Located along the western bank of the Mullum Mullum Creek in Donvale, Mullum Creek Estate is a sustainable development where clever landscape design is being used to encourage residents to engage with the natural environment. Embedded in the vision for the estate is a respect for the existing environment and topography as well as environmental and ecological sensitivity and adaptability to a changing climate. This broad vision has been reflected throughout the project’s journey, from the design principles implemented by CDA landscape architects to the landscape construction by Australian Ecosystems.
Australian Ecosystems completed the landscape construction of stage 1 which included the supply and install of over 39,000 plants for gardens beds, a stormwater treatment wetland and a frog pond, as well as the installation of public furniture, fencing, paving, grassing and a two year maintenance schedule.
Stage 1 of Mullum Creek Estate won Best Natural Built Landscape at the Landscape Victoria Awards – Judge’s comments – “The project at Mullum Creek in Donvale is a fantastic exemplar of a natural built landscape. The hydrology and ecology of the site has been well-considered, with runoff from the development site treated by a constructed wetland before it enters the nearby Mullum creek. Indigenous plantings have extended the remnant vegetation into the landscape and wetland, from seed previously collected from the site. Furniture, fences and bollards were milled on-site from timber that was already on the property. Much thought has been put into making the Mullum Creek development a beautiful, sustainable landscape.”
AE also constructed Stage 2 of the estate which included another 35,000 plants in the landscape in addition to paving, furniture installation, grassing, animal proof fencing and another 2 year maintenance contract.
