Agent Hooke & MacDonald has just released a new phase of 50 houses with gardens from beautifully presented showhouses. Close to the new four-star Hilton Hotel and the 24-hour Clarehall Shopping Centre, purchasers here are buying into a new concept in urban design in an area of the city being transformed by new parks, schools, offices, shops, cinemas, restaurants and cafes, libraries and community centres.

A Belmayne house is larger than normal - inside and out - with generous floor space, clever internal layout and sizable garden. Buyers have a choice of two-, threeor four-bed houses, all with private gardens or patios and some with garden shed.

All houses have a choice of designer kitchens and include integrated appliances, fitted wardrobes choice of paint colours as well as floor and wall tiling in bathrooms and en-suites.

The attractive district park on the Mayne River bordering the northern portion of Belmayne is a great spot for walks.

Father Collins Park is being completely redeveloped as part of the ambitious plans for the area. An unusual feature of the design is the inclusion of wind turbines to power the park.

It will include 17 playing pitches, children's play areas, a running track and boating lake and represents an exceptional amenity for the residents of Belmayne.
