We believe that creating a new community starts with a lot of listening. As we’ve started to formulate a plan, we’ve been engaging with many local groups, and intend to do more listening throughout this process.
We’ve already heard many important things about what local residents love and value, and the concerns they have for the future. These factors have been key to shaping our proposed plans.
As a result of what we’ve heard, we’ve reduced the proposed number of dwellings for the site and we’re also incorporating many other great features like many facilities for all the community to enjoy.
If you would like to stay in touch as we progress with North Rocks Village, please leave your details here so we keep you in the loop.

In North Rocks, we are focused on preserving the strong community feel of the area, its ‘green and leafy’ ambience and building on its already welcoming character by introducing housing choice and more space to be outdoors, relax and socialise.
