Completed Projects
Little Burra, NSW
Little Burra was a significant project in that it demonstrated the very real benefits of the New South Wales Community Title legislation in the creation of unique rural communities in a more sustainable form. CIC developed the former grazing property about 35 minutes south of Canberra as a joint venture with the land owner.
The 66 home sites offered a standard of convenience beyond that of many rural sites. All blocks were fully fenced, with attractive entry ways and gates. Underground power and telecommunications were provided to all lots, together with a reticulated non-potable water supply, owned and operated by the Little Burra Community Association. Specific controls and initiatives were agreed with the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service to provide protection of sensitive woodland areas within the site. Little Burra won the HIA Housing Estate of the Year award in 2002. The development was completed and the final blocks sold in mid-2003.
