Liz and Rob Adams bought land at one of Stockland’s first mixed-use master-planned communities because of the sewer connection and have been there ever since.
In 1968, Liz and Rob Adams bought a block of land on one of Stockland’s first mixed-use master-planned communities, the Sylvan Headland estate, in what became Kareela in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire.Liz and Rob Adams in their Stockland-built house in Kareela.managing director Tarun Gupta, who visited the Adams with me last week, said the couple underlined his company’s vision.
The Adams paid $7400, plus stamp duty of $92.50, for what was then a small 560-square-metre corner block. Once they paid it off, they could borrow to build a Pettit+Sevitt home for around $13,000, an agreement set out in a one-page contract .which, through the 1960s and into the 1970s, brought “simple, functional and affordable” modern homes, designed by architects such as Ken Woolley, to a generation of Baby Boomers.
In her history of the suburb, Liz Adams writes that Kareela was a product of the social, economic and political forces of the 1960s and early 1970s.
