Mernda Villages Neighbourhood Centre, Mernda

30.11.2006
Located in Plenty Valley, the Mernda Villages Neighbourhood Centre will form a new community.The town planning of the Mernda Villages Precinct Activity Centre (PAC) involves the tying together of the different functions of the site.

These include a neighbourhood centre, schools, community facilities, housing and the Community Activity Centre. The design provides for a diversity of streetscapes with an urban quality, and the inclusion of environmental sustainable built forms and Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD).

The masterplan shows a commitment to the formation of a nature reserve and the integration of the surrounding landscape with the proposed built forms. This is achieved by the protection of hundreds of iconic Red River Gums located in parklands and reserves across the site.
