Wilson Drive, Hill Top
- Planning Proposal
- 1 KM to Town Centre
- 10 Mins walk to local shops, community and park
- 1 hour 15 mins to Sydney
- Beautiful nature and landscape
The site, bordering the southern edge of the Hill Top Village, is envisioned to be a world leading wellness community. It will have distinct character, with micro village clusters of sustainable cottages mixed with eco-tourism and wellness facilities, all set in expansive vegetated open space that can be enjoyed and cared for by the community. The open space will also incorporate a network of walking and cycle paths to connect with the nearby village centre. This diverse form of environmental living will be a sensitive response to the unique landscape character of the surrounding area and will complement and enhance the Hill Top Village.
"A world leading residential wellness community."
Cluster Communities
The idea of developing a cluster was created as an alternative to the conventional subdivision. The primary benefits of cluster housing are:
- The creation of open space for wildlife habitat, conservation, recreation, agriculture, and communal areas.
- Close neighbours mean that you are more likely to create meaningful connections with the people around you.
- The ability to boost the sharing economy and reduce costs through the creation of co-operatives. This includes the potential for growing fresh food and vegetables, the creation of an electricity micro-grid, shared rainwater and wastewater collection as well as greater composting and recycling.
- Consolidating homes increases affordability and reduces the initial investment in roads, paths and utility lines as well as the cost of maintaining and replacing public sector infrastructure.
Community Benefits
- The creation of a new model for sustainable living benefiting the residents’ health and well-being that can be replicated across Australia.
- Supports local Hill Top businesses.
- Boosting tourism through health and wellness centre whilst also providing access to facilities for the local community.
- Creation of new employment opportunities.
- Creation of biodiversity corridors.
- Enhancing the natural environment through open communal spaces.
- Diversity of housing to address the current and future housing needs of the Shire.
- Potentially boosts the house prices for Hill Top.
- Paddock to Plate offering through a market garden.
Development Vision
We cannot address the global crisis of rising chronic illness, social isolation, stress and environmental degradation without a dramatic transformation in how we live. Brightway puts people’s wellness at the centre of the entire process. We are seeking to change society through the principles of wellness and a fresh look at how communities are constructed and operated. Our communities are designed to optimise residents’ health and wellbeing across multiple dimensions.
Wellness Wheel
- Mind: Improving mental health by nourishing the mind through meditation/mindfulness etc.
- Body: Nourishing a healthy body through exercise, nutrition, sleep, etc.
- Purpose: Searching and acting on a higher meaning in human existence.
- Growth: Engaging the world through learning, problem-solving, creativity, etc
- Environmental: Fostering positive interrelationships between planetary health and human actions.
- Community: Connecting and engaging with others and our communities in meaningful ways
Primed For Significant Growth
The regional city of Tamworth, known as Australia’s Country Music Capital, has a unique identity. It’s home to strong manufacturing, health, education, retail, construction and agricultural industries.
The Northwest Region will experience significant population growth over the next 20 years with increases in the major industries. Tamworth will accommodate most of this along with Armidale.
There has been major investment in Tamworth’s Gateway Park and industrial precincts providing key linkages to major ports, agricultural processing with Baiada and Thomas Foods, and planned upgrades of the Aviation precinct. Through this investment the Tamworth economy and population is growing.
Westdale’s location provides a regional setting in close proximity to the Tamworth CBD, schools, industrial, agricultural and aviation employment precincts. Sydney and Brisbane are easily accessible with a 1 hour flight time.
As the residential vacancy rate is still sitting below 2% combined with the major projects and expected population growth, the need for future housing is essential.
Equihood
An equihood is a planned community that integrates equestrian infrastructure into a residential neighbourhood. The purpose is to share this infrastructure as well as provide ample green space for pasture, training, recreational riding and value for a community.
Equihoods are based around the concept of integrating stables, sheltering, arenas and trails into residential neighbourhoods, allowing for the development of communities that have a rural feel. Integrating equestrian infrastructure into neighbourhoods also allows for communities to connect and share these resources.
Vision: To create Australia’s leading equestrian-based community that promotes affinity, connection and social identity and encourages a new way of living across regional Australia.
The MasterPlan
- Distinctive equestrian-based neighbourhood.
- Diversity of Housing types with a range of lot sizes.
Independent Living & NDIS housing. - Shared equestrian facilities including stables, indoor and outdoor arena, round yard & wash bays.
- Café & function area overlooking the main arena.
- Shared paddocks & private paddocks on offer.
- Horse trail around the entire development.
- Community gathering places.
An inclusive and supportive community.
Community Benefits
- Further supports Tamworth’s status as Australia’s sporting horse capital.
- Improved housing choices for Tamworth residents.
- Significant mental health and community benefits for residents.
- Will attract new residents and grow Tamworth’s population.
- Creation of new employment opportunities.

- Delivers community amenity or the community with adjoining walking & horse trails, café etc.
“Community and purpose become effortless because it is the community norm and ingrained in daily life.”
