, development in <a href="/developments/officer-vic-3809">Officer</a> is a priority. The population of Officer, which was 14,708 at the 2021 census, is expected to more than double by 2031, reaching over 34,000 in the next six years.

Development Victoria is a government agency partnering with industry and communities to create sustainable, liveable places for people.

They unlock underutilised land to deliver housing across Victoria, from house and land communities in Officer and Springvale, to mixed-use precincts in Fitzroy and Kew.
