72 | Sedar Properties: Shield Group T T Kim Newth Significant milestone for Bellfield Estate Spanning 22 hectares, the master planned neighbourhood will ultimately comprise more than 500 homes, “Having Opaheke Park on the doorstep reinforces Bellfield Estate’s focus on liveability and access to quality green spaces.” DEVELOPMENT After launchging in 2021, Papakura’s master-planned development, Bellfield Estate, has now reached a key milestone with the completion of all land subdivision works across the estate’s five stages. It is a proud achievement for the developer, Sedar Properties, whose vision of a warm, multi-generational community is fast taking shape. A substantial number of homes are already built and occupied and, along with established streetscapes and maturing landscaping, a neighbourhood character is beginning to emerge. “Together, these elements are gradually shaping the calm, attractive environment originally envisioned — one where neighbours can connect easily and daily life feels both practical and welcoming,” observes Project Manager Aaron Abercrombie, of Sedar Properties. While land sales are now complete, building activity is ongoing as the final phase of homebuilding unfolds and Bellfield Estate continues to evolve as a fully realised community. Spanning 22 hectares, the master planned neighbourhood will ultimately comprise more than 500 homes, all set within landscaped, pedestrian-friendly streets that prioritise connection, walkability and a strong sense of place. Bellfield’s residents enjoy easy walkable connections to existing urban neighbourhoods to the north and west, with direct links to Opaheke Road to the east and Opaheke Park to the south. Developed in association with Auckland Council and the Papakura Local Board, Opaheke Park is a defining feature of Bellfield Estate. Completed in early 2025 and officially re-opened to the public on 17 July, the park includes an extensive network of walking and running tracks, fitness stations, play areas, landscaped gardens and open meadow spaces. “Having Opaheke Park on the doorstep reinforces Bellfield Estate’s focus on liveability and access to quality green spaces. “The park now functions as both a local amenity and a wider regional asset, complementing the residential community and enhancing the overall sense of place at Bellfield Estate.” Adding to residents’ quality of life at Bellfield Estate are its street trees, planting and footpaths that are well-established, along with local reserves, landscaped open spaces, and carefully integrated waterways that contribute to both stormwater management and the overall amenity of the neighbourhood. An exciting complementary amenity coming to Bellfield Estate is a new childcare centre that will take advantage of the outlook over Opaheke Park. The project is currently under construction and due to be completed in the third quarter of 2026. Once complete, the childcare centre will serve as a key community-focussed facility, offering convenient access and location as well as architectural continuity with the surrounding estate. Sedar Properties is a family-owned business with a firm focus on delivering holistic developments that serve their communities. The ‘Sedar’ name was inspired by the resilient and timeless cedar tree and reflects the developer’s purposeful approach to growth. Past projects for Sedar Properties include Queenstown’s Remarkables Residences. While very different in location and scale, it was developed with the same ethos around prioritising quality of life, connection and long term liveability, with careful attention shown to the surrounding environment, landscaping, and open spaces. With its thoughtful design, open-spaces and pedestrian-friendly streets, Bellfield Estate similarly honours that positive ethos and thoughtful development approach. “We’re committed to supporting Bellfield Estate as it continues to evolve, and we look forward to celebrating the growth of the community as new homes and shared spaces come to life.” 0800 527 337 | www.las.co.nz FUNCTIONAL CREATIVITY IN EVERYTHING WE DO ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN & CONSENTING
