Information
Highlands DP18 rests on the slopes of Mt Ridley, providing the opportunity for benching and terracing to create a range of interesting landscape spaces with a variety of functions.
The reserves of DP18 are a series of linear open spaces that meet at a large reserve. Stone walls reduce the cross grades along these reserves and allow residences above and below to properly address the parkland. Garden beds provide year-round floral and foliage colour creating a seasonally diverse landscape.
The multi-purpose open space features a terraced playground and picnic area with custom shelters, again using the slopes of the landscape to create visual interest and functional separation between activities.
