SUBURBAN
OVERVIEW
Castle
hill is situated in the heart of the Baulkham Hills
shire & has quick access to a vast area stretching
from Parramatta & Oatlands in the south to Wisemans
Ferry in the north. The shire consists of some of the
most picturesque areas in Sydney, with two thirds being
rural
land used for farming and other agricultural industries.
Residents enjoy a special mix of urban and rural lifestyles
creating interesting contrasts from superb restaurants
and modern shopping facilities to roadside stalls and peaceful
bushland areas.
The "Garden Shire" image
is maintained and projected today through agriculture,
rural vistas,
nurseries and
parks. Employment and business development is successfully
illustrated in Baulkham Hills Shire in benchmark initiatives
such as Norwest Business Park.
Baulkham Hills Shire Council is committed to preserving
the amenity of the Shire and the high quality of life that
residents enjoy.
The M2 Hills Motorway provides a rapid link to other parts
of Sydney, the CBD and the Domestic and International airports
are a convenient 45 minutes away.
Castle
Hill offers a variety of residential choices from large
country estates to modern apartments. Median prices
suggest there is a property available to suit most budgets.
The Shire has over 50 primary schools and close to 30
secondary schools in both the public and private sectors.
Further education options are available at Baulkham Hills
TAFE and the Hills District Day and Evening College. A
number of campuses representing leading New South Wales
universities are located close to the Shire.
Many successful national and international companies have
chosen Baulkham Hills Shire as their place of business
including Woolworths and IBM. Major shopping precincts
are located in Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills, Winston Hills
and Dural. The Shire also retains a strong presence in
the nursery, cut flower and seed producing industries,
an important legacy of the Shire's rural past.
The choices for leisure in the area are wide, from horse
riding to live theatre, an international standard golf
course to large cinema complexes, restaurants, to tenpin
bowling.
