The landscape design of Lefroy has been carefully considered to create greener, more connected places for the community while celebrating the site's existing natural assets. Across the precinct, public open spaces and improved pedestrian connections will help shape a neighbourhood where people can live, play and connect.

Existing trees to shape Marisol’s new public spaces

Tree retention has been an important consideration in the design of Marisol at Lefroy, with a large proportion of the former TAFE site’s existing trees retained within the development’s public open spaces.

The location and condition of existing trees helped inform the design of the site’s three parks, allowing established trees to become part of the landscape and contribute to greener, more inviting spaces from the outset. Tree protection zones and structural root zones were also considered to help protect retained trees during construction and landscaping works.

We have appointed Phase 3 to deliver the three public open spaces:

• Pine Park*, the largest of the three spaces, will be designed around a group of retained mature trees and feature a treetop walk and play equipment for a range of ages.
• Fig Park* will create a green pedestrian connection between two rows of homes, with seating and barbecue facilities providing a place for the community to gather.
• Corner Park* will form a green entrance to the development, with retained trees helping to shape its character and provide an established landscape setting.

*Park names are working titles and are subject to change.

Together, the parks will incorporate existing trees into the new neighbourhood and create connected public spaces for future residents and the surrounding community.

Big Changes for Kinway at Lefroy
Community feedback gathered in late 2024 highlighted the importance of creating a place where people can spend time together, connect with neighbours and enjoy quality public open space. These insights have helped shape the park's design and future amenities.

Once complete, the upgraded park will increase in size, feature a relocated 30-year-old mature tree, and provide enhanced recreational opportunities for the broader community.
