I used come up here and play a lot of cricket in my early years. Gosford has huge potential, but the whole area is continuing to grow and people are now seeing how exciting it is. For the pri- vate equity business I am in I am happy to be a partner. There is a lot of investment going on, the Australian Tax Office, the new hospital and the Financial Services Building and a lot more, its nice to be a part of it.” He added, “On the Central Coast you can still create boutique luxury living that is within reach, paired with a stunning lifestyle—great restaurants and shops, the lakes, sailing, and of course the coast’s famous beaches.” “After all my years in cricket, I understand the value of a dynamic and experienced team, and that was one of the key reasons for me investing in this development. It is a partnership between everyone involved at Viciniti—the architect, styling, construc- tion, development, marketing, sales, and ultimately the homeowner.” “The broad price range means that Viciniti appeals to downsizers from the Central Coast, Sydney and Newcastle, inves- tors and first home buyers,” said Mr Hunter.
