“Award winning design, beautiful countryside surroundings and great community atmosphere. Longyard Estate is a great place to settle.”

Longyard Estate won the prestigious UDIA Award of Excellence in 2005. Set before a panel of judges, and up against some large beachside and waterfront developments, Longyard Estate was officially recognized as one of the best residential estates in Australia.

Longyard Estate surrounds and is integrated with the Greg Norman designed Longyard Golf Course.

The entire estate has been developed using sound urban and environmental design. Consultants that have helped the Longyard dream come to life, are leaders in their fields. Highly regarded architects, urban planners and landscape architects have all helped to create our award winning estate.

The estate has been developed in a number of stages. The beautiful Heights precinct was completed in 2010. It provides access to the outstanding "Peak" precinct, which is currently being marketed.

The Peak is the pinnacle of community living at Longyard.

“New urbanism.”

New Urbanism is the name given to a set of principles used for building walkable, efficient, liveable communities. The idea is to create areas and spaces that everyone in the neighbourhood can utilize. New Urbanism also promotes a variety of lot sizes and a wide demographic mix of people in the neighbourhoods.

New Urbanist developers use highly skilled Urban Planners to create an overall concept which takes into account lot sizes, orientation, public space, landscaping, even details such as style of street lights.

Longyard Estate integrates with residential development; parks, landscaped areas, street tree plantings, community facilities, footpaths, meeting spots, public art, a golf course, The Longyard Hotel, Regional Entertainment Centre, sporting facilities, restaurants and accommodation. We even have our own tourist attraction! “The Golden Guitar”.

The end result is a neighbourhood that gives you access to many of life’s conveniences and leisure activities while also protecting regional open space.

“Longyard Estate showcases environmental sustainable landscaping & development.”

Our goal is to be a MODEL residential development in the areas of:
Landscaping, tree planting and habitat protection
Stormwater and soil quality management
Energy efficient housing orientation and construction

Each street at Longyard Estate is given its own distinctive character through the avenue planting of a selected tree species. Generally these are deciduous trees for summer shade, winter sun and spring and autumn colour.

In addition to avenue planting the planting of native trees (particularly deep-rooted species) is being undertaken throughout the residential areas and on the Longyard Golf Course.

In the area of energy efficiency Longyard Estate has always encouraged smart housing design along with dry weather tolerant turf species and native tree plantings, and will continue to be at the forefront of envcironmental issues.
