So much of a suburb's culture can be attributed to its balance between built structures and open space. Studies conducted both here and world-wide indicate that communities with greater levels of green (parks, street trees, recreational space for play) carry a higher property value than those without green space and more significantly, its residents have fewer stress related health issues.
It’s the power of green, and the reason why new housing developments today are being designed with a greater emphasis on integrating the built environment with the grown environment.
Located 29 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD is Woodlea in Rockbank.
With only its first land release in March 2015, it is the fastest selling land development in Melbourne and the outer western suburbs most affordable and eagerly sought after place to live for first time homeowners. It is reported that about 40% of Woodlea’s initial 700 lot release was taken up by this segment of the market.
When completed in the next 12-14 years, Woodlea will feature 7000 homes. Along with affordability, the estate’s green vision is a major drawcard for anyone seeking accessibility to both recreational facilities and major services including easy transport options to and from Melbourne.
Speciality Trees is proud to be involved in the supply of tree stock into Woodlea. Both parties understand the value of trees to create the right community environment and both share a passion to connect people with green infrastructure. Woodlea’s ambition for all residents to be in walking distance of a park resonates strongly with our desire for everyone to have a closer relationship with green for greater health and wellbeing. Boasting 200 ha of open space, conservation areas, wetlands and cycle and walking tracks, its green vision and quality expectations make it a pleasure to supply into.
While the first residents will be able to enjoy early stage community amenities and services including a neighbourhood park, within the next 5-7 years Woodlea will deliver a Local Town Centre spanning 5,700 square metres with a mix of public and business space, supermarket and retail stores, a bus interchange and other professional services. It is a comprehensive and well-thought out community venture.
Few communities can offer this combination of high quality contemporary homes, modern convenience and commitment to the grown environment.
Here is just a glimpse of the type of material we are growing under contract for Woodlea.
