Peet is expanding its established Aston community with 1000 new homes, with sales set to open on Saturday 1 August.
Located in Craigieburn, 30km north of the Melbourne CBD, this 60-hectare masterplan seamlessly integrates into the established Aston community, providing customers with a direct connection to local amenities. Since the community was established 16 years ago, Aston has become known for its family-friendly design and active local community.
Buyers will be within walking distance of Elevation Secondary College, Aston Fields sporting precinct, and Aston Reserve – home to the Craigieburn City Football Club. Aitken Creek Primary School and Craigieburn Central shopping centre are a short drive away, with nearby Craigieburn Station providing access to Melbourne’s CBD.
The new stage is expected to introduce the community to a new generation of buyers, while offering an opportunity for existing residents to upgrade into a new home within their current neighbourhood. Peet Development Director Victoria Leavold said the expansion would offer residents a new home with a built-in community where life starts now, not years away.
“We’re seeing strong interest from upgraders after larger lots, as well as downsizers looking at smaller lots. What they have in common is they don’t want to compromise on lifestyle while they wait for a suburb to catch up,” Ms Leavold said. “Buyers want a community that already has a school that their kids can walk to, sporting clubs they can join on the weekend, and shops nearby. That’s what Aston offers — a masterplanned community designed around people, creating opportunities for connection that enhance everyday life.”
The new neighbourhood is designed around its natural setting, with mature river red gums retained across the site and a lush linear park, the Greenline, connecting open green spaces and wetlands. These green links give residents shared places to meet, walk and gather, extending the sense of community connection that defines Aston.
That quality of community design is part of a track record that spans more than 70 industry awards for Peet, with Aston being awarded UDIA Victoria Best Masterplanned Development in 2020.
Ms Leavold said the community-centred design around shared natural spaces and a sporting precinct was a deliberate nod to families looking for active open space in an increasingly completed suburb.
“As the surrounding suburb continues to build, finding large, active open spaces is becoming a priority for families,” Ms Leavold said. “By centring this new phase around these green corridors and recreation areas, we’re making sure residents can enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle while staying in the heart of Craigieburn.”
