Have you ever felt the wind whisper secrets from a hilltop? Redstone Hill stands tall near Sunbury. It’s a place of breathtaking views. From its summit you can see the Melbourne city skyline. The Macedon Ranges stretch out before you. Sunbury’s vineyards lie below. Jacksons Creek winds its way through the landscape.
Redstone Hill isn’t just a pretty view though. It holds a special place in Aboriginal history. Legend says it was the site of the Batman ‘treaty’. This is a significant event in the history of Victoria. This makes Redstone Hill more than just a hill. It’s a place where history and nature meet.
The area around Redstone Hill is developing. Villawood Properties is creating a new community. It’s called Redstone Hill. The development is huge. It will cover over 2000 hectares. The plans include a town centre. This town centre will mimic Sunbury’s current township. The design will be traditional. Natural materials and colours will be used. This should blend in well with the surrounding landscape.
This new town centre will include around 30 000 square metres of retail space. The project is costly. Stages one and two alone cost $55 million. But it’s not just about money. This project represents a significant opportunity. It presents a challenge to create architecture that fits into the community.
Imagine strolling along Redstone Hill’s wider grassed nature strips. Picture yourself relaxing in generous open spaces. The undulating paths will be softer on your feet. Redstone Hill isn’t just about new houses and shops. It’s about building a community that respects its history and its environment. This new development will bring new challenges. It will also create opportunities. Perhaps it is a chance for Redstone Hill to write a new chapter in its long and storied history. A history that stretches back to its Aboriginal past. This history continues to this day with the new development. Redstone Hill offers a glimpse into both the past and the future. A future that embraces both progress and heritage.
