Brookside Village Featherston
The original aim of the development was to be a world-leading example of the pocket neighbourhood design style for the segment of the market who choose to live in community. This vision has had to be significantly modified due to planning constraints and the interim development approved has been standard suburbia.
“The interest is high because I'm proposing to provide affordable housing for people who have very few other options. Pretty much everyone who hears about it, and isn't looking for a gold-plated dream 200sqm house with three bathrooms, is interested."
