The development is being built on what was formally agricultural land and is surrounded by a series of nature reserves.

Statement of significance

This item is part of a collection of ephemera collected on 6 April 2016 by the museum to represent the urban development that was occuring in the City of Armadale. Since the year 2000 the City has undergone a major transforation as land once dedicated to agriculture and farming practices has become large urban housing developments. This collection is a snap shot of the cost and types of blocks available and the styles of houses being built in these new housing developments in the 2010s.
