The lives of
five Territory families changed last week after they secured an affordable
house and land package at Zuccoli.
Five packages,
priced from $475,550 to $542,000, went on sale for low to middle income earners who
had progressed their application to approved purchaser status under the government’s
Territory Government’s Real Housing for Growth Plan.
Sold on a
first in, first served basis, Jenna Hingston said she was delighted to be one
of the successful buyers.
“It’s a dream
come true. I couldn’t breathe and they (Urbex) were trying to ask me questions.
I think I was in shock,” she said.
Ms Hingston,
who’s always wanted to own her own home, said she seriously looked at buying a
property for more than a year.
“I’m just
really grateful. I missed out on the last housing release in February, which
was disappointing.
“To be the
first caller through this time and know that a brand new home will be mine
makes it all worth it.”
Urbex General
Manager Wayne Rex said the sales followed the recent success of the housing release at Johnston Ridge.
“Urbex is
committed to providing a range of affordable home ownership opportunities for
Territorians,” Mr Rex said.
“Our team has
worked hard with government and local builders to deliver a range of quality
house and land packages at affordable price points.”
The house and
land packages included home designs by the Bendella Group, NIMM Constructions
and The Total Group.
To be
eligible for the government’s Real Housing for Growth Plan home buyer
initiative, buyers must meet eligibility criteria including income limits
and have finance approval in-principle.
Zuccoli is a master planned
community developed by Urbex in partnersip with the Northern Territory’s Land
Development Corporation.
When complete the suburb,
located along Lambrick avenue just off Stuart Highway, will be the largest in
Palmerston and will incorporate schools, sporting facilities, commercial/retail
centres, community facilities and an extensive range of walking and bicylce
tracks.
