History

Wrightway Homes developed the suburb after Norman Wright bought the Newlands dairy farm from JS Meadowcroft. The family chose trees and wood as a theme, and most streets bear the names of trees. By 2011 about half the planned houses or 200 homes had been built. A land exchange with the WCC allowed for development of a walkway to Seton Nossiter Park.
