Provence is Busselton's first masterplanned community, growing along a carefully defined path that ensures a beautiful place for people to live.
Its namesake region in France is known for its welcoming villages, where delicious wine and local produce are enjoyed within close-knit, self-sufficient communities. This new Provence, admist the abundance of WA's South West is designed to create this kind of life - with naturally, a few West Australian twists.
Provence will provide everything that's wonderful about village life: an active centre where people can gather and connect, a variety of its own amenities, a diversity of people and homes, a relaxed, comfortable mood - and importantly, a strong sense of community.
As a result of its comprehensive masterplan, Provence will contain all you need for enjoyable day-to-day living.
The overall masterplan includes a convenience store, cafe, day-care centre and public school and more. There will be eight themed and beautifully landscaped parks and public spaces, complete with playgrounds, sports fields and other facilities. In all, there'll be 36 hectares of lakes, parkland and walking and cycle paths.
The Georgiana Molloy Private College already has around 833 students in Kindergarten to Year 12, plus another 23 students in the 3 year old programme "Little Georgies" taking the number of students to over 850. Beyond this outstanding co-ed college, there are plans for government primary and middle schools.
All of Provence's children will be able to take full advantage of a safe and superbly landscaped environment of stylish themed and well resourced, landscaped public open spaces and parks.
With the total community growing to around 6000 residents it is important to plan a sustainable community in every sense.
The ongoing health of community life itself has been given substantial attention in the planning of Provence. The extensive Community Development Program initiates regular community functions, annual public events, concerts and educational workshops, all for the enjoyment of residents and the weaving if the estates social fabric.
Environmentally, the estate has responded thoughtfully to its location. The majority of remnant native vegetation has been retained in the masterplan, which incorporates specific management plans to care for the local Western Ringtail Possums and Western Grey Kangaroos.
To maximise a cosmopolitan mix of ages and lifestyles, Provence will offer a range of block sizes to suit all lifestyles, whether you are a first homebuyer, needing to upsize for a growing family or downsize to an easier way of life, Provence has something for everyone.
