New Sage park officially opens

A new 8000sqm community park has officially opened in one of Moreton Bay’s fast-growing suburbs.

More than 170 future residents and neighbours came together for at Sage Burpengary, the Cedar Wood Properties’ development on Hunt Rd.

The opening had a bubble performer, mini basketball games and music, games and giveaways by Nova SuperNovas, free coffees, pup cups for pets and cinnamon donuts.

Sage Park has a treehouse-inspired playground, cricket net, half basketball/netball court and large green spaces.

Development Director Blair Britton said Sage Park and the surrounding area is part of a $1.5m investment in greenspace with 60 per cent open space and more than 7.5ha ecological corridor.

He said the “environmental commitment includes landscaping, revegetation and wildlife nesting initiatives to protect and enhance the local environment”.

“The park’s design integrates elements from nature, including repurposed timber, which are featured throughout the play area as stepping logs and balance beams,” Mr Britton said.

It includes planting 860 koala feed trees and more than 5600 native shrubs and grasses, creating wildlife corridors and supporting natural regeneration.

“We are proud to have retained mature trees and hollowed out habitat trees, which play an important role supporting biodiversity as homes for native animals, including gliders, owls, possums, bats, bords and cockatoos,” he said.

Emilie Mahony and her partner will be new residents at Sage.

“We’re excited about the quietness, the new park, which will be great to have nearby as we grow our family and just enjoying being at home in a place that suits our lifestyle,” she said.

When finished Sage will have 387 residential lots. For more visit the sales centre at 64 Hunt Rd, Burpengary, or www.cedarwoods.com.au/sage
