Tributary provides natural buffer and framework for pedestrian connectivity

The landscape design for Vantage’s 600 lot subdivision utilizes and strengthens the site’s natural features of undulating topography, existing mature bushland and waterways. The tributary dissects the site and creates a ‘natural’ buffer for residents whilst also providing ‘visual relief’ for built form. The need to cross the tributary also provides the opportunity to create an interesting pedestrian/cycle route, a timber boardwalk and viewing/outlook opportunities for residents.

Vantage’s main entry drive incorporates a woodland grove, transplanted Grass Trees from the site and stone blade walls to strengthen the entry and reinforce the site’s natural character. The main parkland forms the terminus to the entry drive, dominated by an open kick-about lawn area and overlooked by shade structures and the children’s playground. Pedestrian /cycle paths provide connections to the park and through the community to other amenities, such as the hillside of retained existing mature Grass Trees (some reaching over 3.0m high).
