Why investing at Mason Quarter is the right move for your future

As Australia’s population continues to grow, demand for well-planned, strategically located homes are on the rise. One solution that’s reshaping our suburbs is the rise of masterplanned communities, thoughtfully designed residential areas that integrate a variety of homes, green spaces, curated amenities and an embedded sense of connection and community. Unlike traditional suburbs, masterplanned communities are built to function as self-contained towns, offering a complete lifestyle with easy access to essential amenities and infrastructure.

Property has long been considered one of the most reliable ways to build wealth, given the promise of capital growth, passive income and long-term financial security. However, with so many variables to weigh up, choosing the right property for you can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re a first-home buyer or looking to add to your property portfolio, read on to find out why investing in a masterplanned community like Mason Quarter could be the right choice for you.

The desirability of new builds

Many investors look to strike the right balance between strong returns and minimal risk. Increasingly, savvy investors are turning to brand-new homes as a smarter long-term strategy.

While existing homes have traditionally been a popular choice, they often come with hidden costs as they age, such as ongoing maintenance and repairs. Brand-new homes offer peace of mind when it comes to maintenance – with everything covered by warranty, the likelihood of unexpected repair costs is very low.

One major advantage of purchasing a house and land package is the potential for significant stamp-duty savings. Because the home hasn’t been built yet, you’ll only pay stamp duty on the land component, which can equate to tens of thousands of dollars in savings, with rates typically ranging from 3–6% of the purchase price. At Mason Quarter, if you secure a house and land package on selected titled lots, you can save up to $25,000.¹

Promising capital growth

Mason Quarter’s suburb of Wollert is quickly establishing itself as a prime location for property investment, driven by its strong growth trajectory and strategic position within Melbourne’s northern growth corridor. Located in the City of Whittlesea - an area identified by the Victorian Government as a high-growth area²- Wollert is set to benefit from ongoing development and infrastructure upgrades over the coming years.³

Victoria is forecast to see jobs growth of 16.9% by 2034⁴, and by 2040, the City of Whittlesea’s population is expected to increase by more than 60%, with around 8,000 new residents each year.⁵ New housing supply is a critical addition to this growth corridor and masterplanned communities like Mason Quarter are at the heart of this growth, with 800 homes across a range of lot sizes to suit different budgets, and attracting a broad spectrum of buyers.

As new amenities come online and the suburb matures, the appeal of living in a well-connected, thoughtfully designed community drives up buyer interest and in turn, property values. For investors, this means the potential for strong capital growth underpinned by long-term demand.

Prime location and amenities

When it comes to choosing an investment property, location is a crucial factor - it directly impacts a property’s value, rental returns and its attractiveness to future tenants.

Located in Melbourne's northern growth corridor, Mason Quarter in Wollert offers the perfect balance of convenience and lifestyle. Just 25 kilometres from the CBD, residents enjoy easy access to the city while living in a more relaxed, spacious environment.
