The team at Satterley is thrilled to be part of the journey to transform the Carawatha Residential Development Site in Willagee into a place that offers suburban living at its best: Gallery.

Bound by Carawatha Park and the tree-lined streets of North Lake Road and Archibald Street, a number of mature trees will be retained within the development precinct to continue the green, leafy feel of the area that people know and love. Future residents living here will be able to walk to existing local shops and easily reach places further afield with public transport stops on their doorstep. 

As the final stage of the City of Melville's revitalisation plan for the Carawatha site, provision of residential development offers a truly unique opportunity to live in a brand new home within an established suburb with all the lifestyle conveniences and a sense of community that comes from being founded in 1952.

Where is the site?

Officially described as Lot 300 and Diagram 48935, the development site is bound by the Birra-li Child Care Centre and Braemar Retirement Village to the north, Archibald Street to the south, North Lake Road to the east and Carawatha Park/Stacey Street to the west. Some may remember it as the Carawatha Primary School, which ceased operations in 2005 and was subsequently purchased by the City of Melville as part of the revitalisation plan for Willagee. Portions of the site have already been developed by the City with the completion of Carawatha Park and bushland. The final stage of development is to transform the balance of the site into a place where people can call home.

Inspiration behind the design

Sustainable, integrated, attractive and contemporary are set to be the hallmarks of the new neighbourhood precinct. The Carawatha Design Guidelines have been set up to inform all aspects of the development from building designs, materials and colours through to streetscapes and green communal spaces to protect the integrity of the vision for the area. After being endorsed by Council in March 2019, Local Planning Policy 4.5 Carawatha Development Design Guidelines (LPP4.5) were advertised for public viewing and formal comment between 12 March - 5 April 2019. They have since been endorsed and are now available on the City of Melville's website.

Why is the site being developed?

The City of Melville purchased the former Carawatha Primary School site in 2006 recognising the opportunity it presented to enhance and invigorate the suburb of Willagee. The City worked with the community to create a vision for the site, which was formally adopted by Council as the Willagee Structure Plan in 2013. The first two development stages of the site were undertaken in 2016 with the completion of the bushland area as stage 1 and Carawatha Park as stage 2. Following an extensive procurement process, Satterley was selected by the City to enter into a joint development partnership to deliver the third and final stage of the revitalisation project, which will deliver Willagee a high-quality residential development designed to complement the local character and natural surrounds of the area.
