INTRODUCTION
Community Vision
Harpley is a unique waterside community designed around a series of central lakes and waterways. Harpley’s urban landscape is
designed to maximise view lines to waterways with the central waterfront Town Centre providing a key focal point for the community.
With more than 100 hectares dedicated to open space, the planned delivery of three schools onsite and a community centre, Harpley
offers a variety of destinations and experiences to encourage natural connections within the community.
Lendlease’s vision for Harpley is a subtle balance between natural water settings, formal landscaped parklands and modern urban character.
Harpley offers a broad range of housing choices with designs reflecting a range of Australian styles.

Lendlease encourages diverse and innovative design at
Harpley. Any application that is not in accordance with the
Home Design Guidelines but exhibits positive community and
design outcomes may be granted approval.
Statutory Requirements
A registered Memorandum of Common Provisions (MCP) is
applicable to all detached housing lots 300m2 and greater
within Harpley. The existence of the MCP will exempt you
from requiring report and consent (dispensation) from
Wyndham City Council in regard to a design that differs from
the Building Regulations in respect to the items described in
the MCP.
However it is ultimately up to the Architect/Designer/
Engineer and the Registered Building Surveyor/Energy
Consultant to ensure that the home design complies with all
of the statutory requirements related to the construction of
the home.
