Williams Landing is a recently-built masterplanned residential precinct anchored by Williams Landing station (opened 2013). The suburb represents one of Wyndham's more recent integrated transport-oriented developments. The Section 32 reflects masterplanned-precinct body corporate arrangements, GAIC, and standard Wyndham new-estate considerations.

This guide covers the Section 32 and Contract of Sale issues specific to Williams Landing (postcode 3027, City of Wyndham).

Williams Landing station and masterplanned precinct

Williams Landing station opened in 2013 as a new station on the Werribee line. The surrounding precinct was masterplanned to include a mix of residential, commercial, and retail. Implications:

  • Activity Centre Zone provisions supporting apartment and mixed-use development.

  • Section 173 Agreements recording precinct-management obligations.
  • Multi-OC arrangements for apartment buildings.

GAIC and growth-area framework

Williams Landing sits within the Melbourne Growth Area. GAIC has typically been paid at the original subdivision events.

Heritage Overlay coverage

Heritage Overlay coverage in Williams Landing is minimal — the suburb is post-2010 and not heritage-listed.

Reactive basalt soils

Standard basalt-plain considerations apply.

Off-the-plan and sunset clauses

Many Williams Landing purchases were and continue to be off-the-plan. See our sunset clauses guide for the framework.

Princes Freeway proximity

The Princes Freeway runs along the suburb's northern edge. Properties near the corridor experience continuous traffic noise.

Other Williams Landing-specific contract issues
