Corangamite Shire Mayor Kate Makin said the innovative development was a vibrant, welcoming community surrounded by a stunning natural environment.

“We are around the mid-point of lot sales for Trestle Estate, Timboon,” Cr Makin said.

“Part of the Unlocking Housing Timboon project, this land release incorporates the Key Worker Preferential Access program to help provide new homes for residents and workers in this growing part of the Shire.

“Since mid-2021 Council has re-zoned the land for residential development, carried out subdivision plans and infrastructure works so that land is ready for housing development.

“Agriculture is the foundation of our community and the local economy which supports so many other businesses as well.

“That’s why Council has developed this new estate to create housing opportunities and support the strength and prosperity of our community.”

Blessed by diverse employment opportunities, Timboon is renowned for being a gourmet hub.
