The Sanctuary Development Bulletin | March 2024

We are pleased to share an update on the progress at The Sanctuary, Ausbuild’s new master-planned residential community in Warner.

Warner Road Upgrade

The second stage of the road upgrade in front of Stage 3 is complete. We appreciate that Warner Road continues to be a busy area that is experiencing a high volume of vehicle, machinery, and pedestrian traffic. Your safety is our priority so please continue to observe all road signage and changes during the next phase of work which will be dwelling construction across Stages 3 & 4. Please continue to observe speed limits at the slow down areas for wildlife. I will reiterate that we have been advised by the community that not all are adhering to the speed controls. We urge you to please observe these controls for your safety, the wider community’s safety, and our wildlife.

Civil Works – Stages 1 & 2

The first of three new display homes has been completed at 9 Habitat Blvd and the remaining two are in the final stages of construction. During March our landscapers will move across Stages 1 & 2 and tidy up the verges and plant the street trees that we had deferred until the dwellings were built. The common areas including the kick-and-chase zone, experience pathways and community park are complete and fully accessible including the section that had remained incomplete for quite a while. The revegetation in the riparian reserve corridors is rapidly growing albeit for a few areas that did sustain damage during the recent weather event. We are arranging for the damaged areas to be tidied up and replanted where required. It’s a natural matter that will occur occasionally, but it was very pleasing to see just how well the area performed during the event. More wildlife has moved in, with birds and small creatures happily settling into their new home. To protect local wildlife in the riparian reserve, dogs are not permitted in the kick-and-chase zone.

Childcare Centre and Swim School

The childcare centre construction is well underway. The swim school building application has been approved.

Civil Works – Stages 3 & 4

Civil works are complete. Dwelling construction has commenced. To keep the community safe, we will keep the temporary fencing along Habitat Blvd next to the local park to prevent entry into Stages 3 & 4. Additionally, temporary fencing will remain in front of the six lots between the new entry road (Haven St) and 94 Warner Rd. Temporary fencing will also close off the remaining roads into Stage 3 which are, Habitat Blvd and Alcove St. Dwelling construction vehicles will enter Stages 3 & 4 via the construction gate on the northwestern section of Habitat Blvd. Access to the local park and kick-and-chase area will remain available. Dwelling construction work will continue to be undertaken between the approved hours of 6:30 am to 6:30 pm, Monday to Saturday, and subject to weather conditions.

Civil Works – Warner South

Site work for Warner South will commence in late March/early April now that operational work approvals and a contractor tendering process have been finalised, and as always, we will continue to keep you informed through these bulletins. Early works will involve relocating the existing power poles, NBN and Telstra services so there will be disruption as these activities are carried out. More detail will be provided about the properties that will be affected as the service providers acting for NBN and Telstra arrange to undertake the work.

Balance Development – Warner South

As we advised in our last Bulletin we have prepared and lodged a development application over the remaining properties on the southern side of Warner Rd that are detailed in the council’s updated Warner Investigation Area plan (127 (part) and 137 Warner Rd). We responded to a council request for further information on 4 March and will commence public advertising on 6 March and this runs through until 22 April. Details of the application can be found on our website at Community Bulletin and information for The Sanctuary at Warner or the council’s PD Online (DA Tracker). The design is consistent with previously approved layouts for Warner North and South.
