Allera is acting as lead development manager for the strategic acquisition and future development of approximately 267 hectares of land along the Mitchell Highway, located on the fringe of the existing township of Orange. Allera negotiated the acquisition of the site and is leading the planning, rezoning, and masterplanning process for the delivery of a carefully designed, long-term masterplanned community.

The land is currently zoned RU1 under the Orange Local Environmental Plan 2011. To facilitate its transition to urban development, Allera has assembled and is managing a multidisciplinary consultant team to prepare and lodge a Planning Proposal. This includes collaboration with industry-leading urban design practice Hatch Roberts Day and engineering consultants GHD, who are responsible for the overarching vision and urban design framework for the project.

Allera’s scope extends across all planning and approvals matters, delivered through its in-house Allera Planning team. This has included detailed strategic engagement with Council and the preparation of formal submissions in response to Orange City Council’s draft Local Housing Strategy, forming a key part of the project’s early planning pathway.

With an anticipated end value in excess of $1 billion, the proposed masterplanned community is expected to deliver more than 2,000 residential lots, incorporating a diverse mix of lot sizes and housing typologies. The long-term vision includes medium-density housing surrounding a proposed neighbourhood centre, alongside integrated schools, seniors living, sporting facilities, parks, and generous open space. The masterplan is designed to respond sensitively to Orange’s regional character while delivering sustainable growth and essential community infrastructure over time.
