MASTER-PLANNED RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY
SEKISUI House Australia has acquired an 8.1-hectare site located beside the fairways of the Castle Hill Country Club in Baulkham Hills, to develop a master-planned residential community. It was acquired for $210 million from property developer Tony Merhi. The mixed-use masterplan includes 1300 apartments.
APPROVAL FOR 220 UNITS AT KELLYVILLE
ABOUT 220 residential units could be built in three apartment blocks, four to eight storeys high, on a 4.8-hectare site, at 5-9 Withers Street, Kellyville, following approval by the Sydney West Joint Regional Planning Panel.
FIRE AND RESCUE ACADEMY RELOCATED
THE Fire & Rescue NSW Academy to be relocated to a six-hectare site on Mamre Road, at Erskine Park, is expected to employ around 150 staff, and see up to 200 additional firefighters and trainees on site on any given day. The new state-of-the-art firefighter training facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2017. It will replace existing training college at Alexandria, which is more than 40 years old and about one-third the size of the new site.
