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.
Oakleigh satisfies all six criteria of a 20-minute neighbourhood, as outlined by the government:
Our Cornus Oakleigh project is located within a 20-minute neighbourhood, and residents will have access to everything Oakleigh has to offer, including:
Education: Sacred Heart Primary and High School and Oakleigh Primary School all within a 10-minute walk from the project.
Public spaces: Local parks such as Warrawee Park, Caloola Reserve, Scotchmans Creek and Allan Street Playground are all located within a 10-minute walk.
Shopping and dining: Oakleigh's Eaton Mall, which is home to various shops, restaurants, and cafes, is only a 12-minute walk and Chadstone a 15-minute walk from our project.
Sports and recreation: Residents can indulge in post-work and weekend recreational activities by walking to the Oakleigh Recreation Centre, Oakleigh Bowling Club, or the Oakleigh Tennis Club, all within a 10-minute walk from the project.
Public transport: The 903 and 625 buses are also within a 10-minute walk from the project, whilst Oakleigh Station is only 1.2km away.
Health facilities: The Oakleigh Medical Centre is only a 10-minute walk away.
Living within a 20-minute neighbourhood provides various benefits, including healthier lifestyles, increased property prices, thriving local economies and stronger communities. At Cornus, we are proud to provide modern housing solutions that are located within such thriving communities. The 20-minute neighbourhoods offer a holistic approach to sustainable living by promoting health, economic growth, environmental protection, and social cohesion.
