Project Description
Officer, a rapidly growing suburb, has been experiencing significant residential development, creating a strong demand for quality public spaces. To support the community, a new park was developed to provide a safe, engaging, and visually appealing environment for residents of all ages.
The site, previously an empty farm field, presented several challenges, including unstable, water-retentive soil and the need for extensive drainage and irrigation solutions. Programmed was engaged to deliver a complete landscape solution that would transform the raw land into a functional, attractive, and sustainable community space.
Project Solution
Programmed Open Space implemented a carefully planned and methodical approach to the project. The Melbourne team undertook geotechnical assessments and excavated large volumes of soil to stabilize the ground. Concrete and rock bases were installed under pathways to ensure durability and safety.
The park’s jungle-themed playground incorporated a thoughtfully curated mix of native and tropical plants, integrating natural elements that enhance the aesthetics and encourage interaction with the environment. The irrigation system and lawn management were designed to maintain the park’s health and appearance, while ongoing maintenance ensures the space continues to provide a high-quality experience for visitors.
Project Outcome
The completed park has transformed the area of Officer, providing a vibrant, welcoming space for local residents. Families, children, and community members have praised the high standard of construction, the engaging playground design, and the attention to detail in landscaping.
The park has quickly become a focal point in the suburb, contributing to a sense of pride and community well-being. Programmed Property Services continues to maintain the park and surrounding areas, ensuring that the quality and safety of the space are sustained for years to come, reflecting the pride and commitment invested in the project.
