The fifth episode of New Neighbourhoods by OpenLot.com.au takes us into Melbourne’s western growth corridor, where farmland and heritage homesteads have given way to new communities, cultural diversity, and major infrastructure investment. With suburbs such as Point Cook, Werribee, and Wyndham Vale, the region is one of Victoria’s fastest expanding areas, supported by upgraded transport links, hospitals, schools, and retail hubs. Once regarded as a pass-through, Melbourne’s west has now become a destination in its own right, attracting families, investors, and small businesses alike.
Episode 5 highlights the region’s featured development:
Developed by Lotus Living, Jubilee is one of the west’s largest and most established masterplanned communities. Celebrating its ten-year anniversary, the estate is divided into three unique precincts, Mill Quarter, Scholars Green, and Urban Square, each designed for a different buyer profile. With more than 7,000 families set to call Jubilee home, residents benefit from Club Jubilee, a resident-only facility complete with water park, slides, swimming pools, and a gym. Plans include a P–12 college, a 23-hectare sporting precinct and an employment hub designed to attract both small and large businesses. Positioned between Melbourne and Geelong, Jubilee offers a rare combination of accessibility and lifestyle.
The episode also features G.J. Gardner Homes, one of the most recognisable building groups in Australia. Operating under a franchise model, G.J. Gardner combines the trust of a national brand with the personal service of local ownership. Buyers work directly with franchise owners who live and build within the community, ensuring local knowledge, strong trade connections and genuine accountability. Display homes such as the Milbrook highlight key trends, including skylights, open voids for natural light, and flexible designs catering to multigenerational living. With more than 150 franchises worldwide, GJ Gardner offers choice and reliability across first homes, upgrades, and large custom builds.
As Melbourne’s west continues to attract record growth, infrastructure investment, and new opportunities, property values are set to rise in line with population demand. With established communities such as Jubilee and trusted builders like G.J. Gardner Homes, the region offers a compelling mix of affordability, convenience and lifestyle.
