Build update - Central Townhouses

Construction of the Central Townhouses is progressing well.

Framing for the 12 new Central townhouses is nearing completion with installation of the brickwork and timber cladding underway.

The first homes are expected to finish by the end of 2025, with all Central homes scheduled for completion by March 2026.

The design and material selections by Breathe for The Village homes have been guided by a commitment to enduring quality and environmental responsibility.

The build has been supported by close collaboration between Hygge, architect Breathe and Ballarat-based builder Langdon. Regular site inspections are taking place, ensuring overall design integrity and detail is maintained.

With the build taking shape, the use of authentic, tactile materials with natural finishes is becoming apparent.

Exterior highlights include the blonde austral bricks (a certified carbon neutral product) and the Australian blackbutt timber cladding, both chosen for longevity and natural texture (facade images above).

The internal concrete mix incorporates 30% fly ash, a recycled by-product replacing a portion of cement, reducing embodied carbon while maintaining strength and performance.

Next Steps - internal fittings are being installed in the more advanced homes, with landscaping works set to commence in the coming weeks.
