Waterfront buyers were able to amalgamate blocks to get their dream home right at Stockland Newport.
Land buyers in a development in Brisbane’s north have been able to design their own block of land on which to build their dream home.
Buyers in Stockland’s Newport project on Brisbane’s Redcliffe Peninsula were able to choose the size of their block under the developer’s new ‘Design Your Lot’ program. Prices are based on the number of square metres acquired.

With more than 3,500 sqm of the development facing a 22-hectare lake, buyers had the option of a private mooring and could tweak the size of their water frontage.
Stockland senior development manager Blair Britton said Newport’s ‘Design Your Lot’ was created in response to customer demand.
“We have had a huge increase in demand for wider block sizes that allow people to build a bigger home and also incorporate a bigger yard, swimming pool, fire pit or space to store a caravan or boat.”
He said the program was a first for Stockland and put buyers in the driver’s seat, allowing them to customise their lot to a home design and lifestyle they want to build.
Buyer Shane Newcombe said his goal was a large home when he amalgamated his site at Stockland Newport.
“While the Design Your Lot promotion is now closed, Newport continues to offer a range of land options, including lakefront blocks, with private moorings, that can be amalgamated for those wanting wider frontage.”
Shane Newcombe, who amalgamated his site in Stockland Newport, said his goal was to have enough space to build a large home.
“We really wanted to build a big family home, but there weren’t any large blocks available to suit the home we’d already designed. After a lot of searching, we decided to amalgamate two lots in Stockland Newport.
“A larger lot gave us the opportunity to build the perfect home in a community right on the water with everything you need on your doorstep.
“There is no other place like Newport – to have access to the canals, the lake and to be able to hop on your boat and be in Moreton Bay within minutes is a huge opportunity.”
