The first of six planned house and land releases this year at a new coastal estate in Adelaide’s southern suburbs has just gone on sale, delivering high-quality, affordable housing to the area.
The initial release at Renewal SA’s Noarlunga development comprises 22 lots - half offered as house and land packages, and the other half as land only - which became available on Saturday, 21 June. A steady stream of subsequent releases is scheduled over the coming months to meet increasing demand.
The project will include a minimum of 626 dwellings, in alignment with the state government’s Housing Roadmap. Future releases will include a mix of larger land parcels, premium house and land packages, and highly sought-after locations.
Skye Bayne, Executive Director of Sales and Corporate Affairs at Renewal SA, said this first release was already attracting strong interest, with many prospective buyers keen to purchase.
“We’ve had almost 100 applications to buy since sales went live on Saturday,” Ms Bayne said.
“This is a positive indicator that the location and amenity of the area are attractive to those in the market to buy a new home.”
The house and land packages contain 11 affordable homes, available through HomeSeeker SA, with prices starting from $525,000. Eligible packages also include up to 25% shared equity through the state governments HomeStart scheme .
The homes are a mix of two- and three-bedroom, semi-detached townhouses, located along the northwestern edge of the development, and will be built by South Australian builder UrbanLux.
John Taarnby, Managing Director of Taarnby Real Estate, who is selling this first release of homes, said there was a high demand for new homes in well-serviced areas in the south.
“The Noarlunga project has it all, we have a lot of transport options nearby, great shopping options and it’s so close to the beach. It’s going to be very popular,” he said.
Three of the 11 land allotments that went on sale on Saturday are listed as affordable through HomeSeekerSA, giving buyers the opportunity to choose their own builder.
These allotments are located on the western edge of the development and range in size from 158sqm to 245sqm, with prices starting from $210,000.
The release is the first of six planned for the year, with Renewal SA aiming to release more than 80 additional opportunities to purchase in Noarlunga throughout the second half of 2025.
Ms Bayne said that by offering the first homes as affordable, Renewal SA was ensuring first-home buyers and moderate-income families have the chance make their move early to join a growing area.
“These early buyers have the best opportunity to maximise their investment and own a home in what will be a really wonderful place to live” she said.
Civil works are underway to prepare roads, sewers, and essential services ahead of the construction of the first homes and public spaces.
“The ongoing program of civil works, particularly the creation of roads, will unlock land allotments for us to release for sale and ultimately begin housing construction,” Ms Bayne said.
Construction of the first homes is scheduled to begin in early 2026, with the first residents expected to move in by the end of next year.
As home construction progresses, early planning is also underway for the first public open spaces within the development.
An entry reserve will be built off Dyson Road providing an area of approximately 2000sqm for the community, with an additional reserve of 935sqm space also to be delivered within this early stage.
Construction of these open spaces will begin in mid2026, with both parks expected to open to the community by late-2026.
Twelve and a half percent of the 22-hectare development will be dedicated to public open space, unlocking green pockets throughout the estate for the new community.
Renewal SA engaged with the local community in 2024 to seek their thoughts and input into the plan for the development of the previously vacant land, following its 2023 announcement of the new master planned community.
Delivered in partnership with the South Australian Housing Trust, the Noarlunga development will offer a mix of direct-to-market housing, affordable housing and social housing. Renewal SA is also exploring the potential for affordable rentals managed by a Community Housing Provider.
The project is targeting a minimum of 28% affordable and social housing.
New residents will benefit from a diverse and well-connected neighbourhood, appealing to first home buyers, families, upsizers, downsizers, and the like. The estate is ideally located near Port Noarlunga Beach, Colonnades Shopping Centre, Noarlunga TAFE, Noarlunga Hospital, and the local railway station.
The development spans two land parcels on either side of Lovelock Drive, within the suburbs of Port Noarlunga and Noarlunga Downs.
