ABUNDANT OPEN SPACES From lush parklands with picnic areas, to wetlands with an abundance of wildlife, it’s easy to stroll around Fairwater and see how it’s made brilliant by nature. Every home at Fairwater is within walking distance of a park, so you can spend quality time in the great outdoors and embrace all the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

DEDICATED CYCLEWAYS, INCLUDING ‘LEARN TO RIDE’ BIKE TRACK

Most Fairwater homes have ducted climate control air conditioning connected to a geothermal heating and cooling system to save you money and keep your family comfortable.

Enjoy the fresh air as you ride your bike along the dedicated cycleways that connect Fairwater’s parks and waterways. There’s even a ‘Learn-toRide’ Park for the kids. Create lasting memories as you help your little ones learn to ride their bikes in the safety of this specially designated outdoor training ground.

ACCESS TO A RANGE OF HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAMS WATER SENSITIVE URBAN DESIGN

Fairwater is designed to promote an active lifestyle with a range of healthy living programs, dedicated cycleways, walkways, outdoor fitness stations, a ‘Learn-to-Ride’ bike park, children’s play area, and numerous parks where you can enjoy picnics or kick a ball around.

Fairwater’s free ‘Live Life Get Active’ health and wellness program, devised by Olympian Jane Flemming, keeps our community in shape and connected. A qualified ‘Live Life Get Active’ trainer is on site every weekday to coach participants through free fitness training sessions, including yoga, active boxing and active cross training.

RELIABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORT OPTIONS Conveniently positioned just one kilometre from Blacktown, Fairwater is surrounded by well-serviced bus and train lines, while cycleways, walkways and access to major roads make it easy to get around.

Efficient fixtures and rainwater tanks used for flushing toilets, washing machines and outdoor taps are installed in all Fairwater homes, saving water for the environment and money for you.

Clever engineering allows us to capture stormwater overland flow in the Fairwater ponds, cleaning and rejuvenating it before it’s released, thereby protecting local watercourses.

This detaining of stormwater also helps reduce the summer air temperature at Fairwater.

INNOVATIVE, GEOTHERMAL HEATING AND COOLING

Fairwater boasts the largest use of geothermal technology in the southern hemisphere.

How it works A conventional cooling and heating system would reject heat to the outside, instead the geothermal system rejects heat into the ground where it is a constant temperature. This enables the air conditioning system to run more efficiently over conventional systems; converting directly into cost savings.

Step 1.

The unit circulates a refrigerant vapour through pipes down into the earth to absorb the heat in the naturally cooler, and stable, sub surface temperatures.

Step 2.

With excess heat removed, the cooled refrigerant condenses into a liquid. This liquid expands through an expansion device, lowers the pressure, and causes the temperature to reduce even further.

Step 3.

The cooled refrigerant is then circulated through the fan coil unit, cooling your home and absorbing the excessive heat from the interior air. This causes the refrigerant to expand back into a vapour. The cycle repeats.

Connected community

Every home at Fairwater is designed with the modern Australian family in mind. Expertly crafted to maximise space and create generous living areas inside and out, our homes make room for families to grow, in comfort and style. Distinctive building materials have been used to create a unique architectural expression that responds naturally to the environment, with light-coloured roofing strategically employed to keep homes cooler, and minimise cooling costs in summer.

Whatever stage your children are at in life, there is an education facility to suit them, all just a short distance away.

From highly regarded childcare centres, primary and secondary schools, to respected tertiary institutions such as the Blacktown campus of University of Western Sydney and Blacktown TAFE. And there’s more on the way. Australian Catholic University( ACU) will partner with Blacktown Council in building a university campus within the Blacktown CBD with first student enrolments scheduled for 20214.

Fairwater’s dedicated Community Manager coordinates a busy program of social and cultural activities, and is on hand to help residents create their own special interest groups.

The bustling activities calendar lists everything from art lessons to Zumba, including kid’s cooking classes, sports clinics, tutorials on how to grow your own herbs, and the annual community Christmas party in the park. There’s always something exciting happening in the Fairwater community; all you have to do is pop by and ask.
