The four relocated buyback homes in the Mt Pleasant Estate in Goonellabah will see some action again by the end of the month.

They have been sitting dormant for three months, following the stair additions after being moved in November and December 2024.

The Lismore App can reveal that Quadracon, a Byron Bay building company, has been appointed by the NSW Reconstruction Authority (RA) to complete the renovation works so the houses can be sold to Resilient Homes Program participants first and then to the general public if they don't all sell.

Neighbouring houses in and around Mt Pleasant Estate received a flyer in the mailbox yesterday outlining the works to be completed in the next four to six months, weather dependent, of course.

The work to be undertaken at the two and three-bedroom homes includes interior fitouts, painting, fencing and landscaping. The work will occur from 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to 1pm on Saturday (if needed), with no work occurring on Sundays or public holidays.

In the flyer, the RA says that it hopes to have the finished homes ready for sale in early 2026. If the timeline of four months is met, they will be ready by the end of February, and if it is six months, it will be the end of April 2026.

As we have mentioned before, it is expected that the new Multitask house, built from scratch, will be ready for its first clients to move in by March 2026.

The price range is expected to be between $570,000 and $720,000, as revealed in September:

R1: 3 bedrooms $690,000 to $720,000

R2: 3 bedrooms $570,00 to $600,000

R3: 3 bedrooms $570,000 to $600,00

R4: 2 bedrooms plus study $650,000 to $680,000

As for the Mt Pleasant Estate Masterplan? No real update. Feedback from participants, along with other building and development planning considerations is helping the RA to prepare the final Masterplan.

"We will provide community members with an update once we have completed the Masterplan and confirmed the sales process and timing," says the flyer.
