Understanding Natural Systems:
Natural drainage lines have been considered in the
design of water sensitive overland flow measures. Rock
lined drainage swales will be planted out with a mix of
trees, native reeds, small shrubs and ground covers to
stabilise banks and mitigate erosion.


Farm Animals, Food Cropping & Flower Gardens:
A farm animal yard has been incorporated into the
design. Also vegetable and herb garden, flower gardens
and food orchards to provide interest and active
opportunities for both residents and visitors.
