Located in Clyde North, the Meridian Community features a vibrant and diverse open space network, including parks, wetlands, green links, entry reserves, and shared paths.
Since our initial involvement in 2015 with the original Meridian stage, our role has expanded to encompass the design and delivery of Summit Business Park, Meridian Central, Meridian Village and Meridian Green – each contributing to a cohesive yet distinct landscape identity. Our strategic approach ensures every park is thoughtfully tailored to its location, offering unique experiences for the residents.
From a nature play park nestled within wetlands—complete with hand-carved timber animals that inspire imaginative exploration—to the expansive 3-hectare Tree Tops Park featuring a basketball court, off-leash dog area, pump track, and towering play structures over 8 metres high, the estate’s eight open space reserves offer something for everyone
At the heart of the community lies Meridian Central, a central piazza framed by retail and commercial spaces. Designed to foster connection, the landscape includes an amphitheatre and stage for performances, flexible spaces for weekend markets, and inviting areas for everyday social interaction
Sustainability is embedded in our design philosophy. An integrated water management overlay incorporates raingardens along the main boulevard, enhancing the streetscape while managing stormwater. Passive drainage systems channel water through swales in the reserves, reducing infrastructure load. Two large wetlands treat runoff from the development, supporting ecological health and water quality.
