2016 Completed Village

This year we expect to complete construction of Palmview Village which will be excitingly progressive and reflective at the same time! On December 3rd, 2002 Mayor of Mackay Julie Boyd turned the first sod to commence work on Palmview Village, and now we are nearly there! We presently have 198 units completed and there will be 204 when the last six have been completed, which in turn completes not only the Village structure but also our populated community.

An overview of our population at the moment includes 270 Residents occupying 186 homes. We have 10 homes vacant with one currently undergoing reinstatement.

If you know of anybody thinking of making a lifestyle change for the new year we are always welcoming the opportunity to show off our community and our available homes. For those who like some info before making the “contact” step below are some of our frequently asked Question and Answers.
