Spring is here! Now is the best time to visit our display village.

It seems like Spring is springing upon us already! As the weather warms up the Village Park is full of happy families, swimming pool covers are being tentatively taken off for that first dip and our thoughts are turning to the great outdoors.

 

This year will be the first anniversary of the official opening of the Village Park at North Harbour. We opened with a special event held on October 24th, 2015. It was the very first community event which North Harbour held and marked a major milestone in construction of the development.

Located adjacent to the Display Village at the end of Moreton Bay Boulevard, the Village Park and surrounds offer residents heaps of excellent fitness opportunities.

The Village Park is the first of the parks to be built in North Harbour and incorporates two levels of play equipment to suit both older children and preschoolers. The 600sqm Park is attractively landscaped with undulating grass mounds ideal for independent play, space to run around and spread out for a picnic. Large sun shelters, drinking water fountains and barbecues complete the amenities and make it the ideal spot for a morning or afternoon play session or a relaxed family barbecue.

It’s a great space to use to get energetic with the kids, catch up for a coffee with friends or check some emails and Facebook using the free Wi-fi. Strap on your fitbit and count how many kilojoules pushing the kids on the swing uses up! You’ll be amazed. Or do some laps around the park while the kids play – the opportunities for a sneaky workout are endless!

North Harbour boasts the largest area devoted to open space and parks within the northern corridor and, upon completion, will offer residents 1000 acres of open space and parklands. Future development will include an off-leash area for dogs, parks with fitness equipment and enough space to hold boot camps and other outdoor fitness classes. Imagine everything on your doorstep, perfectly set up for easy every day activity.

Extensive bike and walking tracks will give residents options for exercise and fun activities. Proposed playing fields, a sporting complex and a heritage park will complement the water based activities provided by the Caboolture River and Moreton Bay.

The development has already reached a point where there is sufficient pavement to go for a nice long (up to an hour) walk or a run. You might want to consider joining one of the local running groups or go for a morning walk with friends. Our aim is that North Harbour becomes not just your new home but a complete destination lifestyle for our residents.

It will provide not just a place to live, but somewhere the kids will have room to kick a ball, ride a bike and go fishing. Where you will be able to walk your children to school and where you can catch up for a coffee or a bite to eat, all at your doorstep that is North Harbour.

In one, new place, North Harbour will create a community where you can truly say you ‘feel right at home’.

 

North Harbour, as its name suggests, has a strong affiliation with the Caboolture River and the world-renowned Moreton Bay. The masterplan centres itself around the marina which provides direct access to the Bay and its islands; Bribie Island, Moreton Island and North and South Stradbroke Islands. The development will give the recreational fisherman or sailing enthusiast opportunity to explore the many wonders of the northern Bay and Pumistone Passage.

And it doesn’t stop when you head indoors…When you visit our Display Homes Burpengary based Village, imagine building a new house with space for your fitness equipment, or a pool, or both. A large walk-in pantry might be an essential part of your commitment to eating healthily, a laundry with enough space to dry gym kits might also be on the must-have list! Each North Harbour home is connected to high speed Wi-fi so watching your favourite fitness YouTube videos on your smart TV is a cinch.

Any of the 35 Display Homes could be your ideal, you might also want to talk to one of the builders about other options they can offer. All the Display Homes are set up to showcase some living options you can consider.

 

So, whether your fitness passion is yoga, gym, bootcamps, jogging, walking or swimming our Display Homes Burpengary based Village can help you create the home of your dreams in a community designed around easy family living.

North Harbour Sales Office & Display Village is open seven days a week, 10am-5pm (excluding public holidays). For more information or to make an appointment call Aidan on 5433 1111, email .

Need to get your work/life balance right? North Harbour is the place!

Welcome to the North Harbour blog. This week I’m going to discuss why North Harbour is a great place to live for families, particularly focusing on the benefits for working mums, and how building your own home might help you win the constant home/ work life balance battle.

 

As I type this I’m recovering from a hellish morning of trying to get to work whilst the dog, the children and life in general run interference. I made my first meeting – 15 minutes late – only to then notice the handprint on my black trousers (from the 4-year old clinging onto my leg as I tried to drop him off quickly and quietly at day care) and the toothpaste dribble on my shirt (from shouting at the dog to stop barking whilst brushing my teeth).

We all have these days/weeks/months where nothing at all is going quite as easily as it should be and at times like this I find myself wandering around the beautiful Display Village at North Harbour looking at the Display Homes and thinking how much easier my life might be if I had space by the front door for all the kids to put their stuff for school in one of those awesome hall cupboards with space for shoes, bags, hats, sports kit and so on.

Whilst I’m not for a moment suggesting that a new home would make all your working mum woes disappear, a home designed with your needs in mind can certainly help. For example to help me get my act together in the morning I’d like a kitchen with a breakfast bar so I can make sure I’m across all the various things each kid (little ones and the big one) needs for a particular day while they eat/ whine/ fight/ start long-winded stories I apparently need to listen to, while I pack the dishwasher, make packed lunches, coffee-to-go (and on good days check myself for toothpaste marks and hand prints).

I’d also like enough space to sometimes be able to hide from the kids/ husband when I get home from work, until I’m ready to answer multiple questions, and both a decent pantry and his n hers walk-in robes so I could get myself organised and not have to share a wardrobe. (For me it’s not ‘location, location, location’ so much as ‘cupboards, cupboards, cupboards’!)

One of the best things about a new build is that you get to choose all of the above and whatever you personally need to make your life easier. North Harbour has several different types of lot to choose from, including some which can be dual occupancy, and multiple house designs for you to browse which will fit on these lots.

If you’re searching for your dream home a great idea can be to take a few trips to a Display Village to get an idea of what’s happening in the construction industry and the latest evolution in interior design. North Harbour’s Display Village contains 35 Display Homes showcasing the designs of 14 local and national builders. (If possible it might be an idea to have a look yourself first and whittle down the list to your top three before bringing the kids!).

A quick tip to remember, too – builders don’t show every single home they are capable of building at one Display Village so, if there is a particular builder you like, but the home isn’t quite right, ask them about other options that they have available in similar styles.

You might also fall in love with a particular block before you find your dream home. Again that helps you choose which builder is right for you, there might be a specific design which fits perfectly onto your block.

 

In addition to being able to build your dream home here, North Harbour also works well on a community scale. The Village Park located next to the Display Village is the first park to be completed at North Harbour. It incorporates two levels of play equipment to suit older children and pre-schoolers and includes open space and undulating grass mounds ideal for independent play. It’s a great place to let the kids burn off some steam after school while you catch up on some work emails using the free Wi-Fi. The park’s shelters and barbecues also mean it’s great for a work from home day or to combine a much-needed coffee catch up with a playdate.

As part of our commitment to making North Harbour a great place to live, we boast the largest area devoted to open space and parks within the northern corridor. Extensive bike and walking tracks will give residents options for exercise and fun activities. Proposed playing fields, a sporting complex and a heritage park will complement the water based activities provided by the Caboolture River and Moreton Bay.

Each home at North Harbour (and even the free Wi-Fi in the park) has access to state of the art, fibre optic network capable of speeds up to 1Gb per second from a broad range of Internet Service Providers. More than enough speed to mean that you and the kids can all be watching something different on Netflicks at the same time without slowing down your internet speed.

And finally, each home will also have the option of tapping into underground reticulated gas. Having the option of natural gas appliances gives you an easy, energy efficient choice for endless hot water as well as cooking inside and on the BBQ outside equally easily.

In a nutshell, our Display Homes Burpengary based Village can help you create the home of your dreams in a community designed around easy family living.
