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.

The award recognises masterplanned developments that are designed for self-sufficiency and provide high standards of design, diversity, and housing choice. Specifically, projects worthy of this award must create a sense of place and include a range of lifestyle and community facilities.

Harrington Grove is a masterplanned community-oriented residential development. It sets new standards in urban form, sympathy to surroundings, community involvement, and a strong sense of place. Its high class facilities include the Harrington Grove Country Club with its resort-style pool, tennis courts, community rooms, fully-equipped gym, amphitheatre, and barbecue areas, as well as the Magnolia Club and future Michelia Club which also offer residents a bounty of facilitates.

Harrington Grove is thrilled to be named the 2014 Australian Residential Development of the Year by the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA).

The national award recognises Harrington Grove as a high quality residential development with a strong social fabric at its core. The development and preservation of the community spirit is key to Harrington Grove, with residents having exclusive access to the Harrington Grove Country Club, two swimming pools, four tennis courts, a gymnasium, barbecue and picnic areas, playgrounds, function rooms, an outdoor amphitheatre and an extensive network of cycleways and pathways. A Community Liaison Team organises a range of events throughout the year, allowing residents to regularly socialise and interact.

The UDIA judges praised Harrington Grove’s respect for the natural environment and were particularly impressed by the overall quality of the development. They also noted the restoration of the bushland and the delicate way it has been integrated into the precincts.
