They want to understand the quality of the neighbourhood, the amenities around them and how the community will function over time.” Westhaven Rolleston is officially underway with the first release of 167 residential sections, marking the start of what is expected to become one of the South Island’s largest residential communities. The 300-hectare neighbourhood, on the western edge of Rolleston in Selwyn District, is expected to deliver up to 5000 homes and four commercial precincts over the coming decade. Handily located south-west of Christchurch, it is around 20 minutes’ drive from both the Christchurch CBD and airport, as well as being close to local schools, shops and everyday amenities. In addition to residential sections, stage 1 includes land for a local retail centre and four townhouse super lots alongside full infrastructure services and street networks. “Of the 167 residential sections released in stage 1, 110 are already under contract with titles expected March next year,” says Carter Group director Tim Carter. “Rolleston has become one of New Zealand’s most desirable places to live, and Greater Christchurch continues to attract people looking for opportunity and a great lifestyle. Following the post-earthquake rebuild, Christchurch now has a modern city centre too, a strong job market, and major new infrastructure projects, including the covered Te Kaha stadium, all contributing to the city’s appeal.” T T to page 48 Westhaven has been designed as a connected neighbourhood, with homes, parks, schools and everyday amenities all within easy reach.
