YourLand Developments has officially marked the start of construction on Acclaim, its 1080-lot masterplanned community in Donnybrook, with a sod-turning ceremony held today on site alongside Lauren Kathage MP, Member for Yan Yean, and Cr Christine Stow, Councillor for North Ward. Bild Group has been appointed as the civil contractor to deliver the first stage of works. The milestone marks the next stage of growth in Melbourne’s north, with Acclaim now moving into construction on critical works including new roads, upgraded intersections and essential civil infrastructure to support thousands of future residents and improve local connectivity. Located in Donnybrook, Acclaim is a large-scale residential community that will deliver 1080 new homes alongside substantial public infrastructure investment, helping to meet the growing demand for housing in Melbourne’s outer north while ensuring the area is supported by safe, well-planned transport and services. Planned amenities include a prep to year 12 government school, a local shopping village, community centre, sports reserve, playgrounds and open spaces, as well as shared walking and cycling links that will support everyday liveability. Home to just 2,100 people in 2021, it is estimated that Donnybrook’s population will grow to more than 25,000 people by 2031, largely driven by young families and first-home buyers. Andrew Jones, Head of Development - Communities at YourLand, said the sod turn represents a major step forward not just for Acclaim, but for the wider Donnybrook precinct. “This is a significant milestone for Acclaim and for Donnybrook. Construction starting means we can now deliver the infrastructure that underpins a well-functioning community, from new roads and intersections through to essential services that benefit both future residents and the broader area. “This project reflects our commitment to unlocking much-needed housing supply while delivering the infrastructure required to support long-term growth in Donnybrook,” said Mr Jones. Project capital partner NTT Urban Development Australia Pty Ltd, the Australian real estate investment arm of global technology services company NTT Group, was also in attendance. Hideaki Matsuo, Director of NTT Urban Development Australia Pty Ltd, said the company was proud to support the delivery of Acclaim as part of its commitment to sustainable urban development in Victoria. “Acclaim reflects our focus on backing well-planned communities that deliver long-term value for residents and the broader public. We are pleased to partner with YourLand to help bring this new community in Donnybrook to life,” Mr Matsuo said. The project includes the delivery of a new road network and intersection upgrades, designed to improve traffic flow, safety and access for the surrounding community as Donnybrook continues to grow. Lauren Kathage MP, Member for Yan Yean said the project reflects the State Government’s commitment to supporting housing delivery alongside critical infrastructure. “Projects like Acclaim are exactly what growing communities like Donnybrook need. This development will deliver new homes while also investing in the roads and infrastructure that make neighbourhoods work. “By working closely with developers and councils, we are helping to ensure new communities are well planned, well connected and supported from day one,” Ms Kathage said. Acclaim is expected to generate approximately 3,700 jobs over its lifespan. Civil works on Stage 1A are now underway, marking the first visible step in the transformation of the Acclaim site into a connected, liveable community in Melbourne’s north. Once complete, Acclaim will be home to approximately 3240 residents.

Society 1056 recently hosted its first builder breakfast of 2026, bringing together our valued builder partners on site to connect, celebrate our ongoing partnerships, and share what’s ahead for the growing community. The morning was an opportunity to thank our builders for their continued commitment and to start the year aligned, connected and confident in the shared vision for Society 1056. Society 1056 is a community of approximately 1,500 homes, offering a balanced mix of traditional homesites, from larger family blocks to more compact options, alongside future medium density and townhome opportunities. This diversity supports a wide range of buyers while allowing our builder partners to deliver homes that respond to evolving lifestyle needs. The builder breakfast reinforced how critical these partnerships are in shaping the streetscapes, homes and character of the community. Construction at Society 1056 continues to progress, with the first three stages complete and many residents now moved in. We’re looking forward to Stages 5 and 6 completing later this year. A clubhouse that sets Society 1056 apart A key highlight shared during the breakfast was the future Clarke Hopkins Clarke designed Clubhouse, which will be a defining feature of Society 1056 and a true point of difference within the west corridor, specifically Fraser Rise. Designed as a wellness led, resort style destination, the clubhouse will include a gym, sauna, magnesium spa, swimming pools, yoga studio, outdoor cricket nets, pickleball court and basketball halfcourt. More than an amenity, it will act as the heart of the community, elevating the lifestyle offering for residents and creating a compelling drawcard for future purchasers. The clubhouse is expected to open early 2028. Find out more about the clubhouse here. Green space, everyday convenience and long-term liveability The builder breakfast was an opportunity for our team to provide an update on the abundance of green space and amenity planned for the Society 1056 community. Approximately 9 hectares of parks, waterways and active open space are planned across the community, with the Stage 6 park expected to complete later this year. More than 5,000 new trees will also be delivered, helping establish a mature, connected landscape from day one and contribute to a cooler climate for the community. Read more here. Looking ahead, Society 1056 will include a proposed Local Convenience Centre adjacent to the clubhouse, along with a future local government school and community centre, supporting families and long-term community growth. Supporting our customers from day one Eligible purchasers can currently access complimentary front lot landscaping and a Zappi EV charger, enhancing the move-in experience and adding long-term value from the outset. Sustainability remains embedded throughout the estate, with over 100 ESD initiatives and an intentional east–west street orientation supporting better solar performance, natural light and energy efficiency. Read more on the future-focused, sustainable solutions at Society 1056 here. The breakfast was a great opportunity to share updates, celebrate partnerships and reinforce our commitment to working closely with our builders as Society 1056 continues to grow. As we move through 2026, we look forward to continuing to build momentum together.

What is titled land? Titled land refers to land that is fully registered and build-ready, with all required compliance completed and a Certificate of Title issued by the Land Registry of Victoria. This certificate clearly defines the lot boundaries and confirms the owner’s exclusive legal right to own, occupy and transfer the property, providing a secure foundation for both building and investment. Once titled land is purchased and settlement is complete, the Certificate of Title is transferred into the buyer’s name. From this point, buyers can commence building immediately, without waiting for further land-related approvals or registration. What are the benefits of titled land? Build sooner, without the wait One of the biggest advantages of titled land is that it is build-ready, helping you to move forward sooner and start planning your build once you settle. Unlike untitled land, which may require buyers to wait months for registration before settlement and construction can begin, titled land allows you to move forward straight away. Greater certainty Because the land is already titled, buyers benefit from clear settlement timeframes, defined boundaries and full legal documentation. There’s no ambiguity around lot details or timing, which can make planning finance and your build simpler and more predictable. Titled land also provides greater clarity for lenders, allowing construction loans, valuations and documentation to progress more smoothly, helping you move forward with finance sooner. With all preliminary civil works complete and key services connected, builders can access the site and commence works once settlement is finalised. You can also walk the block, understand the outlook and assess solar orientation, bringing your future home to life before construction begins. Together, this provides clearer timelines and greater control, allowing you to plan every element of your new home earlier and with greater certainty. Potential cost savings Buying titled land can offer financial advantages. With the ability to build sooner, you may be able to move into your new home faster and reduce the time spent paying rent or holding costs. For investors, shorter build timeframes can also mean a property is ready to rent or sell sooner, helping returns be realised earlier. Access Government grants sooner Some government grants and incentives, such as the First Home Owner Grant or stamp duty concessions, are time sensitive or require construction to commence within a set period. Buying titled land gives you the flexibility to act straight away, making it easier to meet eligibility timelines and take advantage of available incentives. Build with confidence Titled land offers buyers clarity, control and confidence. With defined boundaries, full documentation and immediate build readiness, it is an ideal option for those looking for a hassle-free and future-focused way to build a new home. Whether you’re a first home buyer, upgrader or investor, titled land allows you to move forward sooner and start planning your dream home with certainty.
