Connected community 

The Place Plan and Development Concept 2021 will guide development to deliver a residential experience connected to nature and the best of the inner north. The future direction of the site was shaped in collaboration with the local community. This resulted in a Place Plan defined by connection, nature, diversity and sustainability. Where people can live, socialise, exercise, relax and play. 

The aim of the Place Plan is to maximise urban heat resilience and maintain tree and landscape corridors – to protect vulnerable native species such as the Superb Parrot.
