Welcome To The Arramont Community Update For July

Construction continues, and we're pleased to share an update with you.

Montbeliard Road Continuation

The connection service order has now been accepted by Ausnet with their service provider to complete the connection in the coming 5-10 business days. We again thank the Arramont community for their patience during this time.

APA Gas Easement Landscaping Works - Montbeliard Road

Works are nearing completion on the southern section of Montbeliard Road with the central median set to be completed in the next 1-2 weeks.

Stage 7 Reserve

Public lighting works have been successfully completed. As we proceed with the electrical connections, please note that the area will be temporarily fenced off. We expect these works to be completed within the next two weeks. Following the completion of the connections, reinstatement works will commence. This will involve the replanting of trees and seeding of grassed areas to restore the surroundings.

Stages 13 & 14A

Road pavement works have progressed well, thanks to the favourable weather on site. Electrical and telecommunication reticulation are nearing completion, with the remaining concrete works scheduled for next week. Additionally, sewer and water testing have commenced, followed by topsoiling of nature strips and site cleanup.

Stages 15, 16 & 20

The bulk earthworks for Stages 15, 16, and 20 are currently in progress and are advancing smoothly, thanks to the favourable weather conditions. These works are well resourced with ample machinery to ensure this key component of the works is completed in a timely manner.

Stages 17, 18 & 19

Stage 18 detail design engineering re-submission has taken place and Stages 17 & 19 are progressing through Council review. Contractor tenders are now being received ahead of an anticipated Q3/Q4 works commencement.

Community News

The persistent problem of illegal rubbish dumping remains prevalent across the Whittlesea area. In response, the Arramont team is actively considering the installation of informative signage within the estate. These signs aim to provide guidance on how to report dumped rubbish, as well as address other forms of illegal activity.

Wollert, a property investors haven

Wollert has quietly become one of Melbourne's most closely watched growth suburbs. As affordability continues to push buyers beyond Melbourne's inner suburbs, Melbourne's north has emerged as a destination for first home buyers, young families and investors alike. Unlike many established suburbs where prices have already climbed significantly, Wollert is still evolving, giving buyers the opportunity to enter a market that continues to grow. REA data shows Wollert's median house price sits at around $712,000, making it one of the more affordable entry points into Melbourne's metropolitan market. Houses recorded annual growth of 3.2% over the 12 months to May 2026, while delivering a gross rental yield of around 4.4%, a combination that continues to appeal to both owner occupiers and investors. Much of Wollert's appeal comes down to the expected population growth. The 2021 Australian Bureau of Statistics Census recorded 24,407 residents, with a median age of just 30, making Wollert one of Melbourne's youngest communities. That number is expected to rise significantly over the coming decades as new neighbourhoods are completed and Melbourne's northern growth corridor continues to expand. Not every new resident is ready to buy a home straight away. Many young families, couples and professionals rent first, creating steady demand for modern homes close to schools, parks, shopping centres and everyday amenities.

Strong Rental Returns

REA data indicates the current median weekly rent for a house in Wollert is $560. Median rents have increased by around 40% since 2021, highlighting how demand has grown alongside the suburb itself. Over the past 12 months, more than 1,200 houses were leased, while around 1,500 renters registered interest in properties across the suburb. The typical renter profile reflects the buyers moving into the area. Young families are looking for more space, first home buyers are saving for their own property, and professionals are seeking newer homes without the price tag of Melbourne's more established suburbs.

Investing for the long term

As Wollert grows, it is also gaining the infrastructure that supports long term liveability, including new schools, upgraded roads, shopping centres and community facilities. These investments are helping transform the suburb from a growth area into a well established part of Melbourne's north. For some investors, purchasing a new home within a master planned community can also offer tax benefits. Negative gearing occurs when the costs of owning an investment property, including loan interest, maintenance and other eligible expenses, exceed the rental income it generates. Depending on an investor's individual circumstances, those losses may be offset against taxable income, although professional tax advice should always be sought. New homes may also provide depreciation benefits on eligible building components and fixtures, which can improve after tax cash flow during the early years of ownership.

Why Arramont works for investors

Arramont offers buyers the chance to invest while Wollert is still taking shape. Instead of buying into a suburb where much of the growth has already occurred, purchasers are securing land in a community expected to benefit from continued population growth, improving infrastructure and increasing demand over the years ahead. Buying within an estate like Arramont also simplifies the process. From the initial purchase through to construction, a dedicated sales team and trusted builder network help guide buyers through every stage of the journey. The benefits continue after the home is complete. Renters become part of a thoughtfully planned community where parks, nature strips and green spaces are professionally maintained, while regular local events and community initiatives help create a genuine sense of neighbourhood. For investors, that combination should be a selling point. It’s not just about buying a property anywhere. It’s about investing in a community where people genuinely want to live, and where demand is expected to grow alongside the suburb itself.

Victoria’s Gas Connection Changes: What buyers need to know

Victoria’s housing market is changing rapidly, and one of the biggest shifts facing future homeowners is the move away from residential gas connections. For buyers planning to build and wanting gas in their homes, now is the time to think about your buying and building timeline to ensure it’s doable in your home. With the Victorian Government moving toward all-electric homes from 2027, anyone who still wants the option of gas cooking, gas heating, or gas hot water in their future home needs to understand the upcoming changes and more importantly, why getting permits approved before the cut-off could make all the difference.

What are the new gas connection rules in Victoria?

The Victorian Government has announced major building electrification reforms that will impact new homes across the state. From 1 January 2027, most newly approved homes in Victoria will no longer be eligible for standard gas connections and will instead need to be fully electric. This means future homes approved after the cut-off may not have access to natural gas cooktops, gas ducted heating, gas hot water systems and future gas appliance upgrades. The changes form part of Victoria’s broader push toward reducing emissions and transitioning households to electric energy systems, however it takes away the control buyers have in choosing how they want their new home to operate.

Rules and exemptions broken down

Existing homes can keep gas connections

Homes that already have active gas connections can continue to stay as they are, they will not be made to change over to electric.

Renovations and extensions may retain gas

Established properties that already have active gas connections may still be able to retain gas when undertaking renovations or extensions.

Projects approved before the deadline

Developments and homes with permits approved before the new regulations commence may still qualify for gas connections.

Regional and LPG exceptions

Some regional properties and homes using LPG systems may continue to operate outside the standard restrictions.

Why this creates urgency for buyers

Building approvals can often take longer than you think, which means starting the process of getting your building permit should start as soon as possible. Waiting could mean missing the deadline and running into delays for permit processing. It could also mean that your house plans need to be redesigned to an all electric fit out which could increase construction costs. For buyers who value the benefits of gas in the home, acting early gives flexibility before the rules tighten permanently.

Why many homeowners still prefer gas

Despite the transition and rising popularity toward electrification, gas remains a highly sought-after feature in many Australian homes. Buyers value the fast and reliable heating, cooking control, familiarity and also simply because a gas cook top visually suits their style. Historically, gas has been a cheaper option for home operation with up front install costs being the main burden, but long term more cost effective. 

Why Arramont Estate in Wollert is perfectly timed

For buyers looking to secure land and start the building process now, Arramont Estate is the perfect option. Located in Melbourne’s rapidly growing northern corridor, Wollert is becoming one of the most popular destinations for families, investors, and first-home buyers looking to build new homes. With land available now, buyers at Arramont Estate may be able to purchase land and work with their preferred builder to get their plans approved before the cut off date. Securing your block of land now could be the difference between having the choice of gas or not. We recommend doing your own research on the upcoming gas reforms, and if you do have the luxury of choosing how to operate your home, conducting your own research on what connection works best for you and your home needs.

Negative Gearing changes and what it means for new builds

Following the Federal Government’s negative gearing reforms, the biggest shift is that tax benefits will now be focused on newly built homes and developments that add housing supply, rather than established properties. While some investors see this as a challenge, others may see it as a clear signal about where the market is heading next. Under the proposed changes, established homes purchased after the implementation date may no longer qualify for traditional negative gearing benefits. However, new builds, house and land packages, and developments that create additional housing supply are still expected to qualify. That means investors will need to rethink the traditional strategy of buying older established homes in inner city areas, and instead look at growth corridors where they can buy land and build new. Suburbs like Wollert continue to grow rapidly thanks to new schools, retail, transport connections, and long-term population growth. As demand for modern housing increases, communities like Arramont Wollert will become even more increasingly attractive for investors wanting to align with the new direction of the market. These reforms have only just been introduced, and many investors are now reassessing where future opportunities lie. For buyers willing to adapt early, securing land and building in emerging growth areas could become one of the smarter ways to continue building a property portfolio under the new framework. For investors looking ahead, new residential communities like Arramont Wollert may be exactly the kind of opportunity the market is shifting toward.
