First Caerleon lots on track for registration
Homes in Caerleon estate could be occupied by Christmas time with lots in the first stage on track for registration in May.
The residential urban release has been a hive of activity since September last year when contractors moved on site to construct infrastructure.
Half of the first stage has sold with owner-builders anticipated to begin construction in July/August.
'We're excited and looking forward to the registration of lots in May,' developer Nathan Davis said.
Landscaping will begin in March with established trees to be planted alongside installed irrigation systems.
Two-hundred and sixty-seven DA approved lots will be release on the site in the first four or five stages.
'I think the timing is right with the take-in of jobs from the mining industry and tree-changers moving to town,' developer Troy Turner added.
The development incorporates plans for a 'town centre' to include a child care facility, supermarket, medical centre, oval, skate park, basketball courts and retail shops.
A retirement village is also slated for construction along with open spaces, playgrounds and open space park lands.
'There's nothing of this scale been done in Mudgee before,' Mr Davis said.
The second stage will include 65 assisted living villas for over 55s expected to be constructed later this year1 .

Mudgee's first master-planned community, Caerleon, was officially opened on Tuesday by Member for Dubbo Troy Grant and Mayor Des Kennedy.
Mr Grant cut the ribbon to mark the release of the first 56 lots of the development, which is planned to include an over 55s living development, childcare centre and shops, and extensive open spaces and playgrounds adjoining restaurants and cafes.
Caerleon director Nathan Davis said the entire estate represented a huge investment by developers and home owners over the next 10 to 20 years.
Two-hundred and sixty-seven DA approved lots will be released on the site in the first four or five stages.
With half of the first stage already sold, the first residents of the estate are expected to move into their new homes before Christmas.
A development application for a villas for over 55s is currently before Mid-Western Regional Council, Mr Davis said.
'It's exciting after four years of hard work to get here, but it has been well worth the wait,' Mr Davis said.
Mr Grant said the investment in the Caerleon development showed confidence in the Mudgee and Central Western region.
Mr Grant said he was particularly impressed with was that NBN connectivity has been incorporated into planning of the subdivision.
'We get told about the strength of the economy and to see what it translates into is a sign of confidence in the direction and policy settings for of our government,' he said2 .
