Swinger Hill plan defends medium density housing design
Objections to Swinger Hill medium density housing are deemed irrelevant by planners. Architect and former NCIC official Peter Funda argues design minimizes noise and loss of privacy through acoustic mounds, courtyard layouts, double brick walls, and strategic siting. He says privacy and limited external restraints protect residents while preserving individual choice inside. The final success depends on occupancy and resident behavior.

At Swinger Hill a 39‑home phase forms a unified, integrated environment designed by McKay and Partners. Using repeated materials brick veneer, timber, and charcoal concrete, the development emphasizes cohesion with minimal features. Interiors link indoors and outdoors through brick courts, timber beams, and white Gyprock walls, each house offering multiple bathrooms and efficient services.
