YourLand is pleased to announce the practical completion of the final stage of Officer Central, a significant milestone for this 491-lot residential development that spans 12 stages in Melbourne’s southeastern corridor.
Located in a highly sought-after pocket of Officer, this achievement marks the final piece of the puzzle in the southern precinct of the Officer PSP Zone. The development has already attracted over 500 residents and when fully occupied, Officer Central will be home to an estimated 1200+ residents, contributing to the area’s dynamic growth.
The appeal of Officer Central lies in its strategic location and abundant amenities. Residents enjoy a life of convenience with 18 schools within a 5km radius, numerous parks, walkways, and green spaces all within walking distance. The community also benefits from several sports clubs within 2km, as well as new swim school and childcare facilities in the nearby Officer Fields development by YourLand.
The completion of Officer Central comes at a crucial time for Melbourne’s property market. The suburb of Officer has experienced remarkable population growth, increasing by 159% from 2016 to 2021, and continues to expand. This growth is reflected in the area’s property values, with median house prices seeing a 28% increase over the past five years.[1]
As part of the development, YourLand, in partnership with Spiire and Winslow, has undertaken significant infrastructure upgrades to enhance connectivity and accessibility, including upgrades to 2km of major external roads and the design and delivery of a roundabout intersection. These infrastructure investments not only benefit the residents of Officer Central but also contribute to the broader community’s development.
Andrew Jones, Head of Development – Communities at YourLand, commented on this achievement: “We’re proud to complete this final piece of the puzzle at a critical time for the housing market. Despite industry-wide challenges, Officer Central meets the growing demand in Melbourne’s south-east corridor, reinforcing our commitment to creating thriving communities and leaving a positive legacy.”
With the practical completion of Officer Central’s final stage, YourLand continues to demonstrate its commitment to meeting the needs of Melbourne’s expanding population while creating sustainable, well-connected neighborhoods.
