WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS

Courtney, Camilla, Annaleise and Madeleine display units fully built, furnished and landscaped


Spacious bedrooms

After 12 months of solid work, the roads, pathways, gardens and units in stage 1 are nearing completion. Fully appointed and furnished with the very best white goods and fixtures, visitors are now able to come and inspect the 4 villa styles in their completed state.

 

Bright, expansive kitchens

"It's been a long, hard road but we are now seeing the fruit of all our labour. The reaction from our visitors has been fabulous and the fact that we have sold 23 units is a tribute to all the tradespeople and engineers who have worked so hard," says Jodie Johnson.
Indeed, when you consider that 12 months ago there was little to Blue Hills but a vast paddock, it is amazing to see the amount of work completed in that short time.

The 4 different display units are now available for viewing between 1pm and 5pm seven days a week. The Courtney is the smallest at 9.5 squares (88.8m2), next is the Camilla at 13 squares (123m2), then the Annaleise at 15 squares (141.5m2) and finally the Madeleine at 17 squares (159.3m2). The Annaleise, Camilla and Madeleine units are available with lock-up garage, the Courtney and Camilla have a lock-up garage in stage 2.

"Everyone is more than welcome to come and take a guided tour... we'll even make you a nice cup of tea to have in our lovely administration building," says Julie Broadhead, head of sales and marketing. "Most of our visitors end up staying for hours while they asses the pros and cons of each unit, and the stage in which to buy. All of this information is available on our website: www.bluehillsresidences.com."

 

New residents, Mr. and Mrs. Philpott

NEW RESIDENTS

On July 30th, our first new residents arrived at Blue Hills. Ted and Edie moved into their brand new Camilla on Tim Court, while Don and Joy settled into their spacious Madeleine. Tim Court has never looked so busy, with two removalist trucks coincidentally arriving at the same time. "They were just so thrilled to be moving into their brand new homes," said Jodie Johnson.

The next residents to arrive in Tim Court will be Clare and Alf on the 13th of August with Dorothy and Lance arriving at the end of the month.


STREETSCAPE SPLENDOUR

Last Thursday, amongst much excitement, our long awaited street trees finally arrived. Fifteen, six foot tall Pin Oaks were planted along Howard Gate by our own Tony and David, using a large crane to lower them into position. We now have a very grande entrance for our visitors to enjoy when arriving at Blue Hills. In time, these beautiful trees will become a feature of the Village.

CRANBOURNE PUSH FOR AGED CARE

In a bid to alleviate the chronic shortage of aged care beds in the Cranbourne area, Blue Hills has applied for a Commonwealth grant to build a 105 bed nursing home.

Cranbourne MP, Gary Rowe, has thrown his support behind the application, especially in light of the Federal Government listing Cranbourne as a high priority area for nursing beds. Federal MP Ann Corcoran has also raised concerns about the chronic bed shortage 3 months ago. She says there are only 428 beds in the city of Casey, when there should be 675. She recently invited Shadow Health Minister, Stephen Smith, to meet with local Health bodies and the City of Casey to hear their concerns.

Mr. Smith says that there is a problem with the delay of processing aged care funding, rather than a lack of it.

In the meantime, Blue Hills is allocating $2 million to build the aged care facility at Berwick Cranbourne Rd.

WHAT A TEAM!

"The building of a project as big as Blue Hills would not be possible without the efforts of the people involved at every level of the development. From administrative staff to builders, from painters to gardeners... it is due to their efforts that the project is proceeding on time and on budget," says Judy Clarkson, CEO of Blue Hills Residences.
