People wishing to secure a Laurina homesite are urged to act quickly, with less than 50 lots still available. Sales in the most recent precinct have progressed well, with many buyers commenting on the convenient location, bushland surroundings, Laurina Park and proximity to Macarthur Anglican School. It is also located just 300 metres from the planned Michelia Club.

Residents and locals would also be aware of the host of road upgrades around Harrington Grove. The new roundabout on Cobbitty Road at the entrance to Laurina and Macarthur Anglican School provides residents with a safe and easy entry point to their new homesites, as well as providing better access for those entering the school grounds. Meanwhile the upgrade of Dan Cleary Drive permits better access to the Harrington Grove Country Club and Magnolia Club for residents right across Harrington Grove.

Laurina is the seventh precinct to be released at Harrington Grove. Araucaria, Lomandra Rise, Maculata, Dianella and Magnolia have all sold out, while Wildfire has a limited number of homesites available and Laurina will be sure to sell out soon thereafter.

Harrington Grove’s extensive network of shared pathways and enchanted bushland make it the ideal place to get outdoors and get fit. It is especially beautiful in summer, when the days are longer and the bush is vibrant and alive. However, it is crucial to exercise with caution during the warmer months to ensure you’re safe against the heat. Mark Molumby, Director of Grove Health & Fitness, has the following tips to beat the heat:

• Always carry a bottle of water with you when walking, jogging or cycling in the heat, and ensure you’re hydrated before you set off  
• When possible exercise at dawn or dusk when the weather is cooler and the sun is less vigorous
• Use insect repellents to avoid nasty bites
• Wear lightweight clothes (workout clothes are best) to keep cooler
• Slowly build up your summer workouts; your body needs to gradually adjust to your activity during the warmer months. Don’t push it without having built up to it
• Recognise the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which range from headaches to high fever. Seek medical attention if necessary

“The most important thing is to use common sense in deciding what is safe and what may prove dangerous. Be sensible about what your body can tolerate, and enjoy it,” says Mark.
