Two living areas, and a turnkey list inside the fixed price
Most house-and-land packages just over a million give you four bedrooms and one living room. The Peak – View Line at Heathwood does not: every home here has two living areas — an open-plan living and dining space, plus a separate retreat, study or media room. And the delivery schedule reads longer than a base specification: turf, 1.8 m timber fencing, roller blinds throughout, ducted air conditioning, 3.5 kW of solar, right down to the clothesline and the letterbox, all inside the fixed price. Ausbuild Pty Ltd (QBCC licence 21710) is both developer and builder. Single-storey, four or five bedrooms, 188 to 204 m² of house on 320 to 371 m² of land, from $1,148,800.
The build itself comes with a stopwatch, written into the contract: construction starts within 28 days of land settlement and finishes within 230 days of starting. What is worth another ten minutes is when that stopwatch starts, and what the engineering conditions on these blocks are — because the file does not yet answer either.

What the street next door has actually sold for
The figures below come from the Doolandella & Heathwood section of Ausbuild's *Monthly Market Update, October 2026*, information correct to 28 September 2026, sourced to Cotality, realestate.com.au, the Residential Tenancies Authority and SQM Research. One qualification first: the report's median statistics pages are expressly marked "Doolandella only", so the medians, days on market and vacancy below are Doolandella figures, and for Heathwood we quote only the sales and listings the report actually places in Heathwood.

Put the two groups together and the position is clear. The two August 2026 Heathwood sales were a 2015-built four-bedroom at $1,210,000 and a 2009-built 400 m² home at $1,645,000 — the entry package at $1,148,800 sits below both, and what you get for it is brand new, fixed-price and turnkey. The honest other side: those two sales sat on 448 and 616 m² of land, while these blocks are 320 to 371 m². The difference is in the land.
On rent, this project has no rental appraisal. Working back from the Doolandella median four-bedroom rent of $728 against the entry package gives a gross rental yield of about 3.3%; using the $890 asking rent on the report's five-bedroom Heathwood listing against the dearest package, Lot 17, gives about 3.7%. Both are gross, before rates, insurance and vacancy, and the median includes older stock. The 0.4% vacancy rate says this pocket has no trouble letting — but it remains a growth-first, cash-flow-second suburb.

Three plans, three kinds of household
Prices and areas come from each lot's package price page: Lots 12 and 23 are stamped 22 June 2026, Lot 17 is stamped 27 July 2026. There is no estate-wide price list in the file, so current availability needs written confirmation.
| Lot | Design and facade | Land / house | Land + build | Fixed total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lot 12 | Gilmour · Vogue (4 bed) | 320 / 188 m² | $719,000 + $429,800 | $1,148,800 |
| Lot 23 | Barrett · Prominent (4 bed) | 345 / 188 m² | $755,000 + $433,800 | $1,188,800 |
| Lot 17 | Lyndon · Vogue (5 bed) | 371 / 204 m² | $799,000 + $439,300 | $1,238,300 |
What separates them is not floor area but what the second living area has been used for. The Gilmour on Lot 12 is the four-bedroom entry: a 6.1 × 4.1 m open living and dining space plus a separate retreat, with all three secondary bedrooms at 3.0 × 2.8 m and robed — the second living area goes to the children. The Barrett on Lot 23 spends the same 188 m² differently, buying a separate study at the entry and a media room: a plan drawn for working from home. The Lyndon on Lot 17 is the family flagship: five bedrooms, two living areas, a kitchen with a butler's pantry, a 7.5 m alfresco, and the largest block in the release at 371 m² — the one that suits three generations.
The price pages separate land from build, which is useful: from Lot 12 to Lot 17 the land rises $80,000 while the house rises only $9,500. That eighty thousand is buying 51 m² of land and the fifth bedroom, not better materials.
One basis has to be flagged: the material does not define whether the "home area" of 188 or 204 m² includes the garage, porch and alfresco. Rates per square metre calculated on different bases differ substantially, so settle the basis before comparing.
Choose aspect and position on the block first, then compare prices. Under ninety thousand dollars separates these, and there is no siting plan in the file, so the actual orientation of the living areas and the alfresco cannot be confirmed from the documents — in Brisbane a west-facing alfresco and an east-facing one are two different lives. The street conditions also differ sharply: Lot 12's back yard backs directly onto Blunder Road, a through road, with only a retaining wall and fence between; and Lot 17 fronts roads at both ends, with the package page naming Dominic Place while the disclosure plan shows the 12.5 m main frontage to Wadeville Street — both the address and the driveway side are unresolved. Settle those two before you worry about the eighty-thousand-dollar gap.
Delivery and contract · Ausbuild
The build clock is in the contract; its starting gun is not
Start with the firmest thing: Ausbuild writes its delivery into the contract as three commitments rather than offering them verbally. That is the most valuable part of this project.
Price lock
No price rise and no hidden costs through construction once the contract is signed.
Construction starts within 28 days of land settlement
Counted from completion of the land settlement.
Completion within 230 days of starting
Developer and builder are the same company
Ausbuild Pty Ltd develops the land and builds the house. QBCC licence 21710.
Then there is what has to be obtained before contract. To put it directly: the product and the guarantees here are complete; what is missing is the paperwork on timing and on engineering.
An estimated registration month and the sunset clause
These are still "proposed lots". The reconfiguration was approved by council in December 2025 and final areas are subject to survey registration — but no document states an estimated registration or settlement date. The 230-day guarantee is real; its starting point is not fixed, which makes the sunset clause the buyer's only protection on timing.
Retaining wall and fill documentation
The disclosure plan (JFP Urban Consultants, April 2026) shows these as engineered fill lots with retaining walls of 1.65 to 2 m — at the rear on Lots 12 and 23, at the street on Lot 17 — and the "depth of fill" fields on the plan are all left blank. Request the Level 1 fill report (AS 3798-2007), and establish who builds and who maintains the walls.
The siting plan
None of the homes has one, so orientation cannot be confirmed.
Which inclusions schedule the contract uses
The standard inclusions booklets are different print versions with material differences in screens and locks: Lot 17 (printed 14 April 2026) has perforated aluminium security screens to all openings and a single-cylinder deadbolt; Lots 12 and 23 have diamond-grille barrier screens (Screenguard to the front window only) and double-cylinder deadbolts, and the dishwasher models differ.
Covenant and community charges
What the covenant and building guidelines restrict on fencing, facades and later additions, and whether any community charge applies, sits in the disclosure documents the masterplan points to.
Whether the guarantees apply
Confirm that these packages qualify as "eligible Tenant Ready House and Land packages" in Ausbuild's own wording — that is the condition on which the three guarantees rest.
On holding costs: these are freehold lots and no body corporate figure appears anywhere in the documents; council rates are unpublished. The homes use gas hot water and a gas cooktop, so a gas connection is a cost to budget separately. The price pages' land/build split is exactly the figure a solicitor needs for transfer duty and a broker needs to structure a two-stage loan; any concession depends on your circumstances and has to be confirmed by a licensed adviser.
One more thing, on whether this is the last release: the plans in the folder say "Release 2", a LinkedIn post of 28 June 2026 says "final release now selling", and Ausbuild's website says "latest release". Three versions coexist, and we are not treating scarcity as an established fact — if it would change your decision, get Ausbuild's confirmation in writing first.
Turnkey standard · Ausbuild
Turnkey is the standard, not the upgrade
This schedule is the most substantial part of the project, and all of it is standard rather than an upgrade:
- Turf
- 1.8 m timber fencing
- Roller blinds throughout
- Ducted air conditioning
- 3.5 kW solar
- 2590 mm ceilings throughout, including garage and alfresco
- 20 mm Dekton benchtops
- 900 mm Westinghouse five-burner gas cooktop
- TRUECORE steel frame
- Colorbond roof
- R4.1 ceiling and R2.0 wall insulation
- Clothesline and letterbox
For an owner-occupier that means no second round of fit-out: air conditioning, blinds, turf and fencing are all inside the fixed price. Two items are worth singling out. The 2590 mm ceiling height applies throughout, garage and alfresco included — uncommon at this price. And R4.1 ceiling plus R2.0 wall insulation with 3.5 kW of solar means the summer electricity bill is a different proposition from an older house at the same price. Each home's internal colour scheme is already selected, which removes the selections appointment but also means asking first whether a change is possible.
For an investor, the direct value of a turnkey standard is that the home can go to a property manager on handover with no further spend. But be honest: there is no rental appraisal, and the 3.3% to 3.7% gross above is our own calculation from regional median rents, not the project's own figure.
On the builder: Ausbuild is a Queensland family company founded by the Bell family in 1988, developing land and building homes. Public ratings diverge by platform — Google at about 4.2 stars from around 219 reviews via third-party aggregators (August 2026), and ProductReview at 3.8 stars from 50 — and all of those are company-level figures, not this project's.

- Schools, retail and lakeside parkland

Every line in that table is the developer's own wording, and this has to be said plainly: the package documents themselves name no school, no supermarket, no bus route and no park. The staging masterplan goes further and states that the footpaths, open space, parks, playgrounds and street trees drawn on it are "indicative only and may differ from the final outcome". A third-party marketing page also puts the CBD at "less than 18 km", which coexists with the developer's 30 minutes; we quote only the developer's figure and attribute it.
For a family buying for education that means the catchment has no written answer at all — no document names a school, let alone confirms a catchment. Catchments are set by the Department of Education and change, so there is only one reliable step: take the contract address to the Queensland Government's EdMap and check the catchment for the year the child actually enrols, before paying for "close to schools".
What can be added is regional context: the report's two August 2026 Heathwood sales ran from $1.21m to $1.645m, a five-bedroom Heathwood rental was listed at $890 a week in September, and neighbouring Doolandella's vacancy rate is 0.4%. That describes a southside pocket with real demand. It does not describe what is within walking distance of these particular blocks.
Who it suits · View Line
Who it suits, and who should think again
It suits a household that needs two living areas — older children who need their own space, or someone working from home permanently; every plan here draws the second living area in. It suits a buyer who wants five bedrooms and a butler's pantry for three generations under one roof (Lot 17). And it suits a buyer who values turnkey: turf, fencing, blinds, air conditioning and solar are all inside the fixed price, the home is ready to live in or let on handover, and the 28-day start and 230-day completion are contractual.
Think again if you need a move-in date — no document states an estimated registration or settlement date, so the 230-day clock has no fixed starting gun. Think again if engineering conditions matter to you: these are engineered fill lots with 1.65 to 2 m retaining walls and the depth-of-fill fields are blank. Think again if aspect matters, because with no siting plan the orientation of the living areas and alfresco cannot be confirmed. Think again if you want a quiet back yard — Lot 12's rear boundary is Blunder Road. Think again if you are chasing cash flow, since regional median rents imply only around 3.3% gross. And think again before treating "final release" as fact, because three different versions of that claim currently coexist.

FAQ · View Line
The four questions buyers ask
If I buy now, when do I get the house?
The build is contractually guaranteed: construction starts within 28 days of land settlement and finishes within 230 days of starting. But no document states an estimated registration or settlement date, so a handover date cannot be calculated yet. That is the first thing to get in writing before contract, and the sunset clause needs a solicitor's reading alongside it.
What rent can I expect?
There is no rental appraisal for this project. Working back from the Doolandella median four-bedroom rent of $728 against the entry package gives about 3.3% gross; using the $890 asking rent on the report's five-bedroom Heathwood listing against Lot 17 gives about 3.7%. Vacancy is 0.4%. Both are gross, before rates, insurance and vacancy.
What should I watch on the engineering of these blocks?
Each one is an engineered fill lot with a retaining wall of 1.65 to 2 m — at the rear on Lots 12 and 23, at the street on Lot 17 — and the "depth of fill" fields on the disclosure plan are all blank. Request the Level 1 fill report (AS 3798-2007) and establish who builds and who maintains the walls. An easement is also annotated near Lot 17 on the plan; confirm whether it affects that lot.
Who is it for?
A household that needs two living areas; a buyer who wants five bedrooms and a butler's pantry for three generations; and an owner-occupier who values the turnkey standard and the 28-day / 230-day build guarantee and can accept that the land registration date is not yet fixed.
