We are so excited to have been featured as part of the Courier-Mail’s, ‘Developing Queensland’ Cover Story along with another Lennium Group development, Lilywood Landings, on Saturday, 31st May 2025 — highlighting a golden window of opportunity for first-home buyers to maximise government incentives before June 30 this year, with two new southeast Queensland communities making it easier than ever to take the first step onto the property ladder.

“Lennium Group has fast-tracked land releases to help first-home buyers maximise government incentives before a deadline kicks in.”
“First-home buyers have a golden window of opportunity to maximise government incentives before June 30 this year, with two new southeast Queensland communities making it easier than ever to take the first step onto the property ladder.”
The state government’s $30,000 first homeowner grant reverts to only $15,000 from July 1, while new stamp duty concessions that started on May 1 have created a possible once-in-a-lifetime window for buyers.
The looming deadline comes as developer Lennium Group fast-tracks land releases at two major communities – Highland Walloon in Ipswich’s western growth corridor, and Lilywood Landings in the new city of Waraba, formerly known as Caboolture West – to help first-home buyers secure land and finalise building contracts before the deadline.
Lennium development manager Ian Worthington said May and June 2025 would be golden months for any first-home buyer looking to build, and urged people to move quickly.
“This is a rare moment for first-home buyers, and both Highland Walloon and Lilywood Landings offer the chance to take full advantage of multiple government incentives,” he said. “The difference an extra $15,000 can make is huge. It could pay for upgrades, landscaping, or even help reduce your mortgage – but the clock is ticking.
“If you’re serious about buying, now is the time to secure land, line up your builder and get your building contract signed before June 30.”
Construction is well under way at Highland Walloon and the first home and land packages are officially launching on Saturday, offering some of the most affordable new home options in southeast Queensland.
For example, the Carlton 164 by Bold Living is priced at just under $640,000 and features four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage on a block covering 420sq m.
Perched in the elevated hilltops of Walloon, the new masterplanned community has an average lot size of almost 500sq m.
“…we’re expecting strong interest from first-home buyers who see the value of locking in a home now, rather than missing out on an extra $15,000,” he said.
“These are [Highland Walloon and Lilywood Landings] two of the most exciting new communities in southeast Queensland, offering incredible value and lifestyle in high-growth areas. We’ve designed both communities with first-home buyers in mind, focusing on affordability, an abundance of green spaces, and connectivity to everyday services.”
