ACT Chief Minister joins Stockland and DOMA Group to celebrate completion of The Parks
Stockland has welcomed ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr to celebrate the completion of The Parks, a vibrant masterplanned community located in the bustling suburb of Red Hill.
The community, developed in partnership with Canberra-based DOMA Group, comprises 83 townhomes, 25 freestanding homes, and 136 apartments, and is close to Canberra’s CBD, shops and parklands.
Stockland EGM Masterplanned Communities Mike Davis said today marked an important milestone for the community.
“We understand that Canberrans are looking for more than just a home, they are looking for a place to live, work and play. Our vision for The Parks was to create a village-style neighbourhood which blended seamlessly with the Inner South’s character, environment and community spirit,” Mr Davis said.
“It’s always rewarding to celebrate the completion of a community with our residents and see them bring it to life.”
Mr Davis said as the ACT’s population continues to grow and as the need for housing remains critical, it was important to work with the ACT government to increase the supply of quality and diverse housing options to the region.
“Our major cities will continue to support population growth and it is important that we focus on creating connected communities which support long-term sustainable growth,” he said.
“For more than 25 years we have partnered with Canberra based businesses and builders to support the local economy and deliver housing and social infrastructure and we look forward to continuing that work in the region.”
ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the completion of The Parks marks a new era for the suburb.
“Red Hill is approaching 100 years since it was gazetted in 1928. I am pleased to be welcoming a new community to one of ACT's original suburbs, that will contribute to the housing choice and diversity of our growing city,” the Chief Minister said.
“Through a strong partnership between Stockland and DOMA, this development puts the well-being of the community first, while supporting economic growth in the area.”
DOMA Development Director, Chris Farrington said the group was proud to have partnered with Stockland on The Parks.
“The Parks is a thoughtfully designed community that reflects the charm and character of Canberra’s Inner South. This collaboration has delivered a diverse range of high-quality homes, providing residents with a connected and vibrant lifestyle in a sought-after location,” Mr Farrington said.
“The completion of The Parks marks an important milestone in delivering considered urban development, and we are delighted to see the community come to life.”
