Progress report on the latest developments
At Cedar Woods we have been taking advantage of current market conditions to
expand our portfolio through the acquisition of prime infill and growth corridor
sites.
In WA, we completed our purchase of an infill site in Subiaco and agreed the conditional purchase of a site
in Hamersley. We also expanded our Victorian land holdings with the acquisition of 43 hectares at Wollert in
Melbourne.
I am pleased to report that a number of development stages have already completed this financial year with

Infill Opportunities in Australia
Cedar Woods is embracing the changing
customer preferences that have driven a
shift in strategy for many land developers,
who are responding to emerging needs by
securing more urban infill opportunities.
Cedar Woods has observed that customer
needs have changed significantly in the last
few years; young families are looking for an
affordable buy-in price in the suburbs that they
are familiar with or grew up in; single-person
households are becoming more prevalent; there
is an increasing proportion of buyers looking for
one-or two-bedroom products; and downsizers
are wanting to stay near family, social networks,
employment and public transport.
These needs have remained a key focus for
Cedar Woods, introducing many projects that
have transformed urban spaces into vibrant
communities, focusing on regeneration and
strategic infill development such as, Williams
Landing, Fletcher’s Slip, Wooloowin and St. A.
Cedar Woods believes infill development is
essential for cities to grow and thrive sustainably.
Optimising unused, historically important
buildings and sites cultivates growth of heritage
tourism while also preserving environmental
assets such as landscapes, agricultural and
natural assets.

Plant give-away
at Ellendale
Residents of Ellendale in Brisbane came
out in force for our second free plant give-
away this year, aimed at promoting thriving
gardens in keeping with the green nature of
the community.
350 plants were given away as part of the initiative,
with each resident eligible to take home four free
plants.
The give-away complements Brisbane City
Council’s Free Native Plants Program, where
ratepayers are entitled to two free plants annually to
green their properties.
With more than 200 homes at Ellendale now
occupied - and a mini-building boom underway -
helping our residents’ gardens to blossom promotes
beautiful streetscapes. Research suggests living in a
green environment has the added bonus of making
people more relaxed and improves their health.
Throughout the nature corridors in the community,
tens of thousands of trees, shrubs and
groundcovers have been planted this year alone.
More than 91 hectares of land at Ellendale will be
retained as green space and natural bushland,
supported by an active replanting program in the
nature corridors. Plant Give-away, Ellendale QLD
New pre-lease

A new commercial development is set to join Williams
Landing as Cedar Woods announces the launch of its
latest commercial project.
Located at 95 Overton Road, on the prominent north western
corner of Overton Road and Kendall Street, the new office
building is designed to accommodate 9,000 square metres of

architectural statement within the growing town centre.
Internally, the 1,500 square metre floor plates will have
excellent natural light and the building has been designed in
accordance with PCA A-Grade standard with bike storage and
end of trip facilities.
A prestigious gateway between the City of Wyndham and the

Fletcher’s Slip Sailing Ahead
Fletcher’s Slip at Port Adelaide is sailing ahead with 75% of
the homes released to date already sold. The new harbourside
community has attracted a diverse mix of buyers, with purchasers
ranging from first home buyers to empty nesters.
The early success of the development, which only launched earlier this year,
has seen Cedar Woods bring forward the release of new homes to meet
market demand.
The latest release features a series of custom designed homes with views over
the Port River towards Hart’s Mill.
Site preparation commenced in October with the works concentrated in
the north-west corner of the site, where the first homes at Fletcher’s Slip
will be located, and where the first residents will live. These future residents
will shortly get to meet one another at the first Fletcher’s Slip ‘Meet your
Neighbour’ event organised by Cedar Woods.
The future residents will also receive an update from Cedar Woods on the
development’s progress and the delivery of a masterplan that will see the
area transformed and revitalised into a vibrant residential community with new
townhouses and apartments, parks and gardens across the twelve hectare
site.
The plan also includes an uninterrupted public promenade to open-up the
waterfront for the entire community; restoration and reuse of existing heritage
