DIVERSITY OF HOUSING

Individuality is key

Orana is set to become the largest community in the South East of Melbourne, featuring over 4,000 homes.

Prospective residents will enjoy a wide array of options, including vacant land, house-and-land packages and townhomes. Partnering with Australia’s leading builders, Orana will offer a wide range of housing types and architectural styles across unique villages, catering to everyone from first-home buyers to upgraders and downsizers.

The Orana Design Guidelines will ensure a high standard of design for all Orana homes, without compromising innovation and architectural diversity. Professionally designed front landscaping and bespoke street tree selection will complement all homes, creating beautiful streetscapes

Orana is very proud to be Victoria’s first masterplanned community to commit to the Homes for Homes initiative, where a percentage of all registered sales proceeds are donated to support and contribute local social housing, helping in the construction of homes for those in need. Balcon Group have also made an initial separate contribution to this program, as part of our dedication to fostering community growth.
