Location

Sunningdale Estate is a different development concept located 20 minutes from Canberra at Murrumbateman on the Barton Highway, not far from the Hume Highway in the Yass Valley. This new Innovative Sustainable Development concept is the first urban village project to incorporate developer funded incentives for residents to have a more Sustainable Lifestyle.

$10,000 Developer Sustainable Development Rebate

Sustainability will be the main focus of Sunningdale Estate in both design and marketing. At Sunningdale Estate a $10,000 Sustainable Development rebate package will be offered to all new residents. Rebates will be given for solar hot water, solar battery storage, solar panels, water tanks, native trees and smart energy saving devices which will create a Sustainable atmosphere at Sunningdale Estate. This new development concept builds on the successful subdivision of over 300 blocks from previous Sustainable Development projects Merryville Park and Merryville Estate at Murrumbateman and from the available reserach on the interenet is probably a world first regarding an urban Sustainable Development outcome.

Sustainable Development in the Yass Valley

Yass Valley with its Wind and Solar farms, Sustainable Agriculture and Sustainable Development particularly at Murrumbateman, can now lead the world as an integrated example of how Sustainability and Sustainable Development concepts can be implemented effectively into a region.

Recession Proof Infrastructure

A focus on Murrumbateman’s new infrastructure, such as the duplication of the Barton Highway, piping of potable water and the recently completed sewerage plant, will enhance Murrumbateman’s future growth and Sunningdale Estate will be part of that. The promotion of the dual carriageway infrastructure incorporating the Hume, Federal and Barton Highways and bound by the “Golden Triangle” of Yass, Goulburn and Canberra, will provide Sustainable economic growth to the region indefinitely and will benefit from a coordinated marketing approach. The completion of infrastructure improvements in 2020, should make Sunningdale Estate recession proof in the short to medium term.
