Your Life in Lara

Austin is where the best of country and city living converge. Set 15 km north of Geelong amongst golf courses, wetland reserves, and the sweeping views of the You Yangs Regional Park, Lara offers a slower pace of life without sacrificing access to the city. Lara Train Station is just 6 minutes from the estate, putting Southern Cross Station around 50 minutes away, while the M1 Princes Freeway, with three convenient interchanges, makes driving to Melbourne or Geelong equally simple.
Within the estate, linear parkways featuring fitness equipment, a bike skills course, and dedicated walking and cycling tracks encourage an active, outdoor lifestyle for all ages. Lara Village Shopping Centre and Corio Village are both just 6 minutes away for everyday retail, and Lara Lake Primary School, Lara Secondary College, and a range of childcare options are all within the local area. A future primary school, secondary college, community centre, and neighbourhood activity centre are all planned within the Austin growth area, ensuring the community will continue to grow and improve around you for years to come.

Community matters at Austin

Austin occupies a unique position in Lara's story, as one of the first significant master-planned communities to take shape in Lara West, a government-designated growth area earmarked for thousands of new homes, schools, retail, and community infrastructure over the coming decades. Developed by Austinland and marketed by Latitude Real Estate, Austin recorded strong sales even through the pandemic years, a testament to the enduring appeal of Lara as a place to live and raise a family.
With generous blocks, a cleverly designed layout that prioritises safety and liveability, and natural features including open parklands, waterways, and creek frontage lots with views to the You Yangs, Austin delivers the Australian dream of a proper backyard and space to breathe, at a price that still makes sense. For first home buyers, the combination of competitive land pricing, proximity to Geelong, and a designated growth area with significant future infrastructure investment makes Austin one of the most compelling opportunities in Victoria's west. With Simonds Homes' fixed-price packages and lifetime structural guarantee, building here has never been easier..
