Tamworth’s most sought-after address has sold out, with the last homesite at Lampada officially exchanging this week.
Hunter-based development group, McCloy Group have delivered the project over the last 9 years, with an outlook to “build communities not just develop land” stated James Goode McCloy Group Development Director.
Their boutique community saw 283 homesites delivered for the region along with a fresh approach to development. They placed a strong emphasis on creating exceptional living environments with vibrant public art and aesthetically serene streetscapes, fast tracked the development of a children’s playground and invested in mature street trees and landscaping to enhance open space. Public art was also a key element of the cultural foundation of Lampada, with instalments dedicated to the community at the entry and in shared open space areas.
“The integration of public art and a park and playground was a core focal point for us. Our team worked with Tamworth Council to approve and deliver these facilities ahead of schedule through a Works in Kind agreement for residents.”
“It has been great to see so many young families enjoy these facilities and enter the property market to build their family home at Lampada” commented Mr Goode.
Take a drive through the development and you’ll see careful attention has been paid to the aesthetics and amenities of the community. The selections that characterise Lampada are deliberate, from the entry feature selection; to the curves in the footpath creating a pleasant ‘country meander’ for residents to walk.
A humble nod to the history of the site was also paid through the theming of the community with its name, Lampada being Italian for “light” paying homage to the fact that Tamworth had the first electric streetlights in Australia.
Lampada quickly became quickly known for its impressive park and playground facilities, variety of block sizes and as an affordable land offering within Tamworth. Not to mention its contribution to the 2020 project ‘The House that Drought Built’ alongside Tamworth Regional Council and GJ Gardner which sits proudly at the Burgess Lane entry to the community. A project which saw local businesses come together, build a home and donate proceeds after auction to the Salvation Army to support local drought affected families.
Now complete, the McCloy Group have shared thanks to residents both old and new and the wider community which had so warmly welcomed Lampada.
“Being able to bring this new housing opportunity to Tamworth alongside the Nesbitt family and Tamworth Regional Council has been a positive and rewarding experience. Credit should also be paid to the residents for the quality homes built here, which all contributed to the excellent reputation of Lampada in the area” noted Mr Goode.
If you are still in the market for land for your dream home, the McCloy Group remain active in the New England Region, with sister site Cookes Hill making progress at Armidale. For more information on this new project visit cookeshill.com.au
