A welcome discovery

A new residential development has created a vibrant community that includes lush parks and natural beauty – all needing regular maintenance.

- 

The residents of new Sydney suburb Discovery Point are living the dream – enjoying resort-style accommodation surrounded by greenery and lush parks. And all close to a major capital city. However, it’s a dream that requires high-quality construction work and a thoughtful maintenance schedule to ensure it stays Instagram-worthy and lives up to residents’ expectations. This was the challenge for landscaping company Green by Nature, who looks after the facilities.

Maintenance

Green by Nature’s maintenance work won accolades at the 2024 Landscape Excellence Awards, including Gold and Best in Category in the Commercial Maintenance Retail/Business Parks section and Landscaper of the Year – Commercial Maintenance.

Home to more than 3500 residents, Discovery Point enjoys architecturally designed apartments with waterfront access to Cooks River, expansive parklands and playgrounds, a piazza-style village market, indoor/outdoor heated swimming pools, gymnasiums, and walking trails.

Maintenance involves ensuring public areas, gardens and hard surfaces are kept in pristine condition with minimal disruption to residents and visitors.

Turf works

Green by Nature maintains five main sites in terms of turf maintenance for Discovery Point. These site assets include the Village Green, waterfront park, retail areas, Foreshore Walk, and street verges. Maintenance includes clearing areas of litter, edging, mowing, irrigation management and nutrition. Blowing down of all hard surface areas is completed at the same time as mowing operations.
