Stage one of the new retirement village to be built on the 12.5ha Mills Reef Winery site is scheduled to open this year, with sites hitting the market in March.
Earthworks for the construction of the first 17 villas in The Vines At Bethlehem will begin this month, and land owner and Preston Group director Tim Preston said he hoped to open the on-site sales office in March.
"We're at an exciting time of developing the floor plans that are looking really good, as well as looking at the main amenity block and how that will be developed.
"The initial clubhouse is being refurbished as we speak," he said.
Mr Preston said he hoped the first show home would be opened in May.
