Woodhead masterplanned this unique site area of approximately 5.5ha. The site development includes a comprehensive apartment-style retirement development, care facilities and a community centre.
The commercial development, designed to serve the wider community, was also incorporated as part of the region’s overall development.
The masterplan tested the viability of the client purchasing the land and had to be commercially feasible, acceptable to the regional authority and adhere to design guidelines.
This creative proposal incorporated a high proportion of parkland and open space in keeping with the principles established in the urban plan.
The development of 300 apartments, a 60 bed high care facility, 3,400m2 community centre and the town centre commercial development is now complete. The development was judged to be an excellent contribution to the development of this new regional centre.
