Broken Run in Halswell or Wigram – Named because, before development, the land was a grazing farm with a natural valley and waterway splitting the farm into two halves, thus being a broken farm or run. The first spine road into the Broken Run subdivision. Named by the developers, Brian Gillman Ltd. Named in 2005.
A small amount of information from the library website and another street where the library says that it is in Halswell and the valuation website and google maps say that it is in Wigram.
Most houses here were built in 2000 and it is a pleasant tree lined street. There is a playground and tennis court on a piece of ground called Broken Run Reserve. This is near the entrance to Highpeak Place. Broken Run from Highpeak Place to Wigram Road has a creek running alongside of it. There is also an entrance to a walkway. The houses are on fairly big sections here which is nice to see as I live in a suburb where they are demolishing older houses and cramming several units on the sections. There was a variety of house styles but one stood out for me and I didn’t really like it. It looked like a commercial building rather than a house and I have seen country fire stations that look just like this building.
