Confidence returns to the Northern Rivers property market with $4.7 million land rush

October 10, 2025 BY

THE Northern Rivers property market is stirring again, with renewed confidence clearest at Banyan Hill, Ballina’s premier land estate by Intrapac Property.

A fortnight of sales momentum has seen more than $3.3 million of land sold at Banyan Hill, alongside a $1.34 million land sale at Aureus, Skennars Head, signalling that buyers are back and ready to build.

“After a quieter period, we’re seeing energy quickly return to the market,” says Maxwell Shifman, CEO of Intrapac Property. “Stabilising interest rates, improved confidence and a genuine shortage of quality land are combining to create real momentum across the region.”

Banyan Hill continues to attract strong local interest, with buyers coming from a wider radius around Ballina.

Many are drawn to the estate’s unique balance of convenience, coast and connection, close to work, schools, the airport and the beach, yet surrounded by open space and coastal calm.

Set between the beach and the hinterland, Banyan Hill offers elevated homesites with sweeping views, generous lot sizes and access to future parks, walkways and cycle paths.

At its heart will be Hilltop Park, a vibrant community space with playgrounds, gardens and shaded lawns designed to bring neighbours together, expected to commence construction in 2026.

To help buyers take the next step, Intrapac is offering the Banyan Build Boost, a $10,000 incentive to support the transition from land purchase to home construction.

With house and land packages under $1 million, eligible buyers are also taking advantage of the Federal Government’s 5 per cent Deposit Scheme.

The Banyan Hill Display Village, featuring homes from Perry Homes, Coral Homes and G.J. Gardner, showcases the latest in coastal living design, with packages starting from $914,113.

There’s more to celebrate with the Banyan Block Party on Saturday October 26, promising a fun-filled afternoon for the whole family with free kids entertainment, food trucks and more.

Come and experience the lifestyle that’s drawing buyers to Banyan Hill, where design meets natural beauty.
