A GROWING FAMILY CATCHMENT

Gisborne’s role as a regional shopping and service destination creates opportunities to serve families from Gisborne and New Gisborne, together with surrounding communities including Macedon, Mount Macedon and Riddells Creek.

Council’s 2023 planning model projects New Gisborne’s population from 2,635 in 2023 to 4,860 by 2036, approximately 84% growth. The Willowbank planning area is projected to grow from 3,940 to 5,570 over the same period, approximately 41% growth.

Residential projects supporting the wider family catchment include Rosalia in Gisborne, advertising approximately 750 total homes; Cathlaw on Ferrier in New Gisborne, approximately 181 total homes; and Nowadays in Gisborne, 29 blocks. Willow Estate, advertised as sold out with approximately 615 total homes, provides further context for the area’s established residential growth. These figures describe total project sizes, not remaining lots or occupied homes.

Across the Macedon Ranges, the population forecast rises from 56,749 in 2026 to 75,303 in 2046, approximately 32.7% growth.

CENTRAL CONVENIENCE

Aitken Street provides a central location for families combining childcare with school drop-off, work, shopping and medical appointments.
