Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

The 11-hectare Cevennes in Red Hill, site of the first commercial vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula, is on the market with a $12 million price tag.
Prices have been stable for some years here, but that is all set to change again from this spring as expat and international interest turns again to the Mornington Peninsula from Europe, America, South Africa and the Middle East, said selling agent Michael Keating of Michael Keating International.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-acreage+semi+rural-vic-dromana-125346758" target="_blank">Cevennes</a> offers a chance to purchase part of Australian wine history. 
<div>Vineyards on the peninsular date to the 1880s, with 8ha under vines by the 1890s.</div>
The Dromana property was bought in 1950 by Australian winemaking royalty the Seppelt family, who removed the passionfruit, creating the first commercial vineyard.
<div>Winter pruning on the small Seppelt vineyard was done by workers brought in from the family’s Great Western vineyards.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Before the crop was harvested, however, it was offloaded.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Wine merchants W.J. Seabrook maintained the vineyard with Doug Seabrook taking the grapes each year across Melbourne to his home at Ivanhoe for processing. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The vineyard was later sold to Dr Richard Case and continued to be worked until a 1967 bushfire wiped out the vines.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The vines planted in the 1990s are now fully managed under licence by the adjoining Trofeo Estate.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The grapes are grown biodynamically on principles of sustainability. The wine is produced in terracotta amphorae, combining ancient winemaking principles with scientific methods. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The striking Cevennes, designed by international luxury resort designer Greg Coles, consists of three villas that make up a total of five bedrooms.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Each villa boasts one internal and two external lounges, a kitchen, ensuite and open fire. A private helipad means the property is just 20-minutes from Melbourne.</div>

Favourable conditions in the rural property market continue in Echuca, with multiple transactions of local cropping and grazing holdings (according to a recent report by HTW.
HTW said there has been some increase in activity for horticultural holdings at levels which suggest some return to confidence albeit only for orchards featuring modern varieties which have been well managed.
"Interestingly the dairy industry has shown some activity though there have been relatively few larger scale transactions.
"Recent release of 2017/18 farm gate milk prices are closer to the long term average for most processors and it will be interesting to see what effect this price signal sends to the broader real estate market. 
A 7 acre property on <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-lifestyle-vic-echuca-7852062" target="_blank">Mathews Road, Echuca</a> is currently listed for $700,000.

A home on 4.05 hectares in South Australia's McLaren Vale wine growing region is being auctioned Saturday 9 September.
The property, 174 Moritz Rd, Blewitt Springs is surrounded on all sides by vineyards. 
It has a water licence of 1.756L and a family of alpacas will be included, by negotiation.
Jason O’Halloran, Ray White Morphett Vale marketing agent said there is no more residential land being released in the area because of its value from a viticulture point of view.
“Development is strictly controlled because of the profit in the soil ... this is significant earth,” he said.
"We have listed a price guide of $800,000 and phone bidding is an option.
“I will run a live Facebook inspection for anyone who is interested on touring this property before it goes under the hammer."
Sellers Heather and Craig Williams have kept the four-bedroom, two-bathroom home and surrounding land in good condition.  
“We moved here to raise our boys, and now they are all grown up it's time for another family to love the property,” Mr Williams said. 
“Over the years, being so close to all the local festivals and events has had a huge positive impact on our lifestyle, whilst at the same time we are right on the Adelaide metro area doorstep. 
“This has not been an easy decision to sell the family home, and whoever calls this place home next will soon find out that the local community, the wine region and this property become part of who you are. 
“It's a great life for anyone to have.”
The on-site auction of 174 Moritz Rd, Blewitt Springs is scheduled for Saturday, September 9 at midday.

The rural property market in south west Victoria and south east South Australia has now hit its straps according to analyst firm Herron Todd White who say the past 12 months has seen a significant increase in demand from both graziers and cropping operators following a good 2016 season.
According to HTW 2016 experienced high crop yields and good pasture growth across most areas which has resulted in a large number of transactions at increasing value levels.
"The continued, although lower stock prices have provided confidence for graziers and cropping operators to search for economies of scale but have the makings of a good season in 2017 as they sow their crops," HTW said.
"Supply of good quality property stock remains tight and many properties are changing hands prior to hitting the market.
"The short supply in most areas is resulting in rapidly increasing land values in some regions especially around areas such as the Wimmera and Lake Bolac. 
"Corporate activity continues following the 2016 sales of Banongil, Mount Fyans, Coonawarra Fresh Produce, Camperdown Dairies and Kaladbro Station to name a few.
"The above sales totalling more than $130 million in transactions which has not been seen since the boom of the timber industry through the early 2000s. We expect that this corporate activity will continue over the next 12 months.
"Cool climate wine grapes in the Coonawarra, Great Western and Pyrenees are starting to display resurgence with improving market confidence and a small number of transactions occurring including the sale of Rymill’s Winery in late 2016 to a Chinese investor.
"A steady increase in demand and pricing of cool climate vineyards is expected in the medium term.
"Dairy activity remains subdued following the 2016 milk price cuts and farmers have concentrated on cost cutting, although a sign of relief was experienced following Fonterra’s recent announcement of a forecast $6.00/kgMS farm gate milk price.
"This market is likely to remain subdued for the short term as market demand and supply fundamentals remain unchanged."
A 535 acre dairy farm in <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-dairy-vic-simpson-7897426" target="_blank">Simpson, Victoria</a> (above), is on the market for $3.2 million. The property features 3 titles and 2 good quality 4 bedroom homes.

A family-owned vineyard in South Australia’s Wrattonbully wine region is on the market through expressions of interest.
The 41 hectare property, Gum Park Vineyard, is on The Hynam Caves Road and features a secure chemical/spray shed, overhead water tank and concrete fill area. It has seven blocks of premium grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.
CBRE Agribusiness’s Phil Schell and First National’s Brian Edwards are selling on behalf of John Southgate and Dee Nolan.
The property was established over 100 years ago by Dee Nolan’s grandfather.
Mr Schell said Gum Park Vineyard was also expecting a bumper crop for 2017, with picking due to commence within the next month.
“Located just 3.5 hours from the Adelaide CBD, this vineyard is ideally positioned in Wrattonbully – neighbouring the world famous Coonawarra and Padthaway wine regions,” he said.
“We expect strong interest from local producers looking to expand their existing operations and producers from other wine districts looking for opportunities to create blends.
"Frequently, Wrattonbully fruit is used in producing some of Australia’s best wine through its inclusion in Barossa wines.”
Expressions of interest close Friday, March 10 at 4.00pm (ACST).

A sandstone Kangaloon church in the Southern Highlands countryside has been listed due to a decline in its congregation.
The Uniting Church of Australia <a href="https://bowral.ljhooker.com.au/68HQ6/1740-kangaloon-road-kangaloon" target="_blank">is selling the old church</a>, which held its last service in May.
Kangaloon is about two hours south of Sydney and about 15 minutes east of Bowral.
There's a graveyard with tombstones included with the historic 1860s church on the corner of 1740 Kangaloon Road and Warreeah Lane.
Its price guide is $680,000 to $740,000.
The LJ Hooker listing agent Paul Bakker suggests it was likely to be converted into a home or gallery after some $300,000 spent on converting the historic holding.
The oldest of the 14-tombstones is dated 1886.

Durham Court, the Upper Namoi property held by seven generations of the Baldwin family, has been listed for sale.
The heritage landmark of the Manilla district is set for a November 30 auction through Purtle Plevey agents Patrick Purtle and Samuel Plevey.
Bidding is expected to exceed $2.5 million.
Listed for the first time, <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-mixed+farming-nsw-manilla-7857750" target="_blank">Durham Court</a> has a grand, two-storey brick homestead dating from the 1870s on its 547 hectare land holding. 
It boasts six bedrooms, a formal lounge, dining rooms and staff quarters.
The house retains classic Victorian features such as cedar staircase and joinery, pressed-metal ceilings, marble fireplaces and fluted verandah columns.
When Otto Baldwin first settled in the early 1830s, the holding was around 80,000 hectares.
Originally named 'Diniwarindi', Otto settled when he and others were forced off their Liverpool Plains country when the 100,000 hectare 'Warrah' was given to the Australian Agricultural Company.
The name was changed to 'Durham Court' following the Crown Lands Act of 1884.
The Baldwin's were among the first to import breeding stock from Britain.
The subdivisions or the original station began in 1898 when 17 blocks were sold, followed by 50 more in 1908.
One of Manilla's most historic land holdings, Durham Court has most recently been run as Shorthorn cattle herd, currently number 200 breeders.

Savills expects strong interest from developers in the aged care, freehold residential, golf course tourism and vineyard arenas.  
<a href="https://anvilcreek.com/" target="_blank">Anvil Creek</a> has been owned since 1980 by the Windt family who have secured rezoning after 15 years of planning for the site at 324-325 Camp Road, Allandale and 995 Lovedale Road, Allandale.
The listing agents Stuart Cox and Neil Cooke noted Conybeare Morrison International-designed approvals for 1,364 residential dwellings; 85 tourist villas, a 150 room hotel; an 18-hole Graham Marsh designed international standard golf course and clubhouse; an 8,700 sq m commercial and retail precinct, a 16,000 sq m education precinct, and 20-hectare working vineyard.  Ben Azar, Savills Capital Transactions &amp; Cross Border Investments suggests the large scale diverse redevelopment nature will appeal to Asian developers who are experienced in this type of project throughout Asia.
Anvil Creek is 1.5 hours from Sydney and under 40 minutes to the Newcastle International Airport, being located only one kilometre south of Greta.
