Restoring the integrity of Warrendine Court

5/12/2013

0 Comments

 
As the original model village for sustainable medium-density housing developments in regional NSW, Warrendine Court represented the achievement of a proud vision shared by State and Federal governments.

However, just as this high goal for green-space allowance (more than 50%) slipped back over the decades to the typical tiny courtyard sizes and lack of common areas seen in new townhouse and villa developments today, Warrendine Court slipped into some decades of unsympathetic maintenance programs and erosion of the visionary principles on which it was commissioned for government design and construction.

By 2011, as the proportion of owner-occupiers increased, and changing demographics brought new understanding and respect for the complex's architectural and socio-political significance to the Body Corporate, the forward planning for Warrendine Court gradually started returning to its original mission statement, if not raison d'etrê.

Today, a subset of the Body Corporate Executive continues research into the complex's history, and drives the argument for future decision-making to preserve and enhance Warrendine Court, and ultimately restore its position as the 'gold-star' benchmark for urban green-space provision and community development.
