“The vision for a project like this is realised in the planning stages and the planning that Chris Smith & Associates have done has made this into a fantastic project.

“From this stage now, people will be able to ride their bikes or walk on connected pathways all the way into Shepparton and even over to Mooroopna, which is fantastic. The linkage is now complete which is just wonderful.

“Families enjoy living in Kialla Lakes because of the facilities. It’s exercise friendly and you just see so many people out and about running, walking, riding and just enjoying life. That’s really special for us to witness and that’s something that has continued throughout all stages of the project.”

Engineers for Kialla Lakes, Chris Smith & Associates director, Chris Mepham said, “This precinct of Kialla Lakes alone has been an eight year project with rezoning

“The display village has set the

and planning works. To see it coming to realisation is just wonderful.

“At the other end of Sanctuary Drive on the Goulburn Valley Highway we’ll have traffic lights going in later this year, we’re just completing the design work for that currently so we anticipate that will make aggie Avenue Glenm access in and out a lot easier.

“People will also soon be able to access Kialla Lakes from both the Goulburn Valley Highway and Archer Street, which will make it very convenient for residents to access arterial roads to the south and to the north and we expect completion of access by approximately May. “Our extensive wetlands precinct, provides for treatment of waters before they are released into the Waterbird Creek. The treatment drains, sedimentation and fauna have been carefully and deliberately designed to e Br a wetlands sanctuary, which we’re create y lac P e P of. We expect thatgaAutumn really dproud r lace Nean Damien will see planting really establish.

Preston from Preston’s Turf and Garden has created the landscaping around that entire area which is wonderful and we’re looking forward to the next couple of months seeing that whole area really develop nicely.”

Graham continued, “The confirmation of the inclusion of a school in the precinct has also really solidified the interest of local families in the precinct. We envision that children in the area will be able to walk and ride their bikes to school in the future which is wonderful.

“Greater Shepparton City Council have been very supportive in facilitating and assisting Kavant Nominees and Chris Smith & Associates in supporting the vision and enabling a leading edge subdivision for the people of Shepparton, particularly the Planning and Engineering Departments have been tremendous in their support of the project.

“Now and into the future, Kialla Lakes really is a great place to live.”

The vision One of regional

Victoria’s largest estates KIALLA Lakes Estate began as a masterful vision, which could best be described as ambitious and certainly ahead of its time. It’s almost 35 years ago now that local developers, Kavant Nominees began works on their vision and with the support of a dedicated team of local experts in planning, engineering and development, Kialla Lakes Estate has progressively been realised.

The estate’s intricate network of pathways and landscaped parks and gardens have come together to create what is an unrivalled lifestyle estate.

Kialla Lakes Estate today continues to grow on the foundations of its original vision and provide what is the ideal connection between family, lifestyle and ‘home’.

SEEING DEVELOPMENTS FROM THE GROUND UP… Kavant Nominees founding director, Lance Woodhouse looks over an old edition of The Adviser newspaper, which features articles about the Kialla Lakes Estate back in 1997. Photo: Nicholise Garner

Developing the dream of an outstanding estate WHEN Kavant Nominees Pty Ltd purchased some farming land to the South of the Broken River, the directors realised its potential as the site for an outstanding residential development.

They sought the advice of Grahame Shaw who was responsible for the development of Patterson Lakes in Melbourne. Grahame plastered the walls of the council chamber of the shire of Shepparton with his proposal. The council agreed with his basic ideas and so began the first stage of Kialla Lakes Estate. Grahame’s concept has been followed throughout the estate with some variations. Sadly, Grahame passed away before any work had commenced.

Because the first two lakes (Lake Kialla and Lake Amaroo) were constructed in the anabranch of the Broken River, which passes through the property, the board resolved to make Kialla Lakes Estate an outstanding residential housing development. That resulted in the estate receiving an award from the Urban Development Association of Victoria as the most outstanding development of its type in Victoria.

A third lake (Lowanna Waters) was created in the Southern part of the estate

and at the most Southern part, Waterbird Park and the attractive stormwater retention basin were developed.

There are many stages still to be developed.

The current directors are Lance Woodhouse, Chris Baldwin, David Fordyce, Graham Hofmeyer and Will Van Zeist. Previous directors have been Max Brown, Peter Ross-Edwards and Norm

McArthur, all of whom are now deceased.

A dream has now become a reality at Kialla Lakes and the directors hope that the present and future residents in the estate will continue to enjoy living there.

Eighteen blocks are still available in these two stages.

Stage 35 B near Falcon Park will continue the display village popularity as further display homes are opened.

Significantly, stage 36 has continued the success of Kialla Lakes Estate with keen interest shown already.

It’s hardly surprising with the imminent construction of a primary and secondary school which will cater for approximately 100 students initially and several 100 students in the future.

The major new school will prove a boon for home builders, residents and investors for many years to come.

The sheer convenience of a primary – secondary school in your neighbourhood is brilliant for many families who are already located at Kialla Lakes and of course for those future residents planning to build there.

Innovation and efficiency from inception CHRIS Smith & Associates has had a long association with Kialla Lakes, in fact, the civil engineering, land surveying and urban and regional planning firm have been involved in the popular and highly successful estate since the project’s inception in 1979.

As part of their involvement, Chris Smith & Associates helped to design the ecologically friendly wetlands structure, which will provide a biologically diverse and productive ecosystem with a variety of plant life, and will support a wide variety of birds and other native animals.

Chris Smith & Associates engineering designer, Lisa Stevens said, “This is the biggest project I have been involved with.”

Chris Smith & Associates manager engineering, Chris Mepham said, “There is a lot that goes into it to make it all come together that perhaps people aren’t aware of. We have 60,000 cubic metres of soil that was required to be moved for the development of the wetlands, which has been going back toward being used as filling material for future lot developments.”

School construction commencing mid year THE development and construction of the new Our Lady of Mercy College on its 29 acre site in Waterbird Court, Kialla Lakes is making great progress and is set to commence mid year.

THE early childhood to end of year 12 school facility, is anticipated to accommodate up to 600 primary school aged students, 700 secondary aged students and up to 160 eventual staff members.

The need for the additional school was first identified in early 2000 when the significant growth in the Shepparton South precinct grew beyond the maximum capacity of nearby St Mel’s Primary School.

Over the years some 12 potential sites were considered, almost all of these potential sites were ruled out due to flooding concerns. In 2010 a suitable parcel of land in the new Kialla Lakes

precinct was identified and the process to purchase the land was commenced.

Catholic Education Office Sandhurst Assistant to the Director of Planning and Resources, Tom Sexton said, “It’s a very exciting project and we’re looking forward to starting the building works as early as mid year with anticipated opening for the 2019 school year.

“We’ve been thrilled with the cooperation we’ve received from developers of Kialla Lakes, Kavant Nominees, they’ve been excellent in helping us along the way.

“This project is great for the Shepparton community into the future. A large school like this will certainly assist in accommodating families in the region as the community continues to grow.

“And it will certainly create a number of new employment positions initially, which is also a really good indicator for the region.”
