It is aimed at being a waterwise, eco-friendly development that promotes the use of local endemic plants as an alternative to grass, waterwise drip irrigation systems across the board and energy and water efficient building designs.

Sustainable Outdoors has been contracted to undertake all of the verge landscaping throughout the subdivision with the use of densely planted native ground covers, installation of drip irrigation systems and mulching. Our influence in the project has seen a wider selection of native plants to be used and the installation of high quality irrigation systems.

Once complete the verges will become a self-sustainable landscape once established, not needing as much water as grass, not needing regular mowing/maintenance or the use of fertiliser.

We look forward to our continued involvement with projects like this one that have greater outcomes.
