Melbourne South East
The ninth and final episode of New Neighbourhoods by OpenLot.com.au takes us to Melbourne’s South East, one of Victoria’s most dynamic growth corridors. Once a patchwork of farmland and quiet rural towns, the region has transformed into a thriving residential hub encompassing Clyde North, Cranbourne and Pakenham. With a blend of urban convenience, new infrastructure and a community-centred lifestyle, it is no wonder this corridor continues to attract families, first-home buyers and investors in record numbers.
Episode 9 highlights the region’s featured developments:
Featured in this episode is Stockland Averley, a vibrant new masterplanned community by Stockland in Pakenham East. When complete, the estate will be home to over 1,500 households surrounded by 20 hectares of parkland, wetlands and walking trails. Buyers can choose from lots ranging between 400 and 500 square metres, as well as townhomes for those seeking low-maintenance living. Averley’s location offers superb connectivity, moments from multiple train stations, major shopping precincts and several schools. With seven educational facilities nearby and a proposed primary school within the community, Averley is designed for families to grow and thrive close to nature.
Also featured is Five Farms in Clyde North, a 116-hectare development set to deliver around 1,600 homes. What sets this estate apart is its emphasis on wellbeing and sustainability. With more than five hectares of open green space, community gardens, sports courts, and walking and cycling paths, Five Farms has been designed to encourage healthy, active living. The inclusion of multigenerational home designs reflects the changing needs of Australian families, while eco-friendly initiatives such as recycled water systems demonstrate Frasers Property’s commitment to sustainability.
This episode also highlights JG King Homes, one of Victoria’s most respected builders with over 40 years of experience. Founded in Ballarat, JG King has become known for its use of steel framing and UPVC double-glazed windows, features that deliver durability, energy efficiency and comfort. Offering designs from affordable first homes to luxury family residences, JG King continues to set the benchmark for quality and innovation in new home construction across Victoria.
Rounding out the episode is Red Door Conveyancing, an independent firm specialising in property transactions across Victoria. Their team guides buyers through the often complex legal aspects of purchasing land and homes, ensuring every contract is reviewed and every title is clear before settlement. By coordinating with brokers, agents and solicitors, Red Door makes the process transparent and stress-free, a vital step for anyone buying in Melbourne’s booming South East.
With communities like Stockland Averley and Five Farms, trusted builders such as JG King Homes, and expert guidance from Red Door Conveyancing, Melbourne’s South East continues to represent opportunity, growth and a sense of belonging.
