VIVACITY PROPERTY EXPANDS INTO SOUTH AUSTRALIA AS DEMAND GROWS FOR HIGH-QUALITY, LOWER-MAINTENANCE COMMUNITY LIVING

Vivacity Property has entered the South Australian market, establishing its first communities at Goolwa North and Encounter Bay as part of its continued national expansion across Queensland and New South Wales.

The move comes as demand continues to rise for well-located, lower-maintenance living options that offer a strong sense of community, particularly in coastal and lifestyle-driven regions.

Rather than pursuing rapid expansion, Vivacity’s strategy is focused on carefully selecting locations where it can invest for the long term, building on existing communities, enhancing resident experience, and delivering future stages in a measured way.

A considered expansion into South Australia
Vivacity’s entry into South Australia is anchored by:
• Goolwa North, SA: an established 158-home community with approval for a further 170 homes
• Encounter Bay, SA: an approved greenfield site for more than 300 homes in a premium coastal setting

These projects are complemented by continued growth across:

Queensland
• Glenvale, Toowoomba: 210 home community acquired in December, with approval for a further 114 homes
• Coral Cove: Stage 1 now selling
• Fraser Lakes: active development underway
New South Wales, where Vivacity has an established and growing presence

Together, the portfolio now spans 12 communities nationally, with more than 3,000 homes across operating, approved and future stages, currently representing over 1,000 residents and growing.

Long-term ownership, not short-term expansion
Founder and Managing Director Jonathon Mendez said the expansion reflects Vivacity’s long-term approach to building and operating communities.

“We are not short-term developers, we are long-term custodians of communities.
“South Australia is a natural next step for us. Locations like Goolwa and Encounter Bay already have a strong sense of place, and our role is to build on that, carefully, respectfully and over time.
“At Goolwa North in particular, we’re looking forward to investing in the existing community, improving facilities, supporting connection between residents, and thoughtfully delivering the approved expansion to welcome new residents in the years ahead.
“Across every market, our focus is the same: create places where people feel proud to live, supported in their day-to-day lives, and connected to those around them.”

What this means for residents
For existing residents at Goolwa North, Vivacity’s approach is centred on continuity and gradual improvement.

There are no immediate changes to how the community operates. Instead, the focus will be on:

• Listening to residents and understanding what matters most
• Maintaining the character and strengths of the existing community
• Investing in shared spaces and facilities
• Delivering the approved expansion in a staged and considered way

The goal is simple: to enhance what already exists, not disrupt it.

A growing national platform
Vivacity’s expansion into South Australia strengthens a diversified national portfolio spanning New South Wales, Queensland and now South Australia.

For the business, this provides:
• Exposure to a growing segment of the housing market driven by demographic demand
• A pipeline of approved and future stages supporting long-term growth
• Geographic diversification across multiple states
• A model underpinned by long-term ownership

Vivacity continues to pursue opportunities selectively, supported by institutional capital and an integrated platform across acquisition, development and operations.
