Cedar Woods, AVJennings List Significant School Site

A prime 10ha parcel of land, strategically planned for the largest designated non-government school site in Melbourne, has been released for sale by prominent ASX-listed developers, Cedar Woods and AVJennings.

Spanning across the well-established land communities of Lyndarum North by AVJennings and Mason Quarter by Cedar Woods, the school site offers a unique opportunity to pioneer educational excellence in a thriving environment, positioned in the rapidly expanding growth corridor of Wollert.

With a projected population of around 35,000 residents in Wollert by 2041 and an anticipated catchment of more than 60,000 school-aged children, the potential impact of this development is significant.

The project success of the private school site complements recent data from the Australia Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), showing the increased need for additional schools in Melbourne’s booming northern growth corridors—with nearby private school, Edgars Creek Secondary College, being Northern Melbourne’s fastest-growing school in the state with enrolments increasing by 1041 per cent in the five years from 2018 to 2022.

Acute need


As part of their commitment to growing thriving communities, Cedar Woods’ Victorian state manager, James Bovell, said that the Wollert community had an acute need for the educational capacity this planned site would provide.

“At Cedar Woods, we are always striving to meet the needs of our growing communities. We have seen huge population growth in the Wollert area and the pressure this has created for parents looking for a local private school. We are confident that this development will be able to fill these demands as the site is one of the largest designated non-government school sites in Melbourne. This is a fantastic opportunity for the right buyer to shape the future of education while contributing to this vibrant and rapidly developing community,” Bovell said.

Located in the heart of Melbourne’s burgeoning northern growth corridor, Wollert serves as a natural extension of Epping and has emerged as a vibrant community with a current population exceeding 25,000. Its strategic connectivity to the wider northern region of Melbourne positions the future school perfectly to draw students from a broad area.

Essential amenities


Adjacent to the future Major Town Centre, the school site offers easy access to essential amenities. Envisioned to feature supermarkets, department stores, specialty shops, entertainment venues and dining options, this bustling precinct will also host a large community facility, potentially housing a library, indoor leisure centre and kindergarten.

The site also neighbours the proposed East Wollert Sports Reserve, a sprawling community facility slated to include multiple AFL ovals, netball courts, and cricket nets. Additionally, the site’s proximity to the proposed Wollert Train Station, with a direct rail corridor extending from the South Morang Line at Lalor station through Epping to the Wollert Major Town Centre, will ensure convenient accessibility for future students, staff, and visitors alike.

Key player


RPM Group national strategy manager Tim Hyland said that securing the Wollert Private School site would mean becoming a key player in shaping the educational landscape of the northern corridor.

“This strategically positioned 10ha parcel is not only about meeting the demands of a rapidly developing area but also about contributing to sustainable growth. With adjacent future facilities like the Major Town Centre, East Wollert Sports Reserve, and the proposed Epping North Public Transport Corridor, this site offers a rare and holistic opportunity for visionary education investment.”

The official expressions-of-interest period led by RPM Group for the private school site began this week.
