Waraba’s first ever residents move in
MORETON Bay’s new city of Waraba has officially welcomed its first residents, on July 26, with Callum and Nina Richter, and dog Harper, having picked up the keys and moved into their dream home at Lilywood Landings.
The couple, who were previously renting in Chermside West, are thrilled to be crowned the first settlers of the region following the completion of their new home.
“It’s really exciting to think we are the first homeowners to move in,” Nina, 28, said.
“It might be a bit quiet for a few weeks with just a few of us here, but we can’t wait to meet our new neighbours when they join us.”
Nina and Callum chose the community for its affordability and location. With family on the Sunshine Coast and work in Brisbane, they are now positioned to enjoy both locations.
Callum, 29, said he couldn’t wait to settle in.
“It’s going to be fantastic to not have to pay someone else’s mortgage anymore,” he said. “There is so much to celebrate.”
Dozens of other families and first-home buyers are now just weeks away from moving in and will soon join Callum and Nina.
Lennium Group Development Manager Ian Worthington said welcoming the Richters to Lilywood Landings was a milestone moment for the new community and the new city of Waraba.
“This is the beginning of a brand-new city and it’s incredibly special to see our very first residents moving in,” he said.
Formerly known as Caboolture West, Waraba will eventually supply around 30,000 homes plus schools, parks, sporting fields and a town centre for an expected population of 70,000 people.
