Chocolate, hot cross buns and squeals from overjoyed children rang out throughout Harrington Grove as the festivities of Easter were in full force.

The Harrington Hop was lapped up by parents and children of Harrington Grove alike in an afternoon of Easter merriment. The adults enjoyed fresh hot cross buns slathered in butter, accompanied by a free coffee from the coffee van. They were able to enjoy them in peace, as their children were completely enthralled in their chocolate goodie bags, an Alice in Wonderland-inspired show, a range of arts and crafts projects, striking face painting and a visit from the Easter Bunny himself, who had even more eggs to hand out!

Residents went home with full tummies, full Easter baskets and complete engagement with the Easter spirit.

The long-awaited construction of Michelia Club is well and truly underway, with the site becoming a hive of activity in the past few months. Due for completion later this year, Michelia Club is located on the western side of Harrington Grove and will provide easy access to even more world class facilities for all residents.

Complemented by the Harrington Grove Country Club and Magnolia Club, Michelia Club has been developed for Harrington Grove’s discerning residents. It offers a lifestyle unlike any other, facilitated by a full-sized tennis court, swimming pool, barbecue facilities, children's playground, picnic areas, gazebo, communal seating areas and a gymnasium.

Whatever the season, Michelia Club will be sure to sparkle. From spectacular indoor settings residents will be able to soak in the beautiful sights from the large windows in the cooler months, while summertime will bring with it a range of outdoor opportunities that will create memories forever. The quality and size of the club is set to be a real highlight, luring residents in with the same class and sophistication that has become synonymous with Harrington Grove.

Australia Day 2018 at Harrington Grove was our largest event ever, with over 800 people turning out on a bright summer’s day to celebrate the day as a community.

To be expected, the pool was the hot ticket for the day, but for those a bit more adventurous, four giant waterslides were another great option for kids and adults alike to cool down.

At midday, we fired up the BBQ and the free sausage sizzle fed the crowd for the whole day, with snow cones and Ice-cream giving everyone a sweet treat.

Summertime is a truly spectacular season at Harrington Grove. The sleeves are shorter and we get used to not having to take a jacket with us when we venture out! The community facilities beckon residents with promises of refreshing dips and neighbourly laughs, and the longer days tempt everyone to go slower and soak it all in.

During the warmer months, the Harrington Grove Country Club and Magnolia Club become homes away from home for Harrington Grove residents. The Michelia Club is also available to residents and each offer pools and barbecue facilities that are ideal for whiling away the afternoon or enjoying a twilight swim. The lush green lawns are ideal for casual picnics and energetic children alike, while the full-sized tennis courts and gyms provide even more options.

With everyone having a bit more time on their hands, summer is the ideal time to set up community events. Why not start a round robin tennis tournament? Perhaps a touch footy competition? Even a mums and bubs casual swimming session? With a range of world-class facilities accessible within walking distance, Harrington Grove residents have a bounty of endless summertime possibilities at their fingertips.

Harrington Grove residents already enjoy a central and convenient location close to schools, shopping precincts, cafes and restaurants. Now the area will be even better linked without compromising on its quiet location.

Upgrades to Oran Park Drive

Harrington Estates has recently completed important upgrades to Oran Park Drive, which will be sure to improve traffic flow and safety in the area. Oran Park Drive is an important thoroughfare for residents of Catherine Park Estate and Harrington Grove, as well as families of students from St Justins and St Benedicts. In order to cater for the increasing volume of road users, Harrington Estates undertook the road upgrades to ensure that travelling on Oran Park Drive is safer, faster and easier.

Special by name and by nature, Dancerwood is an outstanding opportunity to be a part of the prestigious Harrington Grove community and furthermore a chance to play a part in completing the Harrington Grove story.

Harrington Grove began as a dream of a magnificent estate over the rolling hills and vast fields of the rural Macarthur region. Today the dream is a reality and nearing completion. Time is running out to secure your own piece of this exquisitely beautiful and unique part of Sydney.

Dancerwood is the last land release of its kind in Harrington Grove and the second last release before Harrington Grove is complete – a community celebrated for the past 25 years and nationally recognised for its outstanding community planning and design, community development and sustainability.

One of the most important aspects of how Harrington Estates have approached Harrington Grove is the preservation of large areas of Cumberland Plan Woodland within the estate.

Despite early stages of the development requiring the removal of some areas of bushland, embracing and nurturing large areas of the surrounding Harrington Forest have always been central to the long-term vision for Harrington Grove. To further enhance this vision, Harrington Estates have created a sustainable funding model to ensure the continued growth and preservation of natural flora.

To further improve the biodiversity of the local area and to provide additional funds for the management of the bushland, Harrington Estates entered into an agreement with the Commonwealth Department of the Environment to establish a native seed nursery onsite to substantially increase the diversity of plant species used in local revegetation projects.

A pilot nursery was established to test the viability of growing small, herbaceous species in a controlled environment and collecting the seed to use in local revegetation projects.

The success of the pilot nursery has allowed Harrington Estates to invest in upgrading the nursery to a commercial scale operation, with the funds from the sale of seed to revegetation projects going towards the long-term maintenance of bushland in Harrington Grove and nearby Catherine Park Estate.

This has allowed additional financial support for an existing community scheme as well as increasing the diversity of species used.
Harrington Estates are proud of their efforts to boost and revegetate the areas within and surrounding their projects, providing a long-term environmental solution.

All of us from Harrington Grove would like to wish everyone a happy and safe festive season.

From growing our community by welcoming new families to being named the Best Master-planned Community in NSW by the Urban Development Institute of Australia, 2016 was another great year at Harrington Grove.

Residents already agree that Harrington Grove is a magical place to live but the most recent award provides even stronger evidence. Harrington Grove has been named the best Masterplanned Community in NSW (2016) by the UDIA NSW | Meriton Awards for Excellence. The award recognises masterplanned developments that are self-sufficient and offer high standards of design. But most importantly, it is the sense of place and range of community facilities that are most sought in awarding this title.

This complements Harrington Grove’s award for Australian Residential Development of the Year (2014). The judges for that year’s Urban Development Institute of Australia Awards for Excellence noted the holistic approach and respect for the natural environment in Harrington Grove.

“The judges were particularly impressed by the overall quality of the development and attention to detail in every facet of the project. The restoration of bushland and creek lines and their integration with the residential precincts is exemplary," stated the award notes by the judges.

The UDIA NSW | Meriton Awards for Excellence has named Harrington Grove as the best 2016 Masterplanned Community in NSW.

Just think...the highest grade of steak from premium Riverine cattle, aged for at least 6 weeks using a combination of time-honoured processes for enhancing flavour and tenderness. Imagine glistening marinade crossed with char marks on your Rib Eye Steak. On the Bone. Harrington’s signature steak, topped with chips or mash, and vegies, and your choice of melt-in-your-mouth gravy or red wine jus. It’s a dish that exemplifies the approach at Harringtons Bar + Grill – simple and uncomplicated food that doesn’t rely on fancy garnishes and plating.

It's real food - really good.

Here you can expect casual and relaxed dining at its best 6 days and nights a week. Why not meet friends for lunch and drinks on the balcony, or brunch on the weekend with family, and splash out on a romantic dinner for two on a Saturday night.

While the Great Australian Dream is rapidly downsizing across Sydney and increasing in cost, Harrington Grove is once again proving the exception. Homesites within the latest Michelia release start at a generous 700m², offering room to build the home you've always wanted, without the compromises.

The commitment of the estate to large homesites reflects the desire in people for wide open spaces. To allow families room to grow, room to dream and room to live. With average new medium lots in Sydney measuring in at 450m², and even down to just 200m² in more densely populated areas, Michelia represents generous space at excellent value.

With a canvas this large, there's no need to limit the imagination. No longer will you need to choose between a rumpus room, office or home theatre. At Harrington Grove, it's all possible with room to spare.

An entire section of modern literature is devoted to describing the benefits of social connections. Strong connections are crucial to modern life for everything from emotional wellbeing to physical health, and all of this goes back to where we live, the people we meet and those we share our space with.

At Harrington Grove, this is where we excel.

'The key to a happy life,' says author and psychologist Paul Bloom, 'is sustained relationships, challenging work and connections to the community.' This has never been easier to achieve than at Harrington Grove, where neighbourhood centres, local parks and winding paths connect the land as much as it does the people, building a firm foundation for a strong and social community.

The street trees are an important feature of Harrington Grove and provide the beautiful tree-lined streets you see today. In addition to their aesthetic value, trees act as habitats and food sources for a range of local fauna while yielding positive environmental returns. Although trees can be very forgiving of any ‘green thumb’ mistakes, the following tips can help ensure that your trees remain strong and colourful:

1. WATERING

Give your trees a good soaking at least once a week. Trees require more water than turf, so do not rely on lawn irrigation as it does not provide sufficient water.

2. FERTILISING

Fertilise your tree once a year with a good organic fertiliser. Spring is always a good time to fertilise.

Homesites in Michelia combine the best of the bushland and the Harrington Grove lifestyle benefits. All starting from 700m², a great number of these homesites boast splendid bushland outlooks that create a feeling of serenity and spaciousness.

Harrington Grove Country Club

The stunning Harrington Grove Country Club forms the epicentre of the Harrington Grove community.

Harrington Park House and Orielton Homestead are two of the most historic houses in NSW, respectively located at the heart of Harrington Park and Harrington Grove. As part of the planning and rezoning of Harrington Grove, Harrington Estates undertook plans to restore both houses.

The full restoration of Harrington Park House has been undertaken and has now been completed.

Meanwhile, restoration of Orielton Homestead is well underway and is expected to take another 12 months. The work is intricate and painstaking, and there have been many special measures implemented in order to protect the delicate materials and fixtures. For example, an on-site joinery shop has been established to recreate the architecture of the past without the unnecessary wear and tear caused by travel. Orielton Homestead is prominent in the Harrington Park locality, being highly visible from The Northern Road.
