Residents can expect a real sense of ‘arrival’ home when the St. Georges Boulevard entry treatment (from Donnybrook Road) is complete later this year. Works on this multi-million dollar landscaping package are scheduled to commence this month and will provide a striking landscape sculptural statement, created by renowned public artist, Alexander Knox.
In addition to the entry statement and boulevard landscaping which will enhance the tall row of existing sugar gum trees, Merrifield’s first neighbourhood park (located on St. Georges Boulevard) is also expected to be complete by December this year, meaning Merrifield Living’s first residents will not have to wait for access to a meticulously designed parkland.
In a first of its kind for Australia, the park will include a signature piece of climbing play equipment and a multi-game sports arena – guaranteed to keep the young and the young at heart engaged. Combined with a communal BBQ, seating and shelters, gatherings in the great outdoors will become part of the relaxed Merrifield lifestyle.
The park will also enjoy beautifully landscaped green spaces that will eventually form part of an expansive open space network comprising more than 130 hectares across the development.
Merrifields first residents are not far away as civil construction works for the initial stages at Merriefield Living near completion.
Project Director Matthew Planner said with works for the first three stages almost finished, it is an exciting time for the purchasers as the look and feel of St. Georges Boulevard and internal streets within the estate start to become clearly visible. “The site has been a hive of activity,” said Mr. Planner. “With the Donnybrook Road intersection works now underway and titles to the first two stages expected in later this month, it’s a significant milestone for Merrifield and bringing the vision to life,” he said.
With the release of land now immenent, construction of the very first residential homes in Merrifield Living are expected to commence as early as September.
Sales at Merrifield Living remain particularly strong, with almost 200 lots sold across the project since its launch 12 months ago. The residential community is set to take real shape during the course of 2015 as new residents start building their futures at Merrifield.
