Developer Spotlight
Calderwood Valley by Stockland
Tucked between the Illawarra Escarpment and the Shellharbour coastline, Calderwood Valley is one of the largest masterplanned communities in the region. 14km from the beaches at Shellharbour. 25km from Wollongong. Three distinct precincts (Oakvale, The Fields and The Valley), each with their own character.
What stands out about Calderwood Valley:
Established schools, parks, cycling and walking trails already in the ground from day one.
Diverse land sizes, including elevated lots with genuine escarpment views.
The new Calderwood Village shopping precinct underway, bringing daily essentials even closer.
A masterplan designed for families to put down roots and grow.
If you`ve been watching Calderwood Valley unfold and wondering what`s possible there, we currently have two house and land packages available. Send us a message or get in touch with our team to talk them through.

Love Your Location, Ready for a Fresh Start?
A knockdown rebuild gives you the chance to create a home that feels completely yours, without leaving the neighbourhood you already know and love.
With flexible design options, you can build for how you actually live: whether that`s multigenerational living with space for extended family, room to grow as your needs change, or a layout that finally works the way you want it to.
From site assessment and planning to approvals, demolition and construction, our team is here to guide you through every step with care and clarity.
With the right support, the process can feel a whole lot simpler and a lot more exciting than you might think.
Get in touch with us to learn more about how a knockdown rebuild could work for your block and your vision.
Four offices, one united team.

A recent handover for one of our builds.
Handover days are such incredible moments. Every plan, every site visit, every decision made was heading towards this point. We couldn`t be happier for this wonderful young couple, starting their home-owners journey together.
The Edgecliff design is a brilliant blend of everything - featuring a well-planned layout with open plan kitchen, family and dining spaces making effortless connections to the entire home. With multiple living areas, options of space, privacy and endless additions for functional entertaining.
These rooms will finally hold the life they were designed for. The house becomes a home.
To every client who gets to walk through their own front door for the first time - there`s no feeling like it, and we love being able to give that to you!
Four offices, one united team.

Something special is coming this winter.
Sara Dining, the new farm-to-table restaurant from former Icebergs chef Alex Prichard, is opening in Berry - and from what we’ve seen so far, it’s going to be worth the wait.
Set on a beautiful property with kitchen gardens, outdoor dining spaces, and that signature South Coast charm, Sara is the kind of place that reminds you why this region continues to draw people in. Good food, local produce, and a setting that makes the most of what we’ve got right here.
If you’ve been thinking about making the move to the South Coast, this is just one more reason why now’s the time. The region is growing, the community is strong, and there’s something genuinely exciting happening here.
We cannot wait to see Sara open its doors!
