About This City
Sanctuary Lakes Resort is located in the Point Cook area of Melbourne, approximately 20km from the CBD. The development is located on the former site of the Cheetham Salt Works where a large scale industrial production of salt supplied Melbourne and Victoria for nearly 100 years. This facility was closed in the late 1980.s by the Cheetham Company leaving the site significantly altered from its natural state and making redevelopment options limited. As a result, the development of Sanctuary Lakes had to address a number of environmental and engineering challenges.
The water management regimes of the salt works caused them to become an important habitat for a wide variety of birds, including rare migratory birds. As part of the development agreement for Sanctuary Lakes Resort, 405ha of wetlands was gifted to the State Government as a nature sanctuary called Cheetham Wetlands which is managed by Parks Victoria. This has ensured its long term protection.
The remaining 445ha is being developed as an integrated community resort comprising the following:
- 2,700 residential allotments ranging in size from 300m2 to 2,000m2 with island blocks up to 3,000m2 in area
- An 18 hole Greg Norman designed championship golf course
- Golf Clubhouse including Bistro, bar and function centre
- Golf driving range and training academy
- Lake for recreation and small boating
- Recreational Club with cafe swimming pool and gymnasium
- Walking and cycling tracks
- Tennis Club
- Child Care Centre
