40 24 Tuesday [Edition datE] September 26 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi SOUTHERN WESTERN NEWS VIEW residential groWth set to continue in the west The residential population of Christchurch’s western suburbs has grown significantly since the Canterbury earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, and that growth looks set to continue for some time. A number of subdivisions have already been developed across the area in response to that growth, with more coming on stream over the next few years. One new one being developed is an extension to the existing Country Palms subdivision in Halswell, which was established prior to the earthquakes by development company Suburban Estates. “That one was well received and sold quickly,” company manager Tracey Watson says. “The new development is smaller, with 100 lots. The first stage, comprising 33 lots, has just been released, with the remainder to be released over the next couple of years.” Section sizes range from 400sqm to 700sqm, with access through the existing Country Palms development. “The subdivision has access to good infrastructure, with the opportunity to have access to Halswell Junction Road, and there are good facilities all within a kilometre,” Ms Watson says. A newcomer to the Christchurch market, Avanda Group, is developing a site at 197 Halswell Junction Road. Planning and design work has started and civil engineering work will get underway once designs are finalised, marketing manager Sarah Davidson says. The existing plan for the development includes 197 lots, with section sizes ranging from 300sqm to 650sqm. “There is an allowance within the plan for a small number of integrated housing lots, should the demand for such products develop over the course of the sales programme,” Ms Davidson says. She says Avanda has spent a number of months speaking to active parties in the market, and listening to what purchasers want. “This information has been at the forefront of our decision making. We are in the process of appointing a local urban design and landscape architect team to assist in the design of the layout and the treatment of outdoor spaces to make 197 Halswell Junction Road a welcoming community,” Ms Davidson says. “Avanda chose to develop in Halswell as it is a growing and popular community that we wanted to be part of. There is a demand for good-sized sections in the area. “We hope this will be the first of many developments in Christchurch for Avanda.” Several other subdivisions in the area have had council consent. There are 205 lots over three subdivisions in Awatea Rd, Carrs Rd and Halswell Junction Rd. A further 634 lots across four sub divisions in Sutherlands Rd, Halswell Junction Rd, and Milns Rd are currently subject to a subdivision consent application.

As our slogan says, ‘your personality, our expertise’.” Dwayne says Jennian Homes is unique in the building industry in Canterbury, in that the company directors – himself and project manager Paul Jenkins – have hands-on involvement with every project. “We work closely with our clients so they can talk to us at any time during the design and construction process.” Dwayne says there are “great opportunities” for people to build homes now in Christchurch and across Canterbury, with plenty of land opportunities. “Our team are working closely with all developers to be aware of the available land as it comes to the market.” Jennian Homes is opening two more show homes this year – one in the Faringdon sub-division in Rolleston, which will open at Labour Weekend, and the other in Rangiora, which will open just before Christmas. A well-established home-building company, Jennian Homes was launched in New Zealand 35 years ago, and has been in the Canterbury market for more than 20 years.
