The Mater Dei site is occupied by the heritage listed building called Wivenhoe, two functioning schools and collection of associated buildings spaces and infrastructure and expansive restored woodland areas and open rural landscapes. The site is bound to the east by Macquarie Grove Road, to the north by Cobbitty Road, to the west by the Nepean River and adjoins privately owned rural lands to the south.

The Kirkham Rise site (incorporating the Wivenhoe Retirement Village) is a low-density residential development accessed off Macquarie Grove Road. It was formerly part of the Mater Dei property holding and is reflected in Figure 5.6.
