In Honour of Lady Mary Fairfax, Catherine Park Estate will host our second annual gardening competition. Sharpen your tools and pull up those boots it is time to show off your new garden and claim your share in over $1000 worth of prizes.

The competition will commence on Sunday 15th November 2020. All entrants must be registered by Monday 30th November. The Winners will be announced on Monday 7th December 2020.   

At Catherine Park Estate the health and safety of our community is our priority.

In light of the current COVID-19 situation our Sales and Information Centre will remain closed until further notice to protect our staff and residents.

A key feature of Catherine Park Estate is leafy tree-lined streets and a collection of carefully preserved green areas. While contributing to the natural beauty, there’s another reason why we plant trees in Catherine Park Estate and why we developed a carefully considered tree plan for this community and its residents.

Trees in residential and urban areas help to offset what’s known as the ‘heat sink effect’, also referred to as the ‘heat island effect’. These terms describe instances where localised warming occurs due to dark-coloured and paved surfaces, buildings and the emission of heat from human activities.

When you exchange gifts and messages this Valentine’s Day, you’ll be participating in an event that has its origins in Ancient Rome. And while a lot of us think it’s just an excuse to inflate the prices of red roses, restaurant meals and chocolate, there’s actually a lot more to Valentine’s Day.

As the second decade of the 21st Century enters its final year, we start looking towards the often made – and often ignored – New Year’s resolution.

Two of the most common New Year’s resolutions are to lose weight and save money. While physical and financial health are noble pursuits, they are also often the first to be forgotten. As such, we’ve decided to help you with some ideas for fun and more attainable New Year’s resolutions that you can accomplish right here in Catherine Park Estate. Try your hand at one of the below to get your 2020 off to a cracking start.
