No matter where you live at Waterhaven, a
short walk will have you arriving at Skeleton
Creek. With established walking/cycling trails
alongside the waterway, it’s the perfect place to
enjoy some exercise while taking in the natural
environment. The trail links up with others,
eventually leading all the way to the bay.

iving at the recently released Islands
precinct at Waterhaven estate equals
a short walk to all the natural beauty
on offer at the Point Cook development.
Dividing the well-established estate in two
is a picturesque waterway and on the north
side, opposite the now-selling stage 10 and
11 lots, will be a parkland haven. Expected to
open mid-2015, the 1.3ha area will include: a
playground with equipment for children of all
ages, grassed open space to kick a ball or have
a game of cricket, a circuit around the park for
walkers and joggers, seating areas, a picnic
shelter and an observation deck looking to the
waterways, which are man-made wetlands
that lead to a creek.
For all residents, a short stroll from home
takes them to Skeleton Creek and the
surrounding parkland.
The developer of Waterhaven is Hallmarc
and the company’s director, Michael Loccisano,
says the creek outlook has inspired the
estate’s design, including the addition of an
architecturally designed bridge, extending
more than 200m, connecting the south and
north sides of the estate over the waterways.
“We’ve created an estate that focuses the
outlook on expansive wetlands and the natural
creek formation that runs through the estate,”
Michael says. “It’s created this wonderful
outlook of vast open space and wetlands ... it’s
always looking lush and green with birdlife
there. It’s a real sanctuary.”
Plus, Michael says, Waterhaven offers the
luxury of larger-than-average block sizes,
easy access to transport links (direct freeway
access, and an easy walk to Williams Landing
station) and the convenience of Point Cook
Town Centre (Coles, Target, Aldi and specialty
stores) just 900m away.
Also recently launched is Waterhaven’s
Promenade townhouses precinct, with several
now open for inspection. So far, more than 400
lots of a total 700 are sold. ■
