Hello and welcome to Windermere’s construction update for March, from your team here in Mambourin.

Firstly, we would like to invite purchasers of blocks within stages one and two, to have their valuers make an appointment to attend site via Oliver Hume.

We hope that you and your family are adjusting well to the present days in isolation, and staying well through the COVID-19 pandemic.

The community efforts to stay home and protect the most vulnerable in our community are appreciated by all. It’s a crazy time for everyone so we’ll begin Windermere’s construction update with some good news. Fortunately, construction is currently classed as an “essential service” by the Victorian Government. This means that while we are operating under more stringent hygiene standards for the health and well-being of our team, the project is still rapidly moving ahead.

We will continue to keep an eye on the latest recommendations as the world around us is changing daily. As it stands, we have accomplished substantial construction progress onsite with eight stages (approx. 400 lots!) under construction!

In the following few months, Windermere is thrilled to announce that we will send to tender a sizeable construction package in the ranges of $30 -$40 million! This tender will include multiple residential stages, as well as key infrastructure items.

Today, the Windermere team are proud to deliver to you the following construction updates directly from the project team, regarding the progress over the past month.

 

Stage 1

  • Stage one is currently undergoing some final Government Authority approvals.
  • Stage one is forecasted to title in mid-April.
