A truly sustainable community
The Merrifield urban footprint provides an opportunity to establish a high quality and sustainable community supporting up to 30,000 people or 15,000 dwellings set amongst an integrated and well designed urban community.
The development of Merrifield will generate a significant population increase for the region and represents one of the largest mixed-use development opportunities within Melbourne.
Integral to the success of such a large scale residential community is its proximity and connection to a planned large scale employment precinct. The delivery of a sustainable transport network with early provision of walking, cycling and public transport links between home and work will create a walkable neighbourhood with high connectivity. This results in a reduced reliance on vehicle trips and promotes healthy living.
Walkable neighbourhoods, each with a central community focus and a diverse range in building densities are the building blocks for the development of Merrifield. Critical to the liveability of Merrifield will be the creation of quality passive and active open spaces and water bodies that will benefit both the employees and the residents of the area.
