As regional Victoria continues to grow, Bisinella Developments is setting a new benchmark for liveable urban design with its newest residential community, Flinders Walk Estate in Lara.
Inspired by the Victorian Government’s 20-Minute Neighbourhood framework, the 48-lot estate showcases planning excellence - fostering a connected, convenient and community-focused way of living.
The 20-Minute Neighbourhood model, part of the Plan Melbourne 2017–2050 long-term strategy, promotes the idea of ‘living locally’. It aims to create neighbourhoods where residents can meet most of their everyday needs within a 20-minute walk from home.
This includes access to schools, shops, parks, healthcare, and public transport - all without the need for long commutes or car dependency.
Flinders Walk has been strategically designed to bring this vision to life. Located within an established infrastructure network and just a short drive from Geelong and the You Yangs, the estate offers future residents a high-quality living environment supported by essential local services.
“Creating communities where people can live, work and thrive locally is at the heart of our vision for Flinders Walk,” said Bisinella Developments Director Richard Bisinella.
“Flinders Walk offers not just quality homes, but walkable access to everyday essentials, delivering on the promise of a truly liveable neighbourhood.”
Residents will benefit from proximity to both primary and secondary schools, helping to make the school drop-off simple and stress-free.
The estate’s location near existing medical centres and retail precincts adds further convenience, reducing the need for residents to travel far to access services.
Public transport is also a key feature of Flinders Walk, with the estate offering easy access to Lara train station and nearby bus routes.
Alternatively, Flinders Walk is just a 20-minute drive from the Geelong CBD and one hour from Melbourne via the Princes Highway.
Parks, walking trails and open spaces have also been integrated into the estate’s design, promoting healthy, active lifestyles and encouraging community interaction.
Its prime position alongside Kevin Hoffman Walk and Flinders Reserve gives residents direct access to scenic parklands and the picturesque Hovell’s Creek trail network.
Construction on the estate officially commenced in July 2025 and is progressing on schedule, with the first stage of land titles expected in December 2025.
As works advance, interest from homebuyers continues to grow, driven by the appeal of a walkable, well-connected community designed for modern living.
Flinders Walk builds on Bisinella’s strong track record of delivering high-quality communities across Lara and the wider Geelong region.
With a focus on sustainability, liveability and long-term value, Bisinella remains at the forefront of regional development.
By embracing the principles of the 20-minute Nighbourhood, Flinders Walk is more than just a place to live - it reflects Bisinella’s commitment to creating vibrant communities that support the evolving needs of modern families.
