The latest stage of Devine's 'Central Park' residential community at Deer Park has almost sold out with only a handful of lots remaining.

Purchasers have been a combination of owner-occupiers and investors, while a number of builders have secured lots and intent to construct homes to sell as complete house-and-land packages.

The remaining lots at 'Central Park' range in size from 300sqm to 700sqm, and are selling from $129,000.

Central Park is a 44 hectare estate bordered by Robinsons and Foley's Roads in the municipality of Brimbank and only 19 kilometres west of the Melbourne CBD.

"It's quite amazing to be able to purchase land so close to the city. When you compare with other states, the cost is significantly less and this gives potential purchasers confidence to buy.

"We have sold more than 240 lots and the demand shows no sign of weakening," said Shane Guymer, Devine Communities' Sales and Marketing Manager in Victoria.

Providing sufficient accommodation to meet Brimbank's population growth is an on-going challenge, with a further 21,000 people expected to move into the municipality over the next decade.

"Brimbank is a really popular area for families because it has more than 20 schools, colleges and university campuses, and an array of shopping, sporting and recreational facilities," Mr Guymer said.

Its popularity is likely to be further enhanced when the $331-Million Deer Park bypass is completed around September 2009. This 9.3km four-lane freeway will run between the Western Highway at Caroline Springs and the Western Ring Road at Sunshine West, greatly reducing travelling times to and from the city, and improving road safety.

The multi-stage 'Central Park' is being created around a major communal park, and will contain children's playgrounds, recreational areas and walkways. Devine has worked closely with urban planners from Brimbank City Council to achieve a successful balance of parkland and built form.

The office hours are Saturday - Thursday, 11am til 5pm. Please contact Central Park Sales office with any enquires on 9449 0623 or visit our website www.devinecommunities.com.au.
