Benefits of living in a master planned community

Building a new home involves more than just deciding whether to have three bedrooms or four, or if you want a double garage or a study. It is also about choosing where you want to live.

Col Dutton, Stockland General Manager for WA, said there were many benefits derived from building a new home in a master planned community, including the opportunity to lead a convenient lifestyle.

Mr Dutton said an advantage of choosing to build in a master planned community is that buyers have everything at their fingertips, with communities located close to established or planned schools, shops, public transport, employment hubs and recreational facilities.

Mr Dutton said Stockland worked closely with builder partners to deliver new home concepts and home and land packages that are both innovative in design and competitive on value.

Buyers can choose from land lots, home & land packages or town homes and completed home projects which hasten the move in time for buyers.

Master planned communities are also designed to be more sustainable and self-sufficient than older, established suburbs, with an extensive range of walking and cycle paths connecting to facilities, therefore, helping to reduce the need for vehicles to be used within the community.

The new quality-built homes also offer a higher than average energy rating with the latest energy and water efficient appliances included to help reduce utility bills.

Master planned communities also support lifestyle changes – allowing residents to move through the housing cycle without having to leave the area and their support networks.

Mr Dutton said another benefit of living in a master planned community is the opportunity for residents to get outdoors and be active in a beautifully landscaped park or open space.

Mr Dutton said purchasing a new home at a Stockland master planned community not only improved liveability, but also helped create a real sense of community spirit.

Stockland has six active master planned residential communities in Perth’s southern and northern growth corridors.

The communities – Calleya at Banjup, Newhaven at Piara Waters, Sienna Wood at Hilbert, Amberton at Eglinton, Whiteman Edge at Brabham and Vale at Aveley- offer a wide range of lots and product for all different lifestyles and budgets.
