BOOMING TOWN IS IN DEMAND

By Narelle Coulter

12350655-DJ21-17

OFFICER is hot. Just ask Peter Nicholls, head of marketing firm KR Peters.

Mr Nicholls said he can’t get enough land on his books to satisfy buyer demand.

“Officer has come of age and all of a sudden it’s a hot spot,” Mr Nicholls said.

Mr Nicholls has such confidence in the future of Officer that he has opened an office in the town’s old post office.

“We’re getting a lot of people walking in off the street and a lot of people buying off the internet,” he explained.

Established homes are also selling like hot cakes. A recent open for inspection attracted 39 parties resulting in a record price for the vendor.

Mr Nicholls said Officer had the advantage of being right next to the Monash Freeway, was within easy distance of Beaconsfield and Berwick while also retaining a country feel.

“Everyone knows there is massive infrastructure coming in terms of schools and transport. There is a good feel to the place. We’re excited.”

The roll-out of community infrastructure has already begun.

In March Cardinia Shire opened a new recreation facility at Heatherbrae Recreation Reserve. The facility completes the final piece of the reserve’s development.

Cardinia mayor Brett Owen said the new $2.75 million pavilion would provide much greater comfort for the many players and spectators who use the reserve.

The building provides new change rooms, umpires’ rooms social and storage spaces in both the netball and main pavilions. The main pavilion also includes kitchen, office, umpires’ room, gym, meeting and storage spaces and the netball pavilion includes an office space.

Heatherbrae Recreation Reserve now has a full suite of sporting facilities including football and cricket ovals with flood lights, two netball courts, two cricket nets, a half-court basketball court and a tennis hit-up wall, plus car parking and a wetlands area.

The reserve also features local artist Mark Bernard’s public artwork ‘Cow Over the Moon’ on a public outdoor ping pong table. The concept behind this piece references the renowned dairy farm ‘Heatherbrae herd’ once occupying the site. In April, Cardinia Shire Council’s $2.7 million Arena Child and Family Centre was officially opened for businesses.

“Arena Child and Family Centre is much more than just a childcare centre - it provides a hub for families and young children to connect and grow together, enjoy social contact, access support and expertise, and take part in a wide range of programs and activities,”

Cr Owen said.

Arena Child and Family Centre provides maternal and child health, pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and extended after-care services all in one centre. The facility includes community spaces suitable for play groups, parenting programs and activities, consulting rooms, staff and meeting rooms, and additional services such as early intervention and family counselling.

One of Officer’s longest established gems is D’Angelo Estate Vineyard. Perched on a hill just off the Princes Highway, D’Angelo’s produces its own wines and also offers a fabulous cellar door and casual dining experience for those who love tapas and wood-fired pizza.

The D’Angelo family has been involved in the Officer community for many years.

Benny D’Angelo and his family bought 10 acres of land in Officer, facing Western Port, in September 1999.

In January 2000 Benny planted 10 acres of vines and in 2013 opened a cellar door.

The topography of Officer makes an excellent site for growing cool climate varieties such as pinot noir, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and shiraz.

Winery manager Lauren said the D’Angelo family and their staff welcomed the development boom in Officer with “open arms”.

“Who else can say they have a winery in their backyard,” she said.

Lauren said the winery was extremely popular with locals, created jobs and brought tourists to the area.

The family has now branched out into the landscaping business, with Dominico D’Angelo operating D’Angelo Excavation and Landscaping Services.

One of the estates located in the heart of Officer is Arcadia, which features 1700 blocks spread across 28 stages. More than 250 houses have been built, or are under construction and on completion, Arcadia will be home to more than 5000 people.

Satterley Property Group general manager for Victoria and Queensland, Jack Hoffmann said: “Having four schools on site and 13 hectares of parkland and nature reserves made the master-planned community a popular choice among families.”

“Not many estates in the south-east of Melbourne can boast four schools, giving families a depth of education choices from Prep to VCE. We’re very lucky to have quality schools like Officer Secondary College on our doorstep.”

Mr Hoffmann said work had also commenced on a $1 million, one-hectare park will feature play equipment, barbecue facilities, open green spaces, in-built seating and free wifi.

COME ALIVE AT OFFICER’S NUMBER ONE ESTATE WITH the growth of communities like Parklea’s Timbertop estate and the development of the town centre, Officer is becoming a hot spot for families seeking a mix of country and convenience.

Officer is one of Cardinia Shire’s most rapidly growing areas with its population forecast to increase to 34,043 in the next 20 years. As the face of Officer continues to change, the area has kept its rural appeal, preserving small communities nestled in between rolling hills and farm land.

On a hilltop in the heart of Officer lies Timbertop Estate, one of Officer’s most established estates. With some of the best views in the area stretching out to Western Port, Timbertop is now home to about 800 people with over 300 homes occupied.

The estate will have around 750 homes upon completion.

Timbertop’s safe, community feel immediately attracted the Manelski family, reminding them of where they grew up.

At Timbertop, residents really know their neighbours, with the residents’ group running regular events including holiday themed events, outdoor cinema nights, and wine and cheese nights to bring residents together and promote safety and friendship.

“There’s heaps to do in the estate on the weekends - you don’t have to move too far from your front door,” Ben Manelski said.

There’s also a new two-hectare neighbourhood park, Hicks Reserve, offering something for everyone including walking tracks, playground equipment and a giant slide for the kids, barbecue facilities and picnic area for Sunday

lunches and a large kickabout area for sport lovers coming soon.

Go for a leisurely stroll and take in stunning views at the lookout areas.

Tucked away in a private corner of the estate, with picture perfect views, Timbertop’s newest release, the Hallmark

release, features a range of block sizes from 448 square metres to 700 square metres to accommodate every family.

Future residents will enjoy views overlooking Officer’s rolling countryside, a future park and D’Angelo Estate Vineyard just next door. This release is

one of the final opportunities to secure land in Timbertop’s growing community, with most of the estate now sold.

Come alive in your dream home and enjoy peaceful country living at its best in Officer - visit timbertopestate.com.au for more information.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE PAYS OFF KR PETERS Real Estate has had huge success in the five short months it has been running in Officer and is extremely proud to be the only agency in town.

KR Peters has been operating since 1982 and has been selling land, developments and established properties in the Cardinia Shire for over 10 years.

This led them to open the office as the market in Officer is one of Melbourne’s newest and fastest growing suburbs.

With Officer awarded best in Victoria for annual investment growth in threebedroom and four-bedroom houses, according to realestate.com.au, it proves the huge potential and demand in the area.

The Savannah estate was a great success with a hot market for land in Officer and at this point demand is

outweighing supply.

Some significant sites currently in development and that have been built have recently sold in both commercial and residential which will include medical facilities, cafes, restaurants and shopping.

Also in development is an upgraded train station just minutes away from the new town centre as well as three proposed schools and sporting facilities catering to Officer’s growing families.

Officer PUTTING OFFICER SOUTH ON THE HOME MAP FORGING new ground in the area, Kaduna Park is the first residential development in Officer South.

Parklea is working in conjunction with Cardinia Shire Council on this development as part of their initiative to extend the growing Officer area.

The estate is set to launch in October and comprises 450 hectares on Cardinia Road, just south of the Pakenham Bypass interchange, with around 700 lots ranging from 400 square metres to 700 square metres, to suit homes and families of every size.

Retaining its country charm, the estate will include extensive parks, gardens, and walking tracks (some along Gum Scrub Creek) as well as the original period homestead and garden for future community use.

Kaduna Park will become a thriving community, with plans for further development adjoining the site, setting a new standard for the area.

Kaduna Park also benefits from the existing amenities nearby offering a selection of schools, shops and transport options.

The estate has received accreditation as an EnviroDevelopment by the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA).

This accreditation forms part of the underlying vision for the development and sets a benchmark for new communities within the Cardinia Shire.

Parklea has been accredited with four EnviroDevelopment leaves and it is envisaged by the time Kaduna Park is released to market it will obtain all six, the first to do so within the Cardinia Shire.

Kaduna Park is the perfect location for families seeking a country escape with the convenience of shops, schools and community centres all just minutes away.

HOME OWNERSHIP IS NOT JUST A DREAM FOR YOUNG BUYERS HOME BUYERS

GUIDE MAT SUCKLING DIRECTOR OF RMS HOMES SAVING for a deposit is the topic of conversation among news media and our politicians.

We are constantly hearing how the market is so unattainable due to sky rocketing house prices, and the difficulty our young people have in saving for a deposit.

Industry leaders have had plenty to say, including a brash young property mogul who has declared young people need to skip the overseas trips and the weekly smashed avocado breakfast to help themselves save enough to purchase a home.

Is he right? Or is he just a precious brat fed from the silver spoon of mum and dad with no real appreciation for the struggle of everyday young Australians?

Each circumstance is unique and different - nothing is necessarily right or wrong.

Yes - there are some things the older generations need to take responsibility for in relation to societal and financial issues we presently face, but relying heavily on the bank of mum and dad to fund our youth out of the ‘affordability crisis’ is not necessarily the right answer.

The most recent Federal Budget proposal of utilising a portion of superannuation as an additional savings

incentive is a good way to encourage strong financial behaviour to assist in saving for a deposit. But there are other things young people can do to help themselves into a home.

From experience, we deal with people from all walks of life who have been exposed to all types of situations and circumstances.

The decisions we make now cannot be blamed on our forefathers - the first step is taking responsibility for our actions. Was buying that $50,000 car without any savings the wise choice for your short-term, medium-term and longterm financial goals? Was taking out that $10,000 credit card to pay for the trip overseas you couldn’t already afford the right move?

Next time you are thinking of unnecessarily upgrading your car or taking out a personal loan to go on a holiday, ask yourself - can I really afford this? Do I really need this? Can I live in my car? Can I afford to save for a house and pay off my personal loan when I get home from my holiday?

If you are answering no - then you are jeopardising your own financial future for short-term pleasure and longterm pain. In order to save for a home, you require discipline, financial maturity and financial responsibility.

Once you get your home, if the need desperately arises to buy the car or go on a holiday you can easily refinance with equity.

The smart money lies in working hard and saving today to get your home, so you can enjoy the rest of your life tomorrow.

HUSBAND AND WIFE’S BUILDING EMPIRE RAWDON Hill sales consultant Jillian Craig tells a delightful story about her boss Geoff Hardie, the owner and founder of the company which has been building homes in the south-east for more than 40 years.

Jillian was showing potential buyers a Rawdon Hill spec home. As they walked towards the front door they spotted a man working in the garden.

“The buyers said ‘we don’t want to interrupt the gardener.’ I said that’s not the gardener, it’s the owner of the company,” said Jillian, laughing.

“Those buyers were so impressed.”

“I’m not an office person,” chipped in Geoff, clearly amused by the anecdote.

Since 1976, Geoff and his wife Sue have overseen the construction of more than 6000 homes throughout the south-east under the Rawdon Hill banner.

The company was named after the Dandenong North street in which Sue and Geoff bought their first home.

“We had a different name picked out but it was taken so our accountant took it upon himself to pick the name. I have to spell it customers all the time,” Geoff said.

Originally from New Zealand, Sue and Geoff came to Australia for an 18 month working holiday in the ’70s. Despite having no qualifications, Geoff got a job in the building industry.

“In those days it was easy to become a builder, you didn’t need a licence or anything. We built our first place in Cranbourne in 1976 and we have really gone from there.”

He chuckles as he recounts the

difference in buyer expectations in the 1970s compared to now.

“People wanted 10 squares, three bedrooms, one bathroom and no garages.

Garages were an extra.

“We sold that place (in Cranbourne) for $27,500 and still made a profit,” he added, laughing.

“Today stamp duty costs more than that.”

Geoff has also seen buyer expectations ratchet up decade by decade.

“It amazes me. There is a lot of talk at the moment about first home buyers struggling to get into places but when they stop and think about it they want everything in the house, that’s why it costs so much.

“Our first house we had we didn’t have carpet on the floors just bare boards because we couldn’t afford it at the time.”

Geoff is also amazed by the speed of the growth that continues to transform the City of Casey and neighbouring Cardinia.

“Oh yes, that has surprised me.

“I have seen it developing over the years, but I didn’t think it would develop as quickly as it has.”

In its early days Rawdon Hill was only allowed to build three houses per year.

Today the company builds 150 homes a year. At its peak more than 300 families each year were handed the keys to their new Rawdon Hill home.

“We pride ourselves on the fact when we finish a house we are prepared to live in it ourselves,” Geoff said.

Geoff and Sue, who is the company

RAWDON HILL OWNER AND FOUNDER GEOFF HARDIE. secretary, employ 22 staff who Geoff describes as “family”.

Jillian Craig, who joined Rawdon Hill nine years ago, agrees.

“I say to people all the time, it’s a family business and it really is. It’s lovely.

You feel like you are part of the family,” she said.

“Geoff knows what is going on in the company all the time.”

Today Geoff has scaled back his involvement, confining himself to site inspections before projects start. He also dabbles in unit development “not as a business but because I enjoy it”.

He said Sue is “trying to get me to retire”.

The couple are “impulsive travellers” and enjoy spending time with their grandchildren, who are five and seven.

On Wednesday afternoons Geoff can be found on the golf course working

PICTURE: GARRY SISSONS on his handicap.

“I’m not sure that I’ll retire for a while, I am happy contributing at the moment.

I do little projects myself within the company structure, unit projects and that sort of thing.”

Near the Rawdon Hill sales office in Berwick Waters, is a half completed house by collapsed builder Watersun Homes.

In contrast, Rawdon Hill continues on a sure financial footing four decades from its humble beginnings in Scott Street, Cranbourne.

Geoff maintains the secret to Rawdon Hill’s success is simple.

“Just be nice,” he said, smiling.

“A hands-on approach also helps.

“I’ve had no regrets over the 40 years, that’s for sure.”

FRANK FACEY REAL ESTATE CELEBRATES 100 YEARS 100 YEARS AGO Francis P. Facey took an inspired leap into the world of real estate and opened his first office in Dandenong.

The company he started as Frank Facey Real Estate grew from modest beginnings to expand into a major force in real estate throughout the South East.

We have been highlighting the Facey history over the past three months, and continue through the decades with our current focus being on major developments made after Frank’s grandson, Andrew Facey, joined the business.

In 1974 Andrew took the reins of what was already a thriving and successful company. Frank and his son Angus had built the business from the ground up and earned an esteemed reputation among their peers and the public. Now it was Andrew’s turn to continue with the Facey tradition of hard work and commitment.

During this time, the South East; from Dandenong and beyond; was experiencing exceptional growth and there was huge demand for residential and commercial development sites.

Frank Facey Real Estate joined the ‘First National Real Estate Network’ in order to provide their clients with a vast array of opportunity and advice.

To this day, the First National banner is still proudly supported by the current organisations and it has proved to be an invaluable advantage for clients.

The office Andrew and his business partner John Archibald opened in 1985 on the corner of Webb Street and the Princes Highway in Narre Warren has gone from strength to strength, successfully transacting many of the most significant land subdivisional sales. To name a few: The Oaks.

Oatlands.

The Elms.

Bryn Mawr.

Ebeli Heights.

· · · · ·

SALE

· Montbrae. · Keysmeadow.

Park. · London It was, of course, not always plain sailing; with the downturn in real estate of the late ’80s - yet through careful management, Frank Facey First National Real Estate continued to grow.

In 1992, the company branched out and bought the Mulgrave office. That year also saw the residential side of the business in Dandenong sold to Michael Hall (Hall and Partners).

During these years, Frank Facey First National attracted the loyalty of many talented young real estate agents and it is a great testament to the company’s pedigree that so many early recruits now play an integral role within the business.

Ross Neilson, Graeme Curtis, Peter Watson, Todd McKenna, Nyall Greene and Allison Holzer, have all remained committed to the success of the business throughout the decades.

In the following months we focus on the part played by past and present members of the Facey extended ‘family’ as the company branches out further to include Neilson and Partners First National, Facey Commercial/Industrial and Parklea.
