Springview Residential Estate (Stg5) Thurgoona

A large constructed wetland reserve was transformed with the planting of approximately 22,000 tubestock plants, creating a thriving, biodiverse environment. Along the streetscape adjacent to the wetlands, bespoke timber totem posts celebrating organic patterns and themes were installed as a distinctive design feature. These replaced traditional street trees in response to environmental constraints associated with protecting the habitat of the threatened Sloane’s Froglet — proving that thoughtful design can both respect ecology and deliver strong visual character.

A Creekside linear reserve runs through the estate, where outdoor gym stations sit beneath shade sails, carefully nestled into a landscaped embankment. This clever design solution turned what was once an awkward sloping site into an inviting, functional fitness space with a peaceful outlook.

To complete the streetscape and reserve areas, we installed 110 advanced trees, along with extensive planting of shrubs and native grasses — ensuring the estate feels established, welcoming, and connected to its natural surroundings from day one.
