Development Victoria and Sienna Homes have kicked off civil works at the Olio housing development in Officer, preparing for the construction of 135 homes as part of Stage 2 of the project, adding to the 93 homes that are already being delivered as part of Stage 1.
Built by Sienna Homes, 35 homes are already officially complete as part of Stage 1 with the final homes for this stage set to be completed in late 2024.
A key attraction of Olio has been the Priority Access scheme, which increases the supply of homes suitable to various budgets by allowing those eligible for affordable housing a chance to purchase homes before they are offered to the general public.
A range of buyers have already expressed interest in living within the Olio development, including first home buyers, growing families and downsizers.
Featuring new two, three or four bedroom townhomes, the development is located on the corner of Bridge Road and Coxon Street, with close proximity to One Centre Square and the Officer train station.
Pakenham MP Emma Vulin said the development would allow more housing opportunities in a quickly developing area.
“By delivering more housing to the fast-growing suburb of Officer, we are creating more opportunities for Victorians to own their own home,” she said.
