Balpara has been chosen as the Electrical Consultant for Windermere incorporating design and project management. 


Project Overview


Wyndham City Council is creating a new city in the western suburbs. The new estate of Windermere Mambourin, 38 km from Melbourne’s CBD, is an enormous undertaking worth $1.9 billion according to developer Riseland Holdings.


Riseland Holdings is a Hong Kong based multinational real estate conglomerate, offering a wide range of services such as Residential Development, Commercial Real Estate operation, Property Management and Infrastructure Construction and Operation.


A project spanning 10 years, Windermere is a 363-hectare master-planned community nestled in the suburb of Mambourin. When completed in 2030 it will be home to 14,000 residents across 4700 lots. It incorporates 50 hectares of parklands, wetlands and a natural creek reserve. The estate includes four proposed schools (three state schools and one private school), a local convenience retail centre and 23 hectares of active open space, including bike paths, sports ovals, netball and tennis courts.


It is also close to major new transport infrastructure, such as the planned Outer Metropolitan Ring Road, major road upgrades and a proposed new rail station just outside the estate.
