Yarrah Winter 2026 Progress Report

05 August 2026 Yass Valley, NSW
The Yass River curving through green pasture below low hills at Yarrah, with farm buildings on the far ridge.

The Yass River at Yarrah — the river bend from Stage 1 river corridor lots.

The first half of the year has brought strong and visible progress across Yarrah. New homes are being completed throughout the established streets of Stages 1 and 2A, while earthworks commenced in Stage 2B in March. The Subdivision Works Certificate for Stage 3 has now been secured, and the corresponding application for Stage 4 has been lodged with Council. Together, these milestones reflect Yarrah’s continued transition from an emerging neighbourhood into a growing, connected community.

01 Stage 1 & 2A Completed

Streets filling in.

The verges have grown in, the street trees have matured through another summer, and new driveways are taking shape behind them. Homes are being completed and families are moving in, street by street. Across Stages 1 and 2A, the neighbourhood is steadily filling out as residents establish gardens and make their homes their own. Stage 1 is starting to produce a beautiful and diverse range of homes.
