Information
Mernda Villages Estate is an 180-hectare masterplanned community. The site features 300 remnant River Red Gums that are incorporated and celebrated in open-space corridors and waterways throughout the estate. All 1800 homes have close access to a variety of open spaces that connect to the town centre.
The project contains a wide variety of landscape character types including a farm drive lined with oak trees, water sensitive raingardens to reticulate road runoff, a 1.5-hectare shallow marshland, a restored creek line, an adventure playground and a Red Gum conservation parkland. In addition, some 12 local parks were created on topographical high points around the site.
