Client: Stockland
Project Value: $3 million
Completion: April 2026
OSVgroup was engaged to deliver the complete landscape package for Stage 45 of Aurora, an established master planned community in Melbourne's north, where a quarter of the 630-hectare site is set aside as public open space.
The scope covered two distinct park spaces within the stage: a linear fitness and recreation park, and a nature play reserve built around a constructed dry creek bed. Both were delivered as full turnkey packages spanning civil, hardscape, softscape, structures and furniture, designed to give residents high-quality open space from the moment they move in.
Scope of Works
OSVgroup delivered all hard and soft landscaping across both park spaces, including:
- Construction of concrete pathways, plazas and shared path networks
- Basalt feature wall construction
- Custom concrete sculpture installation
- Shelter construction and installation
- Rubber softfall and rubberised surfacing to fitness and play zones
- Dry creek bed construction with feature rock and boulder placement
- Playground and outdoor fitness equipment installation
- Site furniture including bench seating and picnic settings
- Garden bed construction, mulching and advanced tree planting
- Instant turf establishment across all open lawn areas
- Full irrigation system installation
Key Features
- A dedicated outdoor fitness node set on rust-toned rubber softfall, with exercise equipment, agility markings and sculptural concrete forms punctuating the space
- A striking angular shelter with timber-lined ceiling and geometric perforated screening, providing shade and a strong visual anchor for the reserve
- A constructed dry creek bed winding through the nature play reserve, using feature boulders and river stone to create an informal, exploratory play landscape
- Basalt feature walls delivering durable retaining and edging with a distinctly local material character
- A timber-framed play structure within the nature play zone, integrated into the surrounding landform rather than sitting apart from it
- Sweeping concrete pathways connecting both park spaces into the wider estate path network
- Extensive advanced tree planting and native garden beds establishing canopy and structure early
Lasting Impact
Stage 45 delivers two complementary open spaces: one geared to active recreation, the other to unstructured, nature-based play. Together they give residents genuine variety within walking distance of their homes
