A key driver of project adopted in the overall landscape vision was to create a residential community that encapsulates the relaxed lifestyle of the region. The development embraces both the vegetated backdrop provided by the Razorback ranges and along the distinctive colourful landscape of the southern highlands.
We have worked across the Bingara Gorge masterplanned community for over 10 years, working closely with Lendlease Communities and Metro to deliver streetscapes, entry statements, and multiple open-space parks. The 18-hole golf course winds around the gorges and was designed with sustainability in mind. This was achieved through the reuse of grey and stormwater and the extensive use of native grasses and canopy trees along the fairways.
From the initial visioning and master plan stages to documentation and delivery, we focused on ways to capture the unique character and sense of place within each residential area. Each precinct has its own identity and contributes to Bingara’s overarching vision.
Creating landscape designs for various settings, including streetscapes, parks, village entryways, and golf courses within the Southern Highlands, has led to a residential community that reflects the region’s laid-back lifestyle and vibrant landscape. These designs are also responsive to market needs and promote sustainability.
