The $140 million land lease community in the suburb of Burpengary East will deliver 186 modern, low-maintenance homes alongside a $13 million Country Club. The resort-style hub will feature a pool, cinema, gym and pickleball court.

Civil works are now underway on the development, which secured approval from Moreton Bay Regional Council in November 2024. The first homes are expected to begin construction early next year.

Living Gems Chief Executive Officer Anthony Puljich, appointed in July, flagged the lifestyle resort as part of the operator’s $710 million pipeline last month. The project is separate to the Burpengary East site sold to Stockland in July 2023.

Moreton Bay growing fast

Anthony said Living Gems Moreton Bay will meet continued high demand for ‘right-sized’ homes, while helping to free up established homes in the area.

“Moreton Bay is one of the fastest-growing regions in Australia, and that’s only going to gather pace in the years ahead,” he said.

“We’re anticipating buyer interest from across South East Queensland and sea changers coming from the southern states, along with those already living in Moreton Bay. As locals downsize, they free up larger family-sized homes for younger generations, which has a positive impact on housing supply in the region.”

Living Gems is also progressing two other major Queensland projects: the $210 million Living Gems Harris Crossing in Townsville and the $360 million Living Gems Rockhampton.
