The Better Living Family Festival

Better Living Family Festival - Family fun for the Casey Community!

On Saturday July 24th we held the inaugural Better Living Family Festival, in celebration of the public launch of Selandra Rise. Hundreds of locals gathered to this first of its kind event, to learn, participate and experience why life at Selandra Rise will be so good. There was lots of activity on the day and our future residents also had the opportunity to start shaping their new community.

Look forward to terrific services

One of our key initiatives proposed is to create what we're calling a Sustainable Living Hub. This is a house next to our display village that will provide information and services for residents.

"Normally in these kinds of developments, people have to wait years before they have access to council and state government services," says Jason Black of the Planning Institute of Australia. "From the very first day, they will be at Selandra Rise."

What's more St. Peter's Secondary Catholic College will be open early 2011, before our first resident, providing you with facilities and services from day one.

St. Peter?s College began in 1987 as the Cranbourne Campus of St. Francis Xavier, Beaconsfield with 48 students in Year 7. In 1994 St Peters College commenced as a Year 7 ? 10 Campus with 280 students. A rapid phase of growth and development commenced with the VCE being introduced and the first Year 12 group graduating in 1996.

The Curriculum diversified to a great degree with particular expansion in areas such as Technology, Sciences, Visual Arts and Languages Other than English.The person and story of St. Peter greatly contributed to a distinct character and ethos, expressed in symbol, art work and the liturgical life of the College. A reputation for excellence in the performing arts was quickly achieved and in 1998 the College was recognised in the Federal Parliament for its work towards Aboriginal Reconciliation.

2009 saw the purchase of land at Selandra Rise finalised to allow for the opening of a campus on that site in 2011. This is your opportunity to enrol today.

Stockland continue to grow in the South

Stockland continues to deliver some of the best residential communities in the south-east. Working with the Planning Institute of Australia, Growth Areas Authority and the City of Casey, Stockland is creating a new residential community in Casey which aims to place health and well-being at the centre of the community's identity.

Creating a communtiy

Affordability, health and well being as well as a provision of employment will be the cornerstones of Selandra Rise, an innovative housing estate coming soon to Clyde North.

Look forward to the future of community living

Stockland's vision for Selandra Rise is to create a healthy, engaged and active community where people will THRIVE.

"There will be sporting facilities for kids to play junior and senior sport - football, cricket and netball.  We also plan to build tennis courts.  There will be places for BBQs and gatherings throughout," says Greg Bursill of the Growth Areas Authority.
