Winten Property Group appointed Monteath & Powys as a trusted advisor and delivery partner for their aspirational project at Cliftleigh Meadows. This master-planned residential development is a Torrens titled subdivision consisting of around 1000 residential lots including parklands, playgrounds and sports fields located just off the Hunter Expressway at Cliftleigh and situated in a strategic location that services both Maitland, Newcastle, and the Hunter Valley.
