Maidment Group launches latest addition to its $1 billion pipeline of regional projects

Queensland developer Maidment Group has officially launched a new land estate that will provide much needed diverse housing to the burgeoning North Queensland city of Townsville. 

The latest addition to its $1 billion pipeline of regional projects, Allendale Estate, will feature 97 new housing lots to an area south of Townsville following the sellout of the company’s Eden Park Estate.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Mt Elliott in Alligator Creek, 20km south of Townsville’s CBD, Allendale Estate is positioned in one of Townsville’s most tightly held and picturesque locations. 

The highly sought-after area offers a unique blend of natural beauty, privacy, and accessibility, making it a premier choice for acreage living in North Queensland. 

“Allendale Estate has been meticulously designed to provide an unparalleled lifestyle opportunity while addressing the increasing demand for premium rural residential housing,” said Glen Maidment, director of Maidment Group. 

“The success of Eden Park demonstrated a strong and sustained demand for acreage living, and Allendale Estate is designed to build on that legacy. 

“With its combination of large, well-appointed lots and proximity to key infrastructure, Allendale represents an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking an exceptional lifestyle investment.” 

Allendale Estate comprises 97 spacious lots ranging from 4,000sqm to 8,971sqm, cementing its position as Townsville’s most premium acreage development. 

With zoning restrictions limiting the future supply of large acreage style lots to the market, Allendale Estate provides a rare opportunity for buyers to secure a large homesite in a highly sought after region of Townsville where the demand for big blocks continues to surge. 

Location, location, location

Positioned within a short drive to Fairfield Central Shopping Centre and major employment hubs, Allendale Estate balances a tranquil country setting with urban convenience.

The new development offers a seamless integration of expansive natural landscapes and modern infrastructure, ensuring residents an enhanced quality of life. 

Maidment Group’s long-standing commitment to sustainable community-focused developments is evident in Allendale’s master-planned design, which provides access to parklands, walking trails, and recreational spaces. 

The estate’s proximity to Alligator Creek swimming areas and national parks further enhances its appeal to buyers seeking an active and nature-orientated lifestyle. 

“Our developments are not just about land sales; they are about creating thriving, sustainable communities,” said Glen. 

“Allendale Estate represents our ongoing investment in the region, delivering an unparalleled residential offering that combines spaces, lifestyle, and long-term value.” 

Market shortage 

However, Glen also stressed that while demand is strong, North Queensland faces a significant housing shortage, highlighting the urgent need for government support in unlocking infrastructure to enable further development. 

“There’s no doubt that the demand for housing is strong, but we are facing a real shortage in the market,” said Glen. 

“We need support with trunk infrastructure delivery here in Townsville and the industry looks forward to the roll out of the State Government trunk infrastructure fund. It would be an absolute game changer for housing delivery in the North”.

“Developers like us are ready to help meet the demand, but we need backing from both local and state governments to unlock further development potential and provide long-term solutions to the housing crisis.” 

With construction set to commence and pre-registered buyers already securing lots, Allendale Estate is poised to set a new benchmark for executive acreage living in North Queensland.
