Rivermont breaks ground: Stockland’s most affordable Queensland community takes shape in Waraba
Stockland has officially broken ground on Rivermont, a 175-hectare masterplanned community in Waraba, South East Queensland. With plans for more than 2,000 new homes, Rivermont is set to generate over $573 million for the Queensland economy during construction, and offer Stockland’s most affordable land in the state – with prices starting at $293,500*.
Rivermont SOD turn on 27 March 2025, L-R: Adrian Allen, Stockland Development Director for Queensland Communities, Peter Flannery, Mayor of City of Moreton Bay, The Hon. Jarrod Bleijie MP, Deputy Premier, Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning and Minister for Industrial Relations, David Laner, Stockland General Manager for Queensland Development.
Stockland General Manager QLD Development, David Laner, said Rivermont will play a crucial role in addressing housing supply in Queensland.
“Stockland has a proven record creating vibrant and connected communities in Queensland. The Rivermont community will provide around 2,000 homes that cater to first homebuyers through to those looking to downsize, and residents will be close to future proposed amenities like shops and childcare and the existing amenities in Caboolture and Morayfield,” Mr Laner said.
“For us, it’s about increasing the supply of aspirational and attainable homes with the right infrastructure in place that will support the growing community and the Queensland Government’s housing targets.”

A major milestone for Waraba’s growth
The Deputy Premier, Jarrod Bleijie, attended the sod turn event, highlighting the significance of Rivermont in Queensland’s housing future.
“Queenslanders voted for a fresh start and the LNP’s bold 20-year housing plan to build the homes for Queensland’s future,” Mr Bleijie said.
“The combination of new developments, like Rivermont with the Queensland Government’s abolishment of stamp duty on new homes for first home buyers and our $2 billion Residential Activation Fund, will deliver more places for Queenslanders to call home.
“Under the new LNP Government, Queensland is open for business, and we are getting on with the job of housing delivery.”

Also in attendance was City of Moreton Bay Mayor, Peter Flannery, who said it’s no surprise people are flocking to the region with its affordable housing and lifestyle benefits.
“I’m pleased that Council’s collaborative approach has enabled even more housing to be developed,” Mr Flannery said.
“Waraba as a whole will address much-needed housing supply for City of Moreton Bay, ensuring a diversity of housing product to meet the demand of our growing population, ease the current housing crisis, and appeals to people’s housing preferences. I look forward to welcoming the new residents of Rivermont to City of Moreton Bay.”
