Landscape Plan Overview
The feedback from earlier engagement has been used to develop the draft Landscape Plan for the park and the preliminary concept design for the waterway health improvement feature. View the draft Landscape Plan.
The draft landscape plan includes a number of waterway health improvement features and other park improvements. Some of the key features include
- Replacing the concrete stormwater channel with gently sloping banks stabilised with native plants and rocks
- New vegetation and wetland designed to improve waterway health by natural filtering and cleansing processes
- Planting and increased wildlife will assist in creating a balanced ecosystem to manage the population of mosquitos
- A lookout point, boardwalk, pedestrian paths and seating to enjoy the natural setting
- Retaining the existing playground and open space areas for passive recreation
- Providing additional trees and plants to encourage wildlife and shade
- Grassed mound towards Silverwater Road to act as a sound buffer
- Improved paths and connections
- Retaining and improving dog park facilities – double gate, drinking fountain and dog bowl
- Improving park boundary appearance
- Reducing noise impacts from Silverwater Road
A small area of the existing dog park is planned to be used for one of the wetland filtration cells and ponds. However, we are planning to relocate the dog fence closer to Beaconsfield Road to offset some of this open space.
