Living in 20-Minute Neighbourhood: Unveiling Cornus Oakleigh Benefits

Are you curious about what it's like to live in Oakleigh and why it's such a desirable suburb? The area boasts a variety of community amenities that residents want and need, and our Cornus Oakleigh project is situated in the heart of this vibrant community. Picture being able to reach all amenities within a 10-minute walk - it sounds almost too good to be true. This is where the 20-minute neighbourhood concept comes in, an initiative established by the state government to encourage community spirit, promote healthier lifestyles and support local economies. 

Although such neighbourhoods may be challenging to find, our team at Cornus selects locations that adhere to these principles, including our Cornus Oakleigh project. The 20-minute neighbourhood concept is gaining momentum due to its multitude of benefits for individuals, communities and the environment. These neighbourhoods provide easy access to amenities like shops, schools, parks and healthcare facilities, within a short walk or bike ride. This promotes a healthier lifestyle by encouraging active transportation and reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes. They also offer economic benefits by supporting local businesses and reducing household expenses on fuel and car maintenance.

Moreover, 20-minute neighbourhoods help the environment by decreasing car trips, pollutants and CO2 emissions, leading to better air quality and a reduced environmental impact. Additionally, they promote social interaction and strengthen the community's sense of belonging by encouraging people to meet and interact with their neighbours.
