The subdivision is promising 129 residential lots in Gobbagombalin, on Harris Road, and is estimated to cost $3.8 million.

This is one of many residential subdivisions the Diocese of Wagga have developed and invested in, such as Boorooma and Lloyd areas.

Director of properties for the Diocese Peter Fitzpatrick said this subdivision is "certainly" meeting a need in the market. 

"To my mind there is a shortage of land available in the city at the moment and a lot of this is due to a cyclical situation and timing," Mr Fitzpatrick said. 

"In a lot of ways there have been some infrastructure issues that council is solving.

"Developing subdivisions is part of our normal course of events." 

Mr Fitzpatrick said construction should begin in a matter of weeks as the development application only needs to be checked and then signed before it gets the tick of approval. 

"I've completed the design so hopefully construction on the subdivision can begin within the next eight weeks," he said. 

The development will be broken down into three stages, ranging in size from 534 to 5354 square metres,  however the developer was not sure there would be enough room for dual occupancies. 

"Stage one is about 46 lots and they are all regular residential type blocks of land that will be available for the home buyers market as soon as construction begins," he said. 

Mr Fitzpatrick hoped this subdivision "progresses" the need for services out in the city's northern suburbs. 

According to site managers Raine and Horne, 2019 might be the year Estella sees more shopping centre action. 

Mr Fitzpatrick squashed the idea that higher density living is needed in the city to meet future population demands. 

"In a nutshell no, I do not believe Wagga needs to build up instead of out," he said. 

"There's huge potential of land for Wagga and building up would only suit a limited part of the market, not a huge part."
