Choose your own adventure: a brand new Frasers Property neighbourhood comes to New Beith

A new community nestled against the contours of Round Mountain is set to emerge in South East Queensland. With leafy trails, hectares of open space, and a dedication to hyperlocal living, this exciting New Beith community will be a place where kids roam free, and grownups reconnect with nature.

Brisbane’s growth over the past few years has been nothing short of remarkable, and it’s no surprise that the sunny embrace of South East Queensland continues to be a popular choice for those seeking a change of pace.

Historically, Brisbanites seeking a better lifestyle balance have flocked to the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast to enjoy the daily restorative properties of the great outdoors. But the rising cost of living has many looking inland for more affordable options that combine convenient access to local amenities with the peace and tranquillity of a more idyllic setting. That’s where Frasers Property Australia’s latest project in New Beith comes in.

Nestled at the foot of Round Mountain, this new community promises a unique blend of nature immersion and modern living. A series of walkable and connected villages will eventually be home to a little over 2,000 families, a community hub and village green, a proposed primary school and district sporting field, plus more than 90 hectares of open space.

Thoughtful and site-sensitive urban design will ensure that the neighbourhood blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings, creating a harmonious balance between human habitation and the unfiltered beauty of the Australian landscape.

Working with Frasers Property to develop the masterplan for the new project, Urbis Landscape Architect, Cindy Pester, points to the lush native foliage that covers the site as a driving force of the new neighbourhood design.

“A rugged natural landscape in the heart of New Beith, Round Mountain embodies the idyllic nature of the Australian acreage lifestyle,” says Cindy. “This community will be the jewel in the region, cradled by green, united by a mountain with smaller villages that take on their own identities.

Embracing the landscape

Standing at an elevation of 154m above sea level, Round Mountain rises above the nearby town of New Beith, 47km south west of Brisbane and 70km from the Gold Coast. With a rugged natural landscape, the mountain will be the centrepiece of the new neighbourhood design.

Scott Ullman, QLD General Manager Development for Frasers Property Australia is guiding a vision for the new community that instead of imposing itself on the landscape, is designed to work with it. “We really wanted to create a sense of place, a community that feels grounded in its natural environment,” says Scott. “There will be winding trails that follow the natural contours of the land, green corridors that connect different parts of the neighbourhood making it easy to walk everywhere, and amenities that feel genuinely local.”

One of the key themes for this new community is the idea of ‘choosing your own adventure.’ For families with kids, this could mean mountain bike riding, splashing in the creek, or exploring hidden trails. “We want to encourage a sense of wonder and exploration,” says Scott. “Kids need space to roam and discover, and this community will provide that in spades.”

But it’s not just about the kids. Adults will also find plenty of opportunities to connect with nature, whether it’s through leisurely walks along shaded paths, learning about the native species that make the area home, or simply relaxing in the beautiful surroundings.

Community connection

Key to Frasers Property’s plans for the New Beith development is the creation of a neighbourhood precinct in the heart of the community which will offer a place to meet, relax, shop, and spend time together. Overlooking a planned village green, this will be the spot for watching the kids play while enjoying a meal and time spent with friends.

“Every great community needs a central hub, a place where people can come together and connect,” says Scott.

“Connected to the future village green, we’re planning a space that will feel hyper-local and truly ‘of the neighbourhood’. A place to grab a coffee, meet friends, or let the kids expend some energy. Over time we imagine that the community will come together on the green to enjoy movies under the stars, weekend markets, or food truck nights. The key is to create the space and let the community evolve what they want from it.”

Excitement is building for this new community in New Beith. Construction has commenced on the Sales and Display Centre, which will give prospective buyers a taste of what’s to come. Road upgrades and bridge works will soon be underway, ensuring easy access to the new neighbourhood. Pending approvals, the project is anticipated to launch in late 2025.

“We’re working hard to ensure a smooth launch,” says Scott. “We can’t wait to welcome the first residents and see this community come to life.”
