Blacktown. Preparing for sales boom

Stakeholders in the $650 million Stonecutters Ridge housing and golf estate, in Colebee, are preparing for a sales boom after a land deal with Ashlar Golf Club was struck earlier this month, according to the Blacktown Advocate. Australand said it had made a deal to secure the 38-hectare Ashlar Golf Club site in Blacktown. The club will move to the 18-hole championship golf course in time for February’s grand opening. The news has spurred a buying blitz from prospective homeowners for stages one and two of the development. Stage three, the Club House Precinct, is still under construction but has yielded 2000 expressions of interest, according to Stonecutters Ridge project director Lloyd Gomez.
