Creek revegetation works at The Roads

Civil construction at The Roads in Mount Clear is progressing well with all internal works recently completed by experienced civil contractor Winslow Construction Group.

Auditing for practical completion by relevant authorities will take place soon, moving closer towards a settlement timeframe in Spring. As the date for settlement approaches, the project team will be in regular contact with current purchasers of homesites at The Roads with timing updates.

With mature trees bordering the site and the Canadian Creek meandering through it, the picturesque landscape of The Roads site is one of its most appealing attributes.

Excitingly, landscaping and rehabilitation of the Canadian Creek and the large reserve area comprising over 10 acres of open space within the project site has commenced. Images below show the important works now well underway including extensive weed control (removal of Blackberry, Gorse, Hawthorn and Thistle) and earthworks providing long-term embankment stabilisation.

Existing indigenous planting along the waterway has been retained and managed to encourage natural regeneration, including retention of all dead timber for habitat. Extensive further planting of indigenous species will be undertaken in Spring.

Designed by local landscape architects Thomson Hay the reserve area features a gravel walking path, picnic shelter and seating. A unique creek crossing has been created with large sandstone stepping stones placed at each end of the creek to provide an option for pedestrians to transition from the gravel path across the creek.

Street trees and entry landscaping at the Roads will also be underway soon. Watch this space!

A naturally rich location, The Roads is set close to the Woowookarung Regional Park – a large haven of bushland with walking and cycling trails. Future residents at The Roads will enjoy the lifestyle afforded by a close connection with natural bushland and the open parkland spaces within the Mount Clear area.

The Roads is located within easy walking distance to childcare, primary and secondary schools as well as convenient access to local shopping and amenities in Mount Clear (images below of the surrounding area).

With lots tilting this Spring, now is an ideal time to secure one of the remaining homesites at The Roads to start building your new home in Mount Clear this year. Contact Rebecca Stepnell from Jellis Craig, Ballarat to learn more.
