52 | Loving life at Lockerbie The Oak Eatery is providing an ideal spot for coffee or a bite to eat while watching the kids in the playground. T T from page 50 Lockerbie Estate DEVELOPMENT “We had a great response to our recent open day on Evans Street showcasing our options ranging from a duplex home to a multi-generational building. “We have our own dedicated sales team, led by our sales manager Tal Weizman, who can guide people on what’s available. “Our retirement village also has show homes displaying various quality options. That village is now entering its fourth stage with another 20 houses planned in there.” A grand opening ceremony for Lockerbie Retirement Village’s new community centre was held on September 17, an exciting milestone for village residents. With a footprint of more than 1000sqm, it includes a swimming pool, spa, gym, billiard lounge and bar, activities room, media lounge and dining facility. With its strong connections to the Kaimai Ranges and local history, Lockerbie Estate has worked closely with local iwi, Ngāti Hauā, to develop a cultural framework for the whole development. Enhancing the environment is another core commitment here, with the first section of an ambitious water reserve network recently completed. “We’re working with the regional council to enhance the stream corridor and its ecology, as well as encouraging public interaction with the waterways by developing tracks for cyclists, walkers and dog walkers. “The number of plants going in is phenomenal; a lot of reserve area is going back to the community here.” Lockerbie Estate is generating many positive spinoffs, including jobs in the community and good opportunities for local contractors and suppliers. “Everyone here is invested in the local area.” In early September, a new water-treatment plant was formally opened at Lockerbie that connects the subdivision to existing infrastructure, at the same time also greatly improving resilience of the water supply in Morrinsville. “The Matamata Piako District Council (MPDC) construction team have done a fantastic job of putting in this key asset for the community, making sure it is a good fit for a residential neighbourhood as well.” Once stage 4 is completed later this year, Sstage 5 civil works are set to commence at Lockerbie Estate in 2025. 07 849 9921 • Specialising in Screened Topsoil • Compost & Soil Mixes • Site Preparation, Digger & Truck Hire • Sand & Metal Fill • Pool dig outs • Site excavations You’ll find us right next to Lockerbie Estate’s park and playground in Morrinsville, just a short walk from Morrinsville Golf Club and David Street School.
