Project Roadmap

Your 6-Year Journey to Build Your Dream Home

You may choose to exit at any stage — we are committed to a smooth, positive experience

From registration to your own land title — a clear, step-by-step journey.

This is the roadmap for the Vertical Village Cooperative Land Project. The 15 steps of your journey are organised into five clear stages below. Each stage shows what happens, how long it takes, and what you need to do.

This timeline is indicative only and may vary depending on council approvals, infrastructure requirements, market conditions and statutory processes.

Patience and Location Can Be a Powerful Combination.

Stage 1

Entry Process — Registration & Purchase

Join the cooperative and secure your stake

Weeks 1–4

Prospective members join the cooperative by completing a formal registration, providing photo ID, and making the initial instalment. Each payment is acknowledged with an official receipt, and upon confirmation of the initial payment, members receive a Deed of Purchase certifying their stake in the land.

Step 1: Read, understand and agree to the project terms, information, return of investment and exit options.

Step 2: Complete the Registration form, provide photo ID, and pay the initial deposit to confirm your participation.

Step 3: Obtain the official payment receipt from the company (sent to your WhatsApp or email).

Step 4: Download and complete the Deed of Purchase, then have it signed by both parties (you and the company).

Stage 2

Active Participation — Payments & Trust Certificate

Complete your payments and receive your trust share

Up to 3.5 Years

Members continue their payments as per the cooperative's schedule, with each instalment documented through receipts. Once all agreed payments are completed and the cooperative finalises the land purchase (project settlement, 9 March 2029), members are issued a Unit Trust Certificate confirming their ownership share in the collectively held land trust.

Step 5: Keep paying your instalments regularly and obtain receipts for every instalment payment you make.

Step 6: Upon completion of the full amount, obtain the Certificate of Payment Completion from the company.

Step 7: Wait for the project settlement (9 March 2029) and participate in the Unit Trust setup process.

Step 8: Receive your Unit Trust Certificate and participate in the lottery draw for temporary land allocation.

Project settlement is targeted for 9 March 2029. The Unit Trust structure formalises collective ownership of the land.

Stage 3

Income Generation — Agro-Tourism Development

Generate interim income while awaiting rezoning

1–2 Years

Members develop agro-tourism ventures on the land to generate interim income. These ventures help cover holding costs and demonstrate productive use of the land while formal rezoning and development approvals are pending. Participation in this phase is optional.

Step 9: Collaborate with others to set up agro-tourism to generate collective income from the land (optional).

Step 10: Attend the AGM to obtain project updates and reviews while waiting for the rezoning.

Activities may include hayrides, farmers' markets, and pick-your-own harvest events. This phase is optional and member-driven.

Stage 4

Preparation for Subdivision — Planning & Infrastructure

Secure approvals and build the infrastructure

1–1.5 Years

The cooperative pools remaining funds to cover development costs and works with local authorities to secure rezoning and subdivision approvals. Experienced civil engineers then design and begin construction of site infrastructure — roads, water, sewer, drainage and utilities — in accordance with council standards.

Step 11: Once the rezoning kicks in, start arranging funds for the subdivision and land development process.

Step 12: Research and find a suitable land developer — choosing the most affordable and reputable.

Step 13: Start the subdivision work and pay the development cost upfront or in instalments over 24 months.

Landscaping and public spaces are also developed at this stage. Development costs may be paid upfront or over 24 months.

Civil works: roads, water, sewer & utilities

Stage 5

Final Subdivision & Allocation — Lot Distribution

Receive your individual land title

6–12 Months

The property is officially surveyed and divided into individual residential lots under the approved plan. To ensure fairness, specific lot assignments are determined by a public lottery draw. After the draw, each member receives the formal title or deed for their allocated lot, transferring ownership from the cooperative to the individual.

Step 14: Participate in the lottery draw again to receive the permanent allocation of your land lot.

Step 15: Register your lot under your name. From this point, do whatever you like to do with your land (STCA).

STCA = Subject to Council Approval. Once your lot is registered in your name, you are free to build, hold, or transfer it.
