Parks & Wetlands

One of the most spectacular features of The Hunt Club is the vast network of parks, open spaces and wetlands. When completed open space will cover 20 hectares of this multi-award winning residential estate. Over three quarters of this open space will be irrigated using Class A recycled water keeping it green and lush all year round.

The Hunt Club Wetlands is the latest addition to the estate located on Broad Oak Drive. This spectacular wetlands and the surrounding parks, paths and BBQ facility cover a massive 4.5 hectares and were officially opened in March 2008 by the Mayor of the City of Casey.

Numerous environmental features have been taken into consideration in the development of The Hunt Club Wetlands. This is highlighted by the fact that the wetlands were filled using a combination of stormwater run-off from the estate and a natural waterway. The surrounding parklands are irrigated using Class A recycled water ensuring they stay healthy all year round and at the same time saving thousands of litres of drinking water each year.

Another key environmental feature of The Hunt Club Wetlands is the nearby Melaleuca forest which underwent a major two year revegetation programme to protect and preserve this valuable plant species for future generations.

To encourage an active, healthy lifestyle a network of more than 10km of walking and bicycle paths will connect the various parks, gardens and wetlands in The Hunt Club.

A large Recreation Reserve for sporting activities is also planned and will be located next door to the prep to year 12 school.

Recycled Water

The Hunt Club was the first residential estate in Victoria to directly supply resident's homes with Class A recycled water for use flushing the toilet and for various outside applications such as watering the garden and car washing.

By using Class A recycled water residents can reduce their drinking water usage by approximately 40 percent. All land for sale in the current stage release, as well as the great value house and land packages, can access this fabulous water-saving initiative reducing household drinking water consumption by up to 40 percent.

The introduction of recycled water is just one of the many sustainable initiatives at The Hunt Club which is why we are one of only five Victorian HIA GreenSmart accredited residential estates
