Work starts on lifestyle village at Crows Nest<br />
Earthworks have started on the Parklands<br />
Lifestyle Village development in Crows Nest.<br />
The project, to be constructed in seven<br />
stages, will include 181 house sites with<br />
building planned to start in 2019.<br />
The first stage will include 16 home sites,<br />
two display homes and community centre<br />
with swimming pool, bowls green and productive<br />
garden.<br />
It has been designed as a retirement estate<br />
by the developers B. and P. Woodhead, D. and<br />
K. Haskings and M. N. Vogler adjacent to the<br />
master planned Parklands Estate.<br />
They believe the Village will provide a<br />
high standard of affordable new dwellings<br />
along with community facilities which will<br />
allow the residents to enjoy an active and engaged<br />
lifestyle.<br />
A selection of home styles would be available,<br />
including two or three bedrooms with<br />
car accommodation. David Haskings said<br />
they were trying to make the homes as affordable<br />
as possible and anticipated that prices<br />
would start from $295,000.<br />
Residents will own their home and pay a<br />
weekly site rental that provides exclusive<br />
access to all community facilities and the<br />
on-going maintenance of the village.<br />
Eligible residents may be entitled to receive<br />
Commonwealth rental assistance.<br />
Mr Haskings said the earthworks and construction<br />
of dwellings and the community<br />
centre would be undertaken using local builders<br />
and other contractors.<br />
The Village will be developed on an eight<br />
hectare site which will be bordered by a tree<br />
corridor, lake and wet lands.<br />
The site is part of the overall Parklands Estate<br />
which was bought by the developers in<br />
1992 and over the years has seen the development<br />
of over 150 residential lots and the<br />
construction of 130 homes.<br />
The developers, as long term local residents,<br />
hope the project will provide an economic<br />
boost to Crows Nest as well as an enjoyable<br />
lifestyle for new Village residents.<br />

Affordable new dwellings and active and engaged lifestyle.<br />
