A pioneering project that broadened horizons, innovative Parkland Estates created a new lifestyle paradigm for Rotorua. The gated subdivision welcomed the country to town with its 34 freehold parkland lots overlooking Lake Rotorua, Mokoia Island and the panorama of the Rotorua caldera. Not only was it a groundbreaking development, Parkland Estates was in hot demand well before being released to the market and sold out in less than two weeks.

A class development from the very beginning, the estate encapsulates the very essence of EDL’s motto: Enhancing Our Environment. Formerly a dairy run-off farm, the subdivision has been regenerated through revegetation and professional landscaping. Walking tracks, open grass areas and the planting of over 60,000 native trees create an aesthetic green environment, which is complemented by quality houses set on individually styled sites that blend with the surroundings.

This well thought-out project, executed in meticulous detail, involved extensive consultation. EDL worked collaboratively with iwi to ensure the preservation of an historical pa site. Directors also engaged in collaborative consultation with local and regional council. Parkland Estates was created from Rural A land under an intense district plan change process, with the final outcome the creation of a new zone.

Sites are fully serviced and have strict landscaping and building design guidelines. Protective land covenants mean that eco-sensitive Parkland Estates will retain its value and legacy well into the future.

Marketing statistics reveal that housing prices in the area have increased as a direct result of this remarkable, leading-edge development.
