Leading developer Devine Limited has released another integrated housing community in South-East Queensland's greater western corridor.

'Cedar View' will consist of 157 allotments within a 12-hectare estate between Penrose Circuit and Walden Street at Redbank Plains.

The first 18 house and land packages have just been released, starting from $279,000.

Meticulously designed by Devine's in-house architects, all homes have functional layouts to maximise the amount of useable space, and an easy-care front and rear yard.

The average block in the first release at 'Cedar View' is 545sqm, providing plenty of space for the variety of home designs.

'Cedar View' has a major 3.2ha central park, adding to its attractiveness for families. Convenience is also a key, with Redbank Plaza just minutes away, and the massive Orion Town Shopping Centre 5.5km to the east.

"There are good schooling options nearby, including the Springfield campus of the University of Southern Queensland," said Scott McIntosh, Queensland State Manager of Housing & Land for Devine.

Redbank Plains is 26 kilometres south-west of the Brisbane GPO and nine kilometres east of the Ipswich GPO. It is in an important growth corridor for business, with major employers Ipswich Aerospace Industry and Swanbank Paper Plant nearby. "This is helping to drive demand for residential accommodation, and we know 'Cedar View' will be popular among first and second home buyers," said Mr McIntosh.

Devine has a proven track record in the western corridor, having had great success with its 180-block 'Collingwood Park' estate. It has also secured a massive site on School Road in Redbank Plains capable of yielding almost 600 dwellings, which includes a potential rail link to Springfield and the local commercial precinct.

"Devine is a committed supporter of both the Queensland Government's Western Growth Corridor strategy and Ipswich City Council's draft Strategic Plan," said Mr McIntosh. "Improving infrastructure - including transport links, major employment opportunities, and localised services and amenities - combined with affordable land will provide very attractive home buying opportunities.

"There is a continuing pent-up demand for new homes within family affordable price points, and Devine is focused on providing community estates which people want to call home to meet this value for money market demand," said Mr McIntosh.

'Cedar View' at Penrose Circuit, Redbank Plains (UBD Map Ref: 235 H10) is open for inspection daily from 10am to 5pm. More information is available on 13 24 66, or www.devine.com.au
