Partnership paves the way for Community Art Project

A community arts project is set to get underway at The Village at Wellard with the help of a $7,800 Community Arts Network WA Catalyst grant.

The grant was secured by a partnership between The Village at Wellard joint venture partners Peet Limited and the Department of Housing and Works, the Town of Kwinana and the Peter Carnley Anglican Community School.

The Village at Wellard Community Art project will provide an exciting opportunity for residents and the wider Kwinana community to work together to create series of community artworks.

Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said this was a great result for all the partners involved and particularly for the local community.

"The community now has the opportunity to be part of creating their own identity," said Mr Gore. "I look forward to seeing the creation of these artworks which will reflect the community's environmental and social values and principles."

"I encourage all the experienced and budding artists in the Kwinana area to share their ideas and get involved in this project," he said.

The artworks will contribute to the creation of dynamic, interactive areas of public open space within the estate with feature works also planned to run along the pathway in Linear Park.

The project is being coordinated by community consultants Creating Communities Australia and will also involve the Medina Aboriginal Cultural Community and Challenger TAFE students.

Town of Kwinana Mayor Carol Adams said this was a great demonstration of what can be achieved through public / private partnerships.

"This project will deliver significant community, cultural and educational outcomes for the local community and create a cultural legacy for future generations," Ms Adams said.

A series of student and community workshops will be held, beginning in late July.

New style of urban living on offer at Terraces Point Cook Junction

Peet Limited has launched a stylish new concept in urban living at its popular Innisfail Estate in Melbourne’s high growth western corridor.

Designed with lifestyle in mind, Terraces Point Cook Junction conveniently combines architecturally-designed townhouses with well located office space – all within the Innisfail Estate.

With strong demand expected, buyers are being urged to register their interest early for this exciting new housing product being introduced to the market by Peet’s residential built form division, Peet Living in collaboration with Burbank Homes.

The 46-site development located on Tom Roberts Parade, adjacent to Boardwalk Boulevard, will be sold in four stages, with prices for Stage 1 ‘House and Land Packages’ ranging from $295,000 to $575,000.

Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said he expected a strong response to the new product.

“The Terraces offers people a new style of suburban living,” said Mr Gore. “It will suit people looking for flexibility and a new way of balancing home and work life,” he said.

Six stylish floor plans have been designed by one of Melbourne’s leading architectural firms the Buchan Group to provide buyers with a variety of adaptable options. They range from single storey two-bedroom residence and study, a one-bedroom single storey with office, a two-bedroom townhouse residence above another two-bedroom residence, right through to a three-bedroom double story townhouse with an integrated ground floor office.

“Once buyers have decided on their homesite, they will be able to choose the design that fits their requirements – once constructed they will simply be able to move in and start enjoying the lifestyle,” said Mr Gore.

To ensure privacy and security, a unique twin-key system allows separate access to the different areas and floors. For buyers that means it will be like owning two discrete properties in one, making it possible to live in one half and work in the other, live or work in one half and rent out the other or simply purchase it as an investment.

Being at the heart of Innisfail Estate means residents are just 20 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD and also have easy access to established facilities in the Point Cook area such as, public transport, shops and medical facilities. Residents will also be just one kilometre from a proposed new Point Cook Shopping Centre which will provide all the conveniences one can expect in a $100 million retail and commercial development.

In the near future, Innisfail Estate will have its own village retail centre creating a community hub located adjacent to The Terraces.
