Plans to build a new masterplanned community in Mambourin, which will eventually be home to about 3500 residents, have been announced.
Frasers Property Australia has unveiled plans to build a $440 million community in the small rural township, located near Wyndham Vale, within an area bordered on two sides by the Regional Rail Link and Black Forest Road.
The first stage of the 1200-lot development has been approved by Wyndham council, with the first land to be released in April.
The first stage of the plan includes a central 5.4-hectare wetland and park with an all-ages play area, fitness nodes, walking and cycling paths, shelters and barbecues.
Designs for the Mambourin site, to be built on 115 hectares, also include a private school, performing arts centre, library and kindergarten.
The town centre will include 25,000 square metres of retail floor space with a supermarket, discount department store, 30 to 40 specialty stores and an entertainment precinct with a proposed cinema.
Frasers Property has dubbed Mambourin a “five-minute community” due to the fact that residents will be living close to shops, services, amenities and transport.
Frasers Property Australia general manager Victoria, Sarah Bloom, said home owners would live in an area “… where everyday needs are within a walkable distance from home”.
She said that Frasers Property was focused on creating places with an emphasis on health and wellbeing, with multiple options for outdoor activities, fitness and leisure.
She said the “jewel in the crown” at Mambourin would be a residents’ club, featuring swimming pools, a multi-use court, gym, function rooms, cafe and barbecue area.
