At Emmadale Gardens, design deliberately works hand-in-hand with nature.

The result is a number of small, community-enhancing residential pockets — each with its own distinct identity.

Sustainability initiatives emphasise a water-sensitive urban design and minimise the impact of development on the existing soil structure and topography.

In this way, the planning process has allowed the design of some pockets to offer either city and ocean views or a relaxing parkland aspect.

Moreover, natural gullies have been retained wherever possible within the road system, while the potential for residents to use rainwater tanks in their homes will help minimise water bills.

The inclusion of walkways through the parkland areas shifts pedestrian movement away from cars, while road to the north and south improves the connection with the wider neighbourhood.
