Sydney developer Deicorp is set to officially open its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hills-showground-village-castle-hill-2-mandala-parade-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Showground Village</a> precinct in Castle Hill.

NSW Premier Chris Minns will attend the opening on Sunday August 31, alongside&nbsp;Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully, The Hills Shire Council Mayor Dr Michelle Byrne, Landcom CEO Alex Wendler, and Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri.

Located just moments from Hills Showground Metro Station, the centre spans 9,500 sqm across four levels and features 26 specialty retailers as well as a 1,400 sqm public plaza, creating a new community meeting point for shopping, dining, fitness, and everyday convenience.&nbsp;

Showground Village forms part of the Hills Showground Station Precinct, an urban renewal initiative led by Landcom and Sydney Metro that will provide for around 2,300 new jobs over the next 20 years and around 9,000 new homes.&nbsp;

Deicorp was recently approved for another new development next door to Showground Village.

The new five residential buildings in the East Showgrounds Precinct, will see another 873 dwellings delivered, as well as&nbsp;3,500 sqm of open public space in the form of landscaped courtyards, a public park and communal outdoor recreational space including a playground, barbeque area, and outdoor seating.

“This approval will allow us to start construction on a range of beautifully designed, conveniently located apartments and create another vibrant, walkable and well-connected community,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp" target="">Deicorp</a>&nbsp;Founder Fouad Deiri.

“These new homes will provide their residents with a seamless connection to jobs and services along Metro North West, and the new&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hills-showground-village-castle-hill-2-mandala-parade-castle-hill" target="">Hills Showground Village</a>&nbsp;retail precinct currently under construction."

Deicorp has several thousand apartments in planning and under construction across Sydney, from Zetland and Five Dock to Crows Nest and Macquarie Park.

ASX-listed developer Cedar Woods is progressing its plans for its Southbank arts precinct site.&nbsp;

The developer has filed plans, which are now with the&nbsp;Department of Transport and Planning, for a new 20-level tower at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/141-151-sturt-street-southbank-vic-3006">141–151 Sturt Street</a>, a 2,718 sqm block opposite the Habitat Filter sculpture.

The proposal seeks to demolish the two-level&nbsp;commercial building, including a small supermarket and medical tenancies, and create a new building with 180 apartments and a focus on an&nbsp;active public realm and arts integration.

&nbsp;

<img alt="Southbank site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="76a72db6-91ef-43ae-827d-a9cfa72893d2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Site.png?VersionId=DZgtB4K6BswVh0QtCs3iLjXaLp0CbcEb" />

&nbsp;

There will be a full mix of apartment configurations, including 28 studio apartments, 16 one-bedroom, 104 two-bedroom, and 32 three-bedroom units.

Retail, creative arts, and residential amenity functions are integrated across the lower levels. A food and drink tenancy is planned to front Dodds Street, while a retail tenancy fronting Sturt Street will be accessed via an elevated walkway. The first floor includes a substantial 734 sqm creative arts space, envisioned to support Melbourne’s growing cultural and digital industries.

Architecture firm <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has put together the plans. In their&nbsp;Urban Design Report they highlighted the project’s ambition to embed itself within Southbank’s evolving cultural fabric.

A central feature of the design is a through-block link connecting Sturt and Dodds Streets, landscaped with native plantings and embedded with universal access ramps.

“The ramp has been thoughtfully integrated as the primary access point, ensuring universal accessibility for all users,” the report noted, with the link offering “a direct response to the urban planning scheme of creating more green spaces within our communities”.

<img alt="Southbank podium" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4d24b1b2-d69c-4a11-a11d-ec6df432221c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/podium.png?VersionId=geWoJyZDmPSLODZ_.PNJ0LvpOmyyCdpo" />

The building’s podium form responds to the mandatory height limits along Dodds Street and maintains a fine-grain interface to adjoining developments. Above the podium, the tower is articulated with recessed balconies and a focus on views toward the CBD and surrounding arts institutions. A communal rooftop recreation deck and indoor lounge are positioned on level four, adjoining seven apartments and providing over 900 sqm of resident amenity space.

Vehicle access and loading will be provided via Dodds Street, with 155 resident car spaces located across two basement levels and the first three above-ground floors. Bicycle storage is more generous, with 226 spaces distributed across resident, staff and visitor needs.

Rothelowman describes the architecture as “humanist,” with ground-level interfaces designed to encourage social interaction and provide a dignified entry for both residents and passers-by. “All street interfaces are crafted to invite and nurture human connections,” the design report states. “The façade transitions to a human scale, providing an approachable and engaging streetscape”.

Cedar Woods, while well-known for its large communities it develops outside of Australia's capital cities, they have recently developed in Melbourne's inner-ring before. They are approaching completion at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/88-leveson-north-melbourne-88-leveson-street-north-melbourne-vic-3051">88 Leveson</a>, just 15 townhouses in the heart of North Melbourne.

Cedar Woods progresses with new apartment plans in Southbank arts precinct

Brisbane developers Core Property Partners and Vector Property Australia has teamed up for Brisbane's newest apartment development.

The duo identified <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/east-brisbane-qld-4169">East Brisbane</a> as their preferred suburb, on the fringe of the Gabba Precinct, where they've just revealed BANKSII, 72 apartments opposite Raymond Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5481]

The one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will sit in a glass-wrapped building that will also feature a rooftop with an&nbsp;infinity-edge pool, a BBQ area and alfresco dining spaces, sun lounges, and a sauna, as well as a resident-only gym and a ground-floor cafe.

Rhett Williams, Director of Vector Property Australia, said the project will lift the quality of the East Brisbane community and set a new benchmark.

"In Brisbane’s current property landscape, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/banksii-east-brisbane-169-wellington-road-east-brisbane-qld-4169">BANKSII</a> stands out through its emphasis on lifestyle-oriented living, connectivity and sophisticated design," Williams says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5479]

The 10-level building has been designed by MAS Architecture. Their designs were inspired by the native Banksia flower, with the architecture and interiors reflecting the organic symmetry of its namesake flora. MAS has interpreted this throughout the building’s curved form, façade detailing and interior palette.&nbsp;

The building’s flowing geometry and natural tones are complemented by large balconies and floor-to-ceiling glazing, maximising cross-breezes, daylight and views over the city, parklands and river.

“Having a strong narrative for a building helps us architecturally,” MAS noted. "We can choose colours that come off that species of flowers. The trunk and the trees and the flower elements all are now visible in our joinery on the inside and in our architectural finishes on the outside."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5485]

Apartments will feature timber floors, soft porcelain tiles, brushed bronze fittings, and stone benchtops with warm veining.&nbsp;

Kitchens feature premium SMEG appliances and generous storage, while bathrooms have been designed as calming retreats with curved cabinetry and twin sinks in the master ensuites.

The building will feature a suite of rooftop and wellness amenities. Residents will have access to an infinity-edge pool, BBQ and alfresco dining areas, sun lounges and a rooftop sauna.&nbsp;

A residents-only gym will be located on the podium level, while a ground-floor café and landscaped laneway will further activate the site and improve neighbourhood connectivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5488]

BANKSII will rise from a prime Wellington Road site, with the building oriented to overlook the adjacent Raymond Park and take in extensive city views. It is also on the doorstep of key&nbsp;lifestyle infrastructure, including the future Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, The Gabba stadium, and the planned Brisbane Live arena.&nbsp;

Public transport options, including ferry, bus and rail - including the future Cross River Rail Woolloongabba station - are all nearby, supporting a car-optional lifestyle just minutes from the CBD.

Williams said the team spent over a year searching for the ideal site before securing this location.

"We were attracted to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/east-brisbane-qld-4169">East Brisbane</a> as it is a vibrant and growing community that offers a perfect balance of urban convenience and natural beauty with the parklands and river on our doorstep.”

The project is part of the broader Woolloongabba Games precinct, which is undergoing significant investment in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. This urban renewal, coupled with infrastructure upgrades, is expected to enhance long-term liveability and capital growth in the area.

Given the wide max of configurations, BANKSII is expected to suit everyone from first home buyers and investors to families and downsizers.

BANKSII sales launch in booming East Brisbane apartment market

The Minns Labor Government will deliver Sydney’s first new heavy rail station in more than a decade – enabling up to 10,000 new homes by rezoning land around Woollahra and Edgecliff stations, right next to the CBD, to tackle the housing crisis and rebalance growth across the city.

Recent reports by the NSW Productivity Commission have warned that Sydney is losing twice as many young people as it is gaining, while also finding that Woollahra is the most feasible Local Government Area (LGA) in New South Wales to build new housing.

Despite this, housing approvals in Woollahra consistently lag well behind other LGAs, and the population has declined by 11 per cent over the past 50 years while Greater Sydney as a whole has grown by 74 per cent.

The new station that will be an eight-minute trip from Sydney CBD, will be located on the Eastern Suburbs train line in Woollahra, where a station build was started in the 1970s but never completed.

To enable the delivery of new homes the NSW Government will lead a rezoning of Woollahra and Edgecliff stations similar to other state led rezonings to allow additional homes to be built around the stations.

Affordable housing will also make up a proportion of development on the site with the final amount of affordable housing required, to be determined as part of the rezoning process.

The area surrounding the new station is within walking distance of major green and recreational space including Cooper, Trumper, Rushcutters Bay and Centennial Parks.

The Eastern Suburbs train line between Bondi Junction and Sydney CBD also has the lowest passenger usage rates during the AM peak of any line on the Sydney network, with only 43 per cent of operating capacity during the AM peak currently being utilised by passengers.

Sydney Water and Infrastructure NSW have confirmed there is capacity in the water and wastewater systems to accommodate the proposed 10,000 dwellings without major upgrades.

The rezoning is expected to take around two years and will further support the Government’s housing targets that rebalance the delivery of new homes around existing infrastructure.

Fresh off completing its mixed-use Malvern project Malvern Collective, Kokoda Property Group has acquired a prime site on Richmond's Bridge Road.

They are planning a mid-rise residential development with&nbsp;integrated wellness amenities and a vibrant ground-floor retail and dining offering.

The site, at&nbsp;487–495 Bridge Road, spans&nbsp;1,650 sqm with 50 metres of dual frontage across Bridge Road and Palmer Street. It is currently leased to Adairs, and has a large retail building and 20 onsite car parks.
</section>

<section data-element_type="section" data-id="534a164">
Kokoda Property Group’s acquisition forms part of a broader phase of growth in Melbourne, building on momentum from the completion of Malvern Collective and the recent purchase of a Burnley Street site for the developer’s first commercial project.&nbsp;

Mark Stevens, Kokoda Property Group’s Founder and Managing Director, said that the company’s Bridge Road site acquisition signals confidence in a city that is re-accelerating.

“Melbourne is regaining momentum,"&nbsp;Stevens said.

"After a cautious period post-COVID, we’re seeing buyer sentiment stabilise and capital leaning back into well-located, quality projects. Victoria now benefits from deep builder capacity and competitive delivery pricing, creating a rare opportunity to bring design-led inner-city developments to market without compromising on craftsmanship.

“Richmond ticks all the boxes for us – connectivity, culture and everyday amenity – making Bridge Road the perfect address for an amenity-rich, multi-use development."

<img alt="Kokoda" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9a8de51d-8092-480a-8b7e-e081816692c2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-08-29%20at%208.54.27%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VRHpV5.6beOu2cieKHWrw3ErMPuVOAuj" />

Envisioned as an “urban lantern” the building will bring a distinctive new presence to Bridge Road with a sculptural retail frontage, designed to honour the street’s heritage character while contributing to its renewal.

Stevens said the acquisition reflects the developer’s commitment to design-led addresses in Melbourne’s inner city.

“Drawing on Richmond’s rich heritage and dynamic character, we’ve envisioned a contemporary building that respects the past while elevating the way people live today. With dual frontages, curated ground-floor spaces, and a focus on wellness, this project will contribute to the neighbourhood’s evolution, appealing to both downsizers and a new generation of professionals.”

Kokoda Property will now progress concept design ahead of a future planning process.

The retired NRL legend Greg Inglis continues to shuffle his property portfolio, after selling out of Sydney.
The former South Sydney Rabbitoh has just bought a Queensland duplex in partnership with his estranged wife, Sally Robinson.
Robinson, who separated from Inglis last year, moved back to Queensland with their two young children.
They have paid $920,000 for a resort-style home nearby in Shorncliffe, a coastal suburb northeast of Brisbane. The recently renovated, decade-old two-storey home has six bedrooms. Both levels of the home have three bedrooms.
There’s also a saltwater swimming pool at the new buy.
The purchase has prompted the listing of Inglis’s long-time Bargara apartment in the Bundaberg region.
Inglis, who returned to Rabbitohs training this week for the first time since checking in to rehab, is set to make a loss on the apartment that he bought brand new.
He paid $590,000 in 2008, shortly after the Global Financial Crisis hit.
Prices haven’t recovered in the Queensland coastal region and Inglis is asking $475,000 for the two-bedroom ocean-facing apartment in the Manta apartment complex.
He is offering it fully furnished through Coastline Realty agent Emma Bauer.
It comes as Inglis, who has been a Little Bay-based renter, recently offloaded his former Coogee home for $2,475,000 through McGrath agent Marnie Seinor.
Inglis had bought the Coogee semi after his move from Melbourne at the end of 2010.
He paid $1.1 million for what was then a two-bedroom federation home and then transformed the property into a three-level, four-bedroom home, behind its period facade.
The Kempsey-born star retired from rugby league earlier this year.
He was first signed with the Canberra Raiders at 15, but didn’t play a game before moving to Brisbane and playing for Melbourne Storm’s feeder club before being added to the Storm’s playing roster in 2004.

Manly Sea Eagle Martin Taupau and new fiancee, NRL's indigenous engagement manager Michelle Baillie, have secured what they described as one of their 'forever homes'.
Taupau posted a boomerang video to his Instagram followers of the couple jumping for joy in front of the sold sign.
It was accompanied with the caption '#TEAMKAPOW just bought the first of our forever homes!'
The post was followed a day later by a picture of a wedding ring.
They've paid $1,435,000 for a three level home in the Eastern Suburbs.
The Botany home spans three levels and has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Two of the bedrooms open to their own balcony.
The open plan kitchen and dining room overlook the courtyard set amid established trees on its 265 square metre parcel.
The home doubled in price before its recent sales through NG Farah Little Bay agent David Lee, who sold the home in 55 days.
Taupau, a New Zealand international, has been with the Sea Eagles since he left the troubled Tigers in 2016.
The prop's four-year deal with Manly was leaked on Twitter by a Canadian arts writer who was sent the details by mistake.
Having moved to Sydney from Auckland when he was 10, Taupau began his career at the Bulldogs but couldn't hammer down a first team place over his three year stint.
He joined the Tigers for the 2014 season and played in every game that season, a season which was crowned by winning the 2014 Rugby League Four Nations with the Kiwis.
Last year he enrolled in a bachelor of business degree.

West Tigers star David Nofoaluma has settled on a family home in Sydney's west.
The Newcastle-born utility has bought a home in the master planned Stockland community Willowdale estate at Denham Court.
He's paid $860,000 for the four bedroom home with a landscaped front and rear garden on its 400 square metres parcel.
Last year he paid $525,000 for a building block in the Gregory Hills estate with his interior designer fiancee Christine Assoni, who he recently proposed to.
That's set to be a project for the happy couple, having recently submitted plans to subdivide the 535 square metres parcel and build two double storey dwellings.
Nofoaluma is no stranger to the area, having grown up playing his junior football for the Campbelltown Warriors and Campbelltown Collegians before being signed by the West Tigers in 2010.
He re-signed with the Tigers in 2012 and made his debut the following year, scoring a match-winning try in his second outing against the North Queensland Cowboys.
Nofoaluma won the Dally M Try of the Year for his effort against Manly, converting a Benji Marshall bomb with most of his body in the air over the dead ball line.
West Tigers have had a strong start to the season and sit fourth on the ladder, having stunned the much favoured Storm and the Roosters late on in the opening few rounds of the season.

Recently retired Newcastle Knight Anthony Tupou and wife Kimberley Bazley have bought a home just outside of Newcastle.
They've spent $1.3 million on an original 1970s brick and tile home on the border of Nesca Park.
Set on 620 square metres, the three bedroom home has a split level lounge and dining domain and a lower level rumpus.
A rear verandah overlooks the saltwater swimming pool.
Robinson Property The Junction agent Michael Flook sold the home after having $1.35 million to $1.45 million hopes.
Last year Tupou sold his Maroubra investment at auction for $965,000 through NG Farah.
The 1970s Beach Court apartment cost Tupou $491,000 in 2005 shortly after he joined the Sydney Roosters.
Tupou made his Roosters debut in 2004, then joining the Sharks in 2009 having played 111 games for the Roosters. He played 125 games for Cronulla in seven seasons.
Over the years he made 11 Test appearances for the Kangaroo's and played four State of Origin games for New South Wales.

There's new beginnings off-field for the Bulldogs marquee recruit, Kieran Foran.
He has bought a home over the summer break - and it is with his new love interest, Karina May Ormsby.
The home was marketed as "a family oasis immersed in nature".
The architect-designed sanctuary cost $1.7 million, with Foran and Ormsby holding equal equity for the home on 1175 square metres in a stunning bushland setting.
Showcasing fluid open spaces and al fresco entertaining, the modern home has a National Park outlook with picturesque walking trails.
It is 30 kilometres from training at Belmore. 
Limited Instagram images so far show the family enjoying the home, although there was a recent balcony hammock shot.
The couple, just back from their trip to the tennis in Melbourne, have been dating since late last year. Omsby is a Central Coast hairdresser and fitness instructor.
The late 2017 listing of Foran's Freshwater home involved legal action from his former flame and mother of his two children, Rebecca Pope, who did not have official equity in their intended family home.
Pope's lawyers lodged a caveat on the property before its sale, suggesting she should get a cut of the proceeds.
Legal paperwork suggested Pope made "direct and indirect financial and non-financial contributions to the acquisition, conservation and maintenance of the lands".
Bought in 2016, Pope and their two children live in the home during his New Zealand stint.
It secured $3.05 million after a $2.8 million price guidance. The home cost Foran $2.51 million.
Pope had viewed the five bedroom home as their "forever home," upon the purchase.
Foran made himself unavailable for New Zealand's World Cup campaign in a bid to be fit for the 2018 season with his new club.
Over the past two years the five-eighth has faced problems with his shoulder, back and quadriceps.
Foran began his career at the Sea Eagles before moving to the Eels. He only played nine games at Parramatta after being granted indefinitely by the club.

Bulldogs recruit Kieran Foran finds new bushland home

The star NRL Bulldogs recruit Kieran Foran has finalised his springtime property portfolio disposal with the sale of his Dee Why investment apartment.
His two sales yielded around $3.75 million.
He set a $745,000 asking price on the two bedroom investment offering, but got his buyer when the price was lowered to $729,000.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-dee+why-126724574" target="_blank">The late 1960s Westminster Avenue apartment</a> which cost $451,500 in 2011 had been available for rent earlier this year at $520 a week.
Foran, who left the New Zealand Warriors to return to Sydney because he wanted to be closer to his kids, has not commented on his plans after the big sell up.
His latest Instragrams have regularly featured his fishing exploits after earlier Instagram posts revealed his new relationship with 48 year old former Central Coast hairdresser, fitness instructor Karina May, a mother of six.
The mixed fortunes in Foran's off-field life returned recently to the public arena following the listing of his Freshwater house last month.
It came with $2.8 million hopes through Ray White Freshwater agents Graham Bennett and Bernard Hachenberg who secured $3,055,000.
It was the home that Foran bought early last year - where his former partner Rebecca Pope and the couple's two children resided during his season playing in New Zealand.
After the for sale sign board went up, an upset Pope told the local paper, The Manly Daily, that she'd viewed it as her "forever" home.
"I wanted to stay here forever," she said.
“It was our dream home with a big block, ideal for our children and two dogs."
A legal battle over the proceeds has begun, with Pope's lawyers lodging a caveat on the home which sits officially just in Foran's name.
The legal paperwork suggested she made "direct and indirect financial and non-financial contributions to the acquisition, conservation and maintenance of the lands".
Foran paid $2.51 million in early 2016.
By the time the home had settled and the family moved in, their relationship was over.
Foran was registered earlier this week by the Bulldogs, with pre-season having started on Monday.

The English Super League recruit, South Sydney Rabbitoh veteran Bryson Goodwin has leased his Oyster Bay home.
The versatile back is heading to the UK with wife, Jessica and their two children having spent the past 11 years in the NRL. 
He has signed a two-year deal with Super League club, Warrington Wolves.
“The plan was for me to go over on my own then come home for Christmas, but now we’re all coming,” he told the local UK paper, the Warrington Guardian. 
“We thought it would be a great adventure for us as a family. To get the chance to come over to England and play footy is a great privilege.”
Now he needs to change his Twitter page which says “live in Sydney! surfing, golf, reading, diving, fishing”.
The couple paid $728,000 for the three-bedroom home in 2013, after he joined the Redfern-based club. He was previously at the Bulldogs after starting his career at Cronulla in 2007. 
The rental property was recently marketed at $750 a week for either a six or 12-month lease through Chamber Fleming Professionals Padstow agent Jade Tavener. 
The couple also retain a Cronulla apartment which was bought in 2008. 
A son of Australian rugby league representative Ted Goodwin, Bryson was overlooked for selection in the Rabbitohs premiership winning campaign in 2014.

South Sydney Rabbitohs stalwart George Burgess and wife Joanna have listed their home in Chifley in Sydney’s south-east.
Burgess has enlisted former teammate turned NG Farah Kingsford agent Beau Champion to auction the property.
Champion, who attended the couple’s wedding in Noosa late last year, has set the auction for Saturday, ­November 25.
The couple seem keen to move ­closer to Burgess’s brothers, Sam in Maroubra and Tom at Coogee.
<img class="size-full wp-image-240733" src="https://www.realestate.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/30090153/capi_e346cfab5a2499c51cb745c12d230cc0_bf7716d33c8c92351dd3411d45837883.jpeg" alt="The property at 59A Caley Street, Chifley" data-capiid="bf7716d33c8c92351dd3411d45837883">
Burgess, who has been in the green and red since 2012 and was a key figure in the 2014 grand final win, bought the house in 2015.
The two-level family home was ­designed by architects Pinnacle Plus for a 256 square metre site. It has four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Thirty homes have sold in Chifley in the past two years, ranging from $1.2 million to $2.2 million. The suburb’s four-bedroom median is $1,835,000.
Burgess and Joanna, who is studying interior design, welcomed their first child, Boston, in April. 
Burgess is building up an eastern suburbs property portfolio, including a Randwick apartment.
The Burgess boys are all on the property ladder in Sydney’s east, taking advantage of the beaches they don’t get in England.
Sam lives in a Maroubra mansion and owns a Bondi Beach investment apartment. Luke, who now plays in the English Super League, also has a Chifley property, and youngest brother Tom, the last to buy, has an apartment in Coogee.
Beau Champion recently gained his real estate licence. “I’ve always had a passion for real estate and now pride myself on building my brand around my service,” he said.
The home is set in a quiet residential street within walking distance of schools, parks and cafes. It is also close to Westfield Eastgardens and direct city transport along Anzac Parade.

St George Illawarra Dragons star Tyson Frizell has spent $1.27 million on a 1960s home in Gymea, closer to his old stomping ground than his current.
Frizell has been based in Russell Vale near the WIN Stadium since 2013 when he joined the Dragons from the Sharks.
Earlier this month the 26 year old Wollongong born forward made the cut for the Kangaroo's World Cup squad for the first time.
Frizell has bought the home with his fiancee, graphic designer Samantha Fahy.
Their dog Ziggy, who has his own Instagram, is apparently delighted with the big back yard space. 
Upon the purchase, an Instagram picture of Ziggy and Fahy was captioned: ''first selfie in our new house. Me, mum and dad bought a house and I get a brand new big backyard!!!!"
He's already been snapped lounging by the pool, and down at Gymea baths with Tyson. The two were "checking out the new neighbourhood".
The original brick family home on 805 square metres was advertised as having amazing potential to build or renovate before Frizell snapped it up pre-auction.
It has three bedrooms, one bathroom and a large back yard with swimming pool.
Purple Bricks agent Joshua Singer sold the home pre-auction. 
Frizell began his career at the Cronulla Sharks but moved to St George in 2013 where he nears 100 games.
The back-rower, now a permanent fixture in the NSW Blues Origin side after breaking through in 2016, was a standout last month when Australia Prime Ministers XIII beat PNG 48-8.
