Epiq development reaches completion as Clarence Property eyes new projects

CLARENCE Property has completed its decade-long Epiq development in Lennox Head, with the final housing lot now under offer.

The project has delivered more than 450 residential lots alongside vital community infrastructure.

Clarence Property CEO Simon Kennedy said Epiq had played a key role in meeting the region’s housing needs while delivering long-term benefits to the community.

“The $250 million Epiq project has delivered a neighbourhood shopping centre, childcare centre, and high-quality sporting fields with amenities, and will soon add a new primary school to the area,” Mr Kennedy said.

“We are continuing to seek new opportunities across the North Coast, with plans already underway for developments in Woolgoolga, Coffs Harbour, Brunswick Heads, and Yamba.”

Mr Kennedy said Epiq Lennox had showcased the company’s capacity to deliver large-scale community infrastructure and housing.

“Epiq Lennox has contributed to a high-quality community for residents, stimulated economic growth, created jobs, and supported local businesses,” he said.

“Clarence Property founder, Peter Fahey, had an incredible vision for Epiq Lennox 10 years ago and through a lot of hard work it’s now a great example of what can be achieved when working collaboratively with local and state government to affect positive change.”

The heart of the development, Epiq Marketplace, has become a vital retail hub for locals and holidaymakers.

Anchored by Woolworths, BWS, and Chempro, it has experienced strong demand, prompting further retail and office space construction to meet the area’s growing needs.

A new tavern, located on a 5,595m² site with development approval and a hotel license, is also planned.

“We’re well aware of the critical need for more housing in the region and that’s why we are actively pursuing further opportunities in the areas between Coffs Harbour and the Tweed border to deliver communities that align with the evolving needs of residents and businesses,” Mr Kennedy said.

Clarence Property manages more than $820 million in assets, spanning residential, retail, commercial, and industrial properties.

Its focus on community-driven developments ensures lasting value for residents, businesses, and the company’s 1,700-plus investors, most of whom are locals from Northern NSW.

“By investing in growing communities, Clarence Property not only delivers strong returns for its investors but also contributes to the long-term prosperity of the regions where they live, work, and play,” Mr Kennedy said.

With housing supply constrained and demand rising, the company is set to play a leading role in shaping the future of the North Coast—developing vibrant communities that enhance liveability, drive economic growth, and support sustainable development.
