TOWNSHIP CALLED WILTON GREENS South-Wests’ booming population

„ DALLAS SHERRINGHM

ANEW township will be created at the country village of Wilton with the official launch of the $2B Wilton Greens project.

Wilton Greens will be home to around 10,000 people with 3600 building blocks for sale from $450,000. The project is currently being marketed from a Sales Gallery at Macarthur Square Shopping Centre.

Wollondilly Shire Council recently granted Risland Australia land registration for the first phase of Stage One.

The project is a clear sign that Sydney is rapidly spreading South West and will need massive infrastructure to handle the booming population.

Spanning 433ha Wilton Greens will feature a variety of housing types plus two employment hubs, a local neighborhood centre, high-quality parks and playgrounds, several kilometres of cycle paths and 8.5ha. of open spaces.

TRN Group was awarded the civil infrastructure and subdivision works for the first 263 land parcels with more than 1.4 million tonnes of earth already moved. Construction works in the initial Stages A to D are now complete with all authority inspections and approvals finalised.

“Risland has worked closely with key stakeholders such as Transport for NSW and Sydney Water for several years in the lead up to gaining land registration for the first stage,” Senior Development Manager at Risland Australia Andre Byczkov said.

“This is a crucial milestone for the project. Wilton Greens is the first masterplanned development in NSW. The company’s vision to create a high-quality residential lifestyle in the centre of Sydney’s South West is now one step closer.

It’s the outdoor lifestyle

“Homes that support an outdoors lifestyle are exceedingly popular. The idea of living in a brand-new walkable and connected community that is well priced is very appealing.

“Creating a future in a growth region and thinking long term are crucial elements for financial success when purchasing in Sydney’s property market,” he said.

A highlight of the project is a walkable neighborhood designed to encourage an active lifestyle and it has eight ‘villages’, each with a green open space at its heart to act as a central destination, high-quality home designs to maximise picturesque rural views and distinct native landscaping with wide home frontages.

In fact, the landscape will be a major defining feature of Wilton Greens with extensive planting that reflects the character of the Southern Highlands region already well underway.

John Holland, Director at Group GSA, designer of the landscaping program said the landscape and open spaces would provide the backdrop to Wilton Greens and deliver essential ambience, spirit of place and overriding character.

“The approach is to establish a high quality, contemporary landscape incorporating community identity with a powerful sense of place, while maximising conservation and revegetation of threatened ecological communities. Care and attention to the total design of the landscape is at play.”

Vision highlights include $7B to be spent on economic development including a 200ha new town centre, $632M to complete Campbelltown Hospital’s redevelopment, NBN full fibre to the home connectivity for ‘work from home’ and remote access, $178.5M for transport and new infrastructure in the area, two new proposed primary schools and 15,000 permanent jobs including retail, education and health.

Wilton Greens is located at the gateway to the South West with Campbelltown just 30km away. Mittagong is 36km away, Wollongong 40km and Sydney CBD 80 km.
