Mature Native Gums “YELLOWGUMS”

We are building the estate around over 300 retained native Yellow Gum tree which inspired our estates name. Existing features such as Landry Lane will remain untouched with gravel with mature gums either side, as a future walking track.

Parks, Open Space and bushland

Have you ever lived close to parks that combine natural bushland with manicured open space?  We envision the natural bushland that we are putting aside as conservation reserves to be used by community groups to explore the natural bushland and experience native wild life. The manicured open space has a playground, skate park and footy oval and undercover area. Combining to best of being outdoors.

Considered walkability

3km of vehicle free bike/walking paths. The estate has been designed for walking in and around the parklands near all homes with the family in mind. Baby’s in the pram, toddlers and kids on scooters/bikes, dogs on lead and meeting people from within the community who are sharing this space of their life with you creates such a strong sense of connection to the community.

Nestled in nature

The key to the incredible walkability is to create a journey with points of interest, which is what we have done with the linear open space you will see throughout the estate. We have designed paths away from roads, and we have incorporated a loop around the estate which provides just under 3km of vehicle free bike/walking paths. Where possible, we have retained mature trees along these paths.

Curved Streets & Roads

To promote quieter, safer and visually appealing streets. If you have ever driven around an estate with curved roads you will understand the aesthetic benefit it provides in years to come when all the vegetation and landscaping is complete. As you drive through the estate you mainly see vegetation in front of you, rather than road, cars and fences.

Lot Orientation

We have designed the estate to maximize the number of lots facing east-west. This is to increase the solar gain each house achieves during the day, which significantly reduces the heating and lighting requirements of homes.

Local Amenity and so close to Bendigo

Just a short drive away, you'll discover the rich tapestry of amenities that Bendigo has to offer. From cultural attractions and shopping precincts to world-class healthcare and educational facilities, everything you need is conveniently within reach. Embrace the best of both worlds – the tranquility of Marong and the vibrant offerings of Bendigo – creating a perfect setting for a lifestyle that seamlessly blends convenience and serenity. Welcome home to a world where your every need is met, just moments away in beautiful Marong, Victoria.

Sustainability

Our industry creates environments for humans to inhabit, and in doing that we change the existing environment as we know it. We can’t do what we need to do without impacting the environment, and so it is our obligation to always consider how we can minimise this impact.

Yellowgum Marong will be designed around the retention of over 1,900 linear metres of existing rural road reserve and 347 mature yellowgum trees that lie within those reserves and collocated remnant vegetation. These areas will be retained and repurposed for the benefit of future generations. In total, 24% of this community will be dedicated to natural open space and waterways because nature has always intended that we live with connection to country and natural environment.

Retention of significant vegetation and carefully designed lot orientation work together to make the Yellowgum Marong community warmer in winter and cooler in summer and very liveable. Linear parks and curved residential roads are designed to slow down traffic and improve visual aesthetic and make for a safer community.

Walkability is more than a design feature, it's a way of life in Yellowgum Marong. We will deliver just under three kilometres of vehicle-free walkways and bike paths, elements proven to encourage families to get outdoors and be active, which fosters a sense of community. Yellowgum Marong is located immediately north of Bendigo Council’s future 294-hectare employment hub, the Bendigo Regional Employment Precinct (BREP) providing local employment and business opportunities within walking distance.

Our focus is on the outcomes that we can deliver today for the benefit of tomorrow’s generation.
