a residential subdivision 25 minutes drive North-West
of the Melbourne CBD, or approximately 40 kms via
the Tullarmarine Freeway (Melways Reference 382 D7).
PGA are the Consulting Engineers
and Superintendents for Jacksons Hill Estate, which
the Victorian Urban Development Authority (VicUrban)
plan to ultimately develop into approximately 1100
residential lots, on an estate of 170 hectares.
Residential lots vary in size, with
conventional lots ranging in size from 450 –
1100m2 with a typical size of 650m2. Non-conventional

Townhouse developments also exist where numerous builders
develop multi-unit townhouses.
The future stages 50-55 of Jacksons
Hill Estate will command fantastic views of the Melbourne
City Skyline. At present, approximately eighteen Stages
have been constructed with two stages currently under
construction, and with 4 more stages in the detailed
Engineering Design phase. Approximately 400 residential
lots are still to be developed.
