The Vision
More than a Subdivision – A New Standard for Living
Once complete, Rua Hills will include four villages, the first being Raphoe, each shaped by the character of the surrounding landscape and linked through a network of green pathways and modern transport routes. Together, these villages will be home to over 12,000 people.
The development would privilege living in unison with the natural environment while embracing the conveniences of contemporary urban life. Pathways for walking and cycling will interweave with streets and streams, enabling a true 'fifteen-minute community' with daily essentials within easy reach. These walkable connections will ensure access to neighbourhood centres, parks, schools, and open spaces, while a multi-modal transport network would connect Rua Hills to NorthWest and beyond.
Landscape & Sustainability.
A landscape that Breathes.
A large portion of Rua Hills will be dedicated to landscaping, with the re-vegetation of slopes and gullies, enhancement of wetland systems, and generous street tree planting. These efforts will not only elevate the natural beauty of the community but also deliver meaningful carbon sequestration and support a rich, thriving biodiversity.
Extensive native plantings and interconnected green corridors will create vital habitats and invite residents into daily connection with nature. Walkable neighbourhoods, cycleways, and future-ready public transport links will reduce reliance on private vehicles, promoting healthier, more active lifestyles and a lighter environmental footprint.
Rua Hills is being thoughtfully shaped as a resilient community, where water- sensitive design, careful stormwater management, and energy-efficient homes come together to support a truly sustainable way of living. It will be a place where people enjoy deep physical, mental, and social wellbeing, grounded in a landscape that honours both its legacy and its future.
