The first homes in Stage 1 are now under construction, marking an exciting moment for the development as the neighbourhood begins to come to life.

Stage 8 has also reached a major milestone, with civil works complete and titles now registered. We look forward to welcoming an additional 26 new residents to the Hilltops community.

Despite some extreme weather earlier this year, Stages 2 and 3 are continuing to progress well. Essential services are now in place and road construction is underway, while retaining walls are being installed to create flatter, more functional lots for purchasers.

Looking ahead, Stages 4 & 5 have received Council approval and Civil Contract has been awarded to allow works to commence in the coming weeks. Planning is also underway for the community’s future park, with works anticipated to begin later this year. This new green space will provide a central place for residents to relax and connect.

With homes now under construction and new stages progressing, it’s an exciting time at Hilltops as the vision for this thriving community continues to unfold.

Positioned near the entrance to this beautifully connected community, the Town Centre is envisioned as a pedestrian-first precinct where residents can move easily from home to coffee, convenience and connection within minutes. Walkability sits at the core of the design, encouraging a slower pace, spontaneous catchups and a lifestyle shaped around exploration rather than the car.

The Town Centre will feature a carefully curated mix of cafés, a major supermarket operator, approximately 10 speciality retailers, and everyday essentials, all set within thoughtfully designed streetscapes and inviting public spaces.

For those living at Hilltops, this Town Centre will be more than a place to shop or dine; it will become the social heart of the community, a destination that brings people together, supports a walkable lifestyle, and reflects the pride, quality and vision behind Hilltops Birchmore.

Albury City Council has commenced the planning process for the Town Centre, and Birchmore intends to deliver this important community amenity. As plans progress, further details will be shared as this unique, premium destination begins to take shape. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue building the future of this vibrant, growing community.
