Discover what’s on the horizon for Drouin

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Gippsland, just minutes from Warragul’s township and with easy transport links close by, it’s no wonder Drouin continues to flourish. And with even more growth ahead, the future for Highfields looks brighter than ever.

Drouin’s current growth has been undeniable. As the area continues to flourish, the Victorian Government has ambitious plans to enhance infrastructure in the Drouin Precinct Structure Plan1. Here’s just some of what future residents can look forward to.

Fewer reasons to stay indoors in Drouin
Almost 20 kilometres of new walking and cycling paths will soon weave through the township, encouraging residents to explore and stay active in the fresh country air.

Then, over 40 hectares of new open space, including significant regional parks, will provide places to relax, play and reconnect with nature. The Highfields estate itself will provide nine of these hectares, creating the perfect spots for weekend picnics or quiet morning walks among native flora and fauna.

Easier ways to get around
Upgrades to Drouin’s road network will deliver better connectivity throughout the area.

The planned Drouin South Bypass, linking Main South Road to Princes Way, will also make travelling around town faster and more convenient, while the future connection between Walker Drive and Waterside Drive will provide future residents dual access to the Princes Freeway and Princes Way.

Greater opportunity for all members of the family
The already-established schools within the township are perfect for growing families, while the two new schools are set to offer more exceptional educational options close to home.

Expansion of businesses will create even more local jobs, and together, these developments promise a well-rounded, thriving community for every generation.

Places to gather and grow together
Two new community hubs will provide modern spaces for local events, fitness classes and social gatherings, helping residents come together in meaningful ways.

And with two new shopping centres planned, everything from daily errands to catching up with neighbours over coffee will be easier than ever.

All these enhancements point to one thing: Drouin’s best days are still ahead. With its blend of natural beauty, thoughtful planning and strong sense of community, Highfields is perfectly placed to enjoy it all.
