Overview
From the outset, Jacksons Hill was designed to create an enjoyable lifestyle whilst keeping the environment in mind.
There are now more than 3,000 people living in Jacksons Hill, on tree-lined streets among large areas of parkland, with nearby schools and shops, and improved access to Melbourne via the electrified Sunbury railway line.
The unique hilltop location of Jacksons Hill provides exceptional views of the Melbourne city skyline to the Macedon Ranges and overlooks Sunbury's vineyards.

The rehabilitation of Wanginu Park received the Australian Institute of Landscape Architecture Land Management Award in 2013.
