The Sustainable Landscape Company has designed and constructed all elements of the landscape on this award winning estate overlooking Bass Strait on Victoria’s Bass Coast. Our teams have designed, constructed and installed kilometers of granitic sand coastal paths, wetlands, waterways and habitat areas, a large nature-play and adventure playground, fitness stations, an off leash dog park, streetscapes, parklands, water treatment swales and much more. Our team wrote the species lists, collected a seed bank from the local coastal vegetation, propagated and planted over 100,000 locally indigenous plants for the streetscapes, wetlands and habitat restoration areas, and have set up systems to protect these establishing plants from grazing during their establishment period. We have been working our way through the various stages of the estate, including the formal streetscapes and parklands and environmentally sensitive interface areas with the coast.

TSLC have designed and constructed the first stage of a community farm that is very water efficient and low maintenance, and has produced tonnes of fresh vegetables and herbs for the local community. The off-leash dog park and shelter has become very popular, including water features, habitat areas, zones for different types of dogs and an all weather shelter. The creekline and waterways through the estate have been transformed from a narrow drain to a series of pondages and waterways rich in habitat for birdlife, and we have designed and constructed wetlands specifically for the international migratory species Japanese Snipe that have been taking up residence in the wetland each Summer. Over 90 species of birds have been counted at the Cape so far, as well as a wide variety of other fauna including kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, wombats and healthy populations of frog, insect and reptile species. This project is working to increase the biodiversity and support the native plants and animals of Cape Paterson.
