Our Story

As a greater number of people choose to leave the city in favour of a more laid-back and sustainable lifestyle, Castlemaine is increasingly becoming the destination of choice.

With that influx of new home seekers comes the need for a community that can provide more than just houses and roads — a place that inspires residents to connect, experience and be part of a shared future.

Assisted by Rick Nelson, local Elder of the Dja Dja Wurrung, Gunangara acknowledges the traditional owners of the land, their cultural heritage, stories and languages — establishing an inclusive and welcoming community that honours its Indigenous roots, native flora and fauna, and pays homage to the Gunangara Gundidj clan who have lived here for generations. 

Following a decade of collaborative planning, Gunangara has dedicated a significant amount of its estate to green open space, bike tracks, native bush reserves and parklands — giving those looking for a new place to call home, space to breathe and room to move, alongside the necessities of fully-connected town services, NBN, established schools and a convenient location — only 5-minutes from Castlemaine’s CBD.

Offering a variety of larger-than-average lot sizes and a multitude of recreational options at your doorstep, Gunangara has all the advantages of an urban neighbourhood set within a pristine bush landscape.

We invite you to be part of our story. Create your new tomorrow at Gunangara.
