Developer-builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dasco-australia">DASCO</a> has pushed beyond the now-standard inclusions of rooftop pools and landscaped podiums at its recently launched new Epping project, Senso.

It has laid out over 4,000 sqm of resident-only amenity in a move designed to compete directly with low-density housing on livability, not just density. The result is a development that supports genuine daily use through purposeful spaces distributed across its five-building, 479-apartment precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4396]

Two rooftop pools form the anchor of Senso. One is a 27-metre lap pool adjoining a heated spa, designed for everyday fitness rather than just summer leisure. The second sits on a lower podium, allowing different buildings to share in vertical access and reducing crowding during peak times.

It is the secondary spaces that start to distinguish Senso from other large-scale suburban projects. A rooftop cinema is integrated into a landscaped terrace, offering open-air screenings with natural ventilation and passive cooling.&nbsp;

The inclusion of a “sensory walk”, an elevated boardwalk that threads through the site, suggests a rare investment in non-commercial, non-essential amenity: space for quiet movement that doesn’t double as access or traffic circulation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4402]

The gym and wellness centre, often relegated to a small ground-floor room in many builds, takes on more substance here. Residents have access to a fully equipped gym, as well as outdoor yoga areas and meditative zones that integrate greenery and natural light.&nbsp;

The Club Lounge is similarly designed to support multiple use cases, with a private dining terrace, kitchenette, workspace, and lockable wine storage. These aren’t superficial additions; their scale and spatial allocation indicate serious intent for frequent resident use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4391]

Importantly, Senso’s amenities are embedded within a site that spans more than 10,000 sqm, allowing for better separation between spaces and reduced noise spillover, a critical but often overlooked factor in high-density developments. This spatial generosity also enables multiple alfresco kitchens and communal terraces without compromising individual privacy or usable space.

While many developments make claims about lifestyle, few back it with this level of built infrastructure. Senso’s mix of dedicated fitness, wellness, social and passive green spaces suggests a conscious response to the post-pandemic shift in housing expectations, especially among owner-occupiers.&nbsp;

DASCO is one of several leading developers who have taken out Resilience Insurance's Latent Defects Insurance policy, providing buyers with a 10-year structural and waterproofing warranty, and giving them the ultimate peace of mind.

Senso is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

The outdoor amenities elevating life at Senso, Epping

Following the proposal by the Minns Labor Government to rezone Parramatta Road to create up to 8,000 new homes, prominent developer Ceerose has gone to the NSW Gov to increase the density of its new mixed-use residential building in Leichhardt.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/ceerose">Ceerose</a>, founded by Edward Doueihi nearly three decades ago, has filed plans for 154 apartments above ground-floor retail at 307-315 Parramatta Road, a key corner site near Norton Street, the main high street strip in Leichhardt.

It's an upsize from the previously approved scheme of 63 apartments across a seven-storey building.

<img alt="Ceerose" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ba1ae75b-5f08-43fb-b8d5-3de6d9f6ef71" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2010.31.39%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=yA3hBBLPH4ev7MsAE0_hieXeqiFqBUb7" />

The project is being advanced through the State Significant Development (SSD) pathway, with concurrent rezoning sought to facilitate the proposal. The 10-storey development would rise over a four-level basement and deliver two retail tenancies, one a larger-format offering and the other a smaller “hole in the wall” space, addressing the Parramatta Road frontage. 21 of the apartments are dedicated as affordable housing.

According to the Urban Design Report by Architecture AND, the scheme includes a podium and tower configuration, with a fine-grain, two-storey parapet street wall that references the traditional shopfront rhythm along the corridor. “An elegant tower form is proposed, combined with a characterful two storey frontage... articulating it as two related buildings, providing consistency with the rhythm and grain of Parramatta Road,” the report notes.

The residential component is split across two slender towers set back from the street edge, a design move aimed at preserving solar access and reducing perceived bulk. This massing strategy also seeks to improve residential amenity by focusing scale toward the quieter northern interface, away from Parramatta Road’s noise and pollution.

<img alt="Ceerose" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="347f2f8f-5d36-4388-b40a-2e77380b9c19" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2010.31.02%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=xvyUE2ujT1lzivXTo.mHBJFF4SmfgLtz" />

Architecture AND has worked with Ceerose on previous Inner West projects, and cites a deep familiarity with the local character. Their design draws heavily on context, heritage, and sunlight access considerations, and engages with the Inner West Council’s “Our Fairer Future” strategic planning framework.

The site spans 2,712 sqm and is located near key intersections with Catherine Street, Hay Street, and Redmond Street. It adjoins a public carpark to the north and is within walking distance of Stanmore and Petersham stations. It is also flagged in state and local planning strategies, including the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy, as a suitable candidate for increased density.

Ceerose recently completed The Alex Collective on McEvoy Street in Alexandria, Abbie's Lane in Annandale, and the award-winning Munro House in Elizabeth Bay.

The Parramatta Road corridor is coming to life with the proposed rezoning which is serviced by a significant number of bus, light rail and train routes.

Deicorp is progressing with its $1.8 billion <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> precinct on Parramatta Road in Five Dock, as is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/toga-to-push-on-with-five-dock-mixed-use-masterplan">TOGA further down the street</a>. Those two projects alone will bring nearly 2,000 new homes to Parramatta Road.

North Sydney's landmark 'SBS Building' on Alfred Street is set to be demolished to make way for a new mixed-use residential tower in the booming North Sydney.

Commercial property group FiveX is behind the plans for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/275-alfred-street-north-north-sydney-nsw-2060">39-storey tower</a>, the latest project to advance under the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

They are proposing 184 apartments above retail spaces, which will replace the existing 20-storey commercial building. FiveX was set up more than five decades ago by Joshua and Marko Berger. It is currently led by Joshua's son Lesli.&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: Fivex plans 39-storey residential tower at 275 Alfred Street, North Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2efa0980-53fa-4cca-9f9e-9c3c845d4746" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29%20%281%29_0.png?VersionId=y_YyPMq3NQLfYRs84pP4os9UgWiMLp75" />

According to the Architectural Design Report by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fjc-studio">FJC Studio</a>, the slender tower form has been deliberately designed to respect the site's transitional setting at the southern gateway to the North Sydney CBD, where high-rise towers give way to lower-scale residential precincts.

"The slender tower form and articulated podium establish a respectful relationship with nearby heritage and low rise buildings, including the Whaling Road Heritage Conservation Area,” the architecture firm noted, adding that the tower “completes a missing link in the urban fabric” while enhancing the Alfred Street streetscape.

The proposed building will include a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with 15 percent of the gross residential floor area allocated as affordable housing. There is an agreement already in place that those apartments will be managed by Evolve Housing.

The project aligns with broader state housing objectives, including the National Housing Accord target of delivering 1.2 million new homes by 2029. The Scoping Report filed with the State Significant Development Application (SSDA) suggests the site "presents no impediments to rapid delivery,” with construction able to commence within 12 months of receiving consent.

North Sydney has been one of the most popular suburbs in Sydney for new and off the plan apartment development, but hasn't had the supply to keep up with demand, until recently.

AURA by Aqualand was, for a long time, the only off the plan apartment building on the market. That completed last year, and has sold the majority of its 386 luxury apartments. Recently ALAND launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-walden-173-179-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The Walden</a> on the same street, selling over $100 million within just a few hours of its launch, while developer CASA also launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-mclaren-north-sydney-45-mclaren-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The McLaren</a>&nbsp;in the same precinct.

Kokoda appoints builder for $1.5 billion Teneriffe Banks waterfront precinct

Castle Hill’s booming development market is set for another boost, with builder-developer Buildex proposing a new mid-rise apartment building near Castle Towers.

Buildex has submitted plans to The Hills Shire Council for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/197-old-northern-road-castle-hill-nsw-2154">nine-storey building comprising 57 apartments</a> on Old Northern Road. The company acquired two adjoining sites earlier this year, totalling more than 2,683 sqm.

Texco Design has prepared the scheme, which includes five one-bed plus study apartments, 37 two-bedrooms, and 15 three-bedrooms.

Castle Hill has become a hotspot for developers in recent years, undergoing significant transformation driven by the opening of the Hills Showground Precinct to development and the introduction of two metro stations servicing the suburb.

Developers including Deicorp and Kassis Homes have already completed projects, and are progressing future developments, while Meriton, Arada, and Ellipse are currently delivering new projects in the rapidly evolving area.

A new four lot subdivision of the Shambara farm property, located midway between Benalla and Wangaratta, has come onto the market.
The four lots all with a frontage to the Old Greta Road are respectively – Lot 1 of 68.7 ha, or 170 acres, Lot 2 of 72.8 ha or 180 acres, Lot 3 of 44.5 ha or 110 acres and Lot 4 of 58.6 ha or 145 acres.
The four lots are for private sale through Elders Real Estate’s north east district agent Michael Everard.
The property on the old Greta Road at Lurg is part of the larger Shambara farm property and has been held by the vendor family for over twenty-five years.
Each of the four blocks has some internal division of post and wire fencing.
Most of the lots include paddock or catchment dams, most having been recently cleaned out, while the local average annual rainfall is 700mm with access likely to be available to substantial as yet untested groundwater potential.
Each lot holds a long single frontage to the old Greta Road with good access from the Hume Freeway at the Winton interchange with a bitumen road most of the way to these lots.
Selling agent Michael Everard says that the local district is a prominent rural living area with properties that adjoin these four lots being largely smaller acreage residential holdings with typical sizes of 40 hectares (or say 100 acres).
“There are multiple choices for an attractive home site on each landform with power available to within about 200 metres of the existing road boundary.
“This subdivision which has been created from a long held family farm presents an exceptional opportunity to secure attractive and productive land that is ideally suited to create a preferred rural living retreat,” Mr Everard says.

The heritage-listed One Ton Survey Post - Australia’s largest wooden survey peg - is also located on the property.
Established in 1882, the peg marks the 29th parallel of latitude – the straight section of the Queensland/New South Wales border, from Cameron Corner to the Barwon River.
The second property, Garrawilla &amp; Belmore, is a 2,316ha property, comprising 1,398ha developed to flood irrigation, 362ha of dryland cultivation and an additional 556ha of grazing and support land.
It features on-farm storage capacity, totaling 6,700mL in addition to water allocations of 7,293mL of Barwon Zone Nominal Volume.
The two properties are being offered for sale separately.
CBRE’s Josh Ledingham and Simon Cudmore have been appointed to sell Garrawilla &amp; Belmore via Expressions of Interest.
The pair are also selling Carnarvon, conjunctionally with Moree Real Estate’s Cliff Brown and Paul Kelly, via Expression of Interest.
The properties are each expected to generate buyer interest of around $22 million.

Country music star Troy Cassar-Daley and his 4KQ Brisbane radio presenter wife Laurel Edwards secured $550,000 when they recently sold their Queensland farm getaway, Carinya.
They had re-listed the Vernor property, an hour from their Brisbane base, having failed to find a buyer on its <a href="/news/troy-cassar-daley-and-laurel-edwards-list-vernor-farm">original $680,000 listing mid-last year.</a>
Cassar-Daley has said the farm, which they paid $630,000 for in 2007, has inspired a number of his songs.
He said 'I love this place' was written at the kitchen table.
Cassar-Daley used to love fishing on the river which dissected the property.
Laurel used to ride horses across the four hectares.
The family, now with grown up kids, are set to spend more time on the Sunshine Coast.

The agricultural fund manager Growth Farms has bought the largest farming aggregation on Kangaroo Island from the billionaire media mogul Kerry Stokes.
Stokes and veteran cattleman Peter Murray sold their <a href="https://www.eldersrealestate.com.au/rural/sale/cygnet-park-farms-cassini-sa-5223-17956579/" target="_blank">Cygnet Park</a> Farms aggregation reportedly for about $25 million through Elders.
It was listed in late 2017.
The cattle, sheep and cropping aggregation on the 7,821 hectare Cygnet Park Farms, which Stokes and his long-time business partner had accumulated over the past decade, was being offered on a walk in, walk out basis in one line or in individual allotments
Murray is one of Australia's most experienced cattlemen.
With annual average rainfall ranging between 600-900mm, it was currently running approx 3,000 Angus cows, 2200 weaner calves and 300 yearlings/bulls.
NSW-based Growth Farms is headed by David Sackett who manages assets on behalf of a global network of high net worth individuals, family office and institutional clients.
It was established in 1999 by Angus Taylor and his brother Richard .
It has investments in sheep and cattle, cotton, sugarcane, winter crops with farms totalling more than 100,000 hectares.

During the course of discussions with some corporate purchasing parties, valuation firm Herron Todd White are starting to see a change in the way the market is perceiving what can be achieved in terms of yield.
According to the latest rural report from Herron Todd White, yields are often at five per cent with some even getting to six per cent.
"With the strong increase in underlying land value seen over the past twelve months in particular, there is strong resistance from lessees to adjusting rates to reflect the original yield achieved when the lease was created," the report noted.
"This resistance is coming from the fact that general income from rural commodities, whilst still good, has not improved in line with the underlying land value."
Scott Fuller, a valuer at HTW, suggested the situation is a repeat of the 2006 to 2008 period where we also saw strong growth in underlying value.
"At this time many leases were in the 3.5 per cent to 4.5 per cent range and we would expect that general leasing rates will soften to four per cent to 4.5 per cent."
"The volume of capital looking to deploy in agriculture in Australia continues to be a surprise and this deployment is seeing unsolicited offers for large scale rural properties made on a regular basis. Whilst previously we have indicated that we felt that the market was at or near its current peak for this cycle, I am beginning to wonder whether this cycle may have some further development to go."
"Whilst there are some short term negative seasonal conditions, our experience is that the underlying market sentiment is still very positive and this coupled with record low interest rates and generally positive returns for livestock may just see some continued upward pressure on the market, particularly if we see any sort of rain event in the next month or so," he concluded.
In the Riverina area there was a big sale in the form of Delta which is 55 kilometres north-west of Jerilderie and 50 kilometres north-east of Conargo.
It was a 8,381 hectare mixed irrigated and grazing property. The sale included approximately 550 hectares of laser levelled flood irrigation with a balance consisting of mostly open to lightly timbered good grazing country. The property was well improved with homestead, manager’s residence, workers’ cottages, machinery sheds and wool shed.
The property sold for $10.025 million. It appears that the open-hay plains grazing country has sold for $975 per hectare ex buildings. This indicates $780 per DSE when viewing the grazing country in isolation.
"This is uncharted territory for the Riverina and indicative of the strength of the current market," HTW said.

Ray White Mildura has secured almost $19 million in two recent farm sales in the lush region that supplies more than 80 per cent of Victoria's grapes.
One of the largest sales in recent times in Sunraysia was recently finalised by Mark Thornton of Ray White Mildura when he sold <a id="m_-554013802951475589LPlnk789717" href="http://icm-tracking.meltwater.com/link.php?DynEngagement=true&amp;H=eD76f58HlUnRmzbPZf5yw%2B7LSgBzaQg0S1071ajiM0VK9rmBWpxqVAa0HUCW44V1L3lNOXIaPO3qAopSlw0h5F2vWCm8rZjDpHJFmQMOTjNcy6DIp06diQKaB01GQEoXV6CGTENW8WA%3D&amp;G=0&amp;R=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.realestate.com.au%2Fsold%2Fproperty-horticulture-nsw-trentham%2Bcliffs-7968210&amp;I=20180724040133.000000003449%40mail6-96-usnbn1&amp;X=MHwxMDQ2NzU4OjViNTY4M2EwYmE2ZDI2ZmQ2MTU1YTRkZjs%3D&amp;S=hf74gbQDxkS4f6D9ZutBLBw2bDkv3NxpiLmisaTEFSo" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=http://icm-tracking.meltwater.com/link.php?DynEngagement%3Dtrue%26H%3DeD76f58HlUnRmzbPZf5yw%252B7LSgBzaQg0S1071ajiM0VK9rmBWpxqVAa0HUCW44V1L3lNOXIaPO3qAopSlw0h5F2vWCm8rZjDpHJFmQMOTjNcy6DIp06diQKaB01GQEoXV6CGTENW8WA%253D%26G%3D0%26R%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.realestate.com.au%252Fsold%252Fproperty-horticulture-nsw-trentham%252Bcliffs-7968210%26I%3D20180724040133.000000003449%2540mail6-96-usnbn1%26X%3DMHwxMDQ2NzU4OjViNTY4M2EwYmE2ZDI2ZmQ2MTU1YTRkZjs%253D%26S%3Dhf74gbQDxkS4f6D9ZutBLBw2bDkv3NxpiLmisaTEFSo&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1532491859254000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGd6ZQ6Cgv7xO1RXhzhwrtzdj2wrA">88 Alfred Elms Rd, Trentham Cliffs</a>.
The buyers were a local winery expanding their operations. Mr Thornton said the landscape was changing in the Sunraysia horticulture region.
"Interest in the property came from many diverse industries and companies not just locally but also nationally and internationally.
"There are many large international corporations that have Sunraysia under their microscope as a place they want to invest in and that is very exciting for our region,” he said.

Mildura farm sells to local winery

The long-held Kumbada farm at Jindivick has been sold by the Carnegie brothers after 72 years before its scheduled auction on December 8.
The sale price was not disclosed but is believed to be around $4 million.
The property spans 228.5 hectares and is one of the largest farm holdings in the district. It is located just to the north of the Princes Highway-Jindivick Road junction and close to the Drouin-Warragul area.
The selling agent was Rodwells Ruralco Property’s Damien Minogue.
A local beef cattle farmer is the new owner and has plans for a 300 cow-and-calf operation.
Originally purchased by the Carnegie brothers’ parents as a small dairy operation the acquisition of neighbouring holdings over the years created the sequence of long ownership and now presents the property in four titles.
“The Carnegie family dairy-farmed for many years but more recently Peter and John Carnegie converted it to livestock grazing with recent light stocking,” said Minogue.
“Over the years the Carnegie brothers have topped the Korumburra and more recently Leongatha markets many times with bullocks and vealers with their top quality grass-fed animals”.
The property has an eleven paddock subdivision.
“The improvements comprise the original three-bedroom homestead, plus a manager’s cottage plus another old cottage in need of renovation,” he said.
There are a number of support buildings including machinery sheds, an old dairy and the property has sealed road access.
“Good stock water resources are another feature with a creek frontage and a number of spring fed dams while this property is in a 900 mm annual average rainfall area”.
“I always considered it would be something of a signature sale as no comparable scale property has been offered in this area, nor will one probably be seen again and it is great to see it purchased by a local farming interest.

Jindivick's Kumbada farm sells before auction

Hassad Australia has announced the sale of 18,000 hectare in three large aggregations — Raby Station in NSW, and Glendale and Ungarra aggregations in South Australia.
Fifteen family operators will be acquiring individual parcels of land from all three aggregations.
Landmark Harcourts agent Phil Rourke, <a href="https://hassad.com.au/raby-stud-nsw/" target="_blank">who sold historic Raby at Warren</a>, confirmed it sold to a consortium of local buyers, who would integrate parts of the 9,782 hectare property into their existing operations.
Hassad Australia also sold a dry land cropping aggregation spanning more than 3,000 hectares in South Australia’s mid-north for $16.2 million. 
Located 29 kilometres north-east of Clare, the Glendale Aggregation is suited to growing wheat, barley, canola, lentils and legumes, as well as grazing livestock. 
CBRE Agribusiness’ Danny Thomas and Phil Schell negotiated the sale of Glendale Aggregation, comprising 12 semi-contiguous landholdings totalling 3,263 hectares. 
The sale was one of three properties divested by Hassad Australia – the others being Raby in New South Wales and the Ungarra Aggregation in South Australia.
The sales also follow the earlier transaction of properties in Victoria and Queensland.
The divestments are in preparation for the next phase of the company’s investment strategy that will see further investment in lamb and grain marketing. 
The Glendale Aggregation sold to a number of local adjoining and nearby farmers in South Australia’s mid-north farming region.
