“One of the really great things about the McNab
property and one of the things that drew us
to it immediately is that this parcel of land
has everything a community living in the
twenty-first century in Melbourne needs.
This land will soon become a community of
around 500 homes. Laurie McNab and his
sister Val have lived here all their lives, and
their family owned the land for 100 years. As
we’ve shared our future plans, they’ve shared
their memories with us. This has given us an
extraordinary opportunity to take one family’s
generational ownership of this land and
translate that history into the development
of this community for the future. The McNab
story serves to deepen the sense of place that
future Lochaven residents will feel as they too
come to call this land home, and where they
too will create family histories to be treasured
and shared.”
