Master Plan
Harrington Grove is essentially the second stage of Sir Warwick Fairfax’s dream. The land has been rezoned, the trees planted, the master plan formulated; the dream is fast approaching a reality.
Harrington Grove is destined to be as successful a community as its predecessor Harrington Park. Offering a wonderful blend of old world traditions and values and a busy contemporary lifestyle, Harrington Grove is where natural surroundings meet urban vision.
Only 40 percent of Harrington Grove will be developed; the balance has been designed for conservation. With the remaining 60% (1200 acres) comprising of over 720 acres of community forest, waterways and public reserve, Harrington Grove is the largest private conservation area in Sydney’s southwest. Designated as a fauna habitat development area, active regeneration and restoration of ecological communities is continually taking place under a comprehensive Conservation Management Plan, creating a safe environment for birds, possums, wallabies and other wildlife to flourish peacefully alongside their human neighbours.
Geographically Harrington Grove encompasses two segments of land – Harrington Grove East and Harrington Grove West. The terrain on both sides is different from the wider region. Its land is more undulating and is fringed by forest and trees, creeks and ponds. A continuous 6.5 kilometre green belt, originating from the Nepean River passes through the centre of Harrington Grove West, then east to Camden Valley Way.
