Arcadia designed the landscape for the private property group, City Freeholds, in collaboration with Bates Smart.
Wentworth Quarter is a new master planned residential community in Wentworth Point, one of the most densely populated suburbs in the country. The waterfront site, a former industrial land parcel, is the first step in a four-stage masterplan that extends from the foreshore back to Hill Road. Wentworth Quarter meets the suburb’s demand of a growing population with 200 high-quality, build-to-rent apartments and eight townhouses.
Due to its position on the Wentworth Point Peninsula, the site offered multiple opportunities to improve the local condition from an environmental and social point of view. The site provides a link for ecological communities, a filter for water and a conduit for pedestrian movement between the Millenium Parklands, Hill Road and Homebush Bay as well as along the waterfront.
It creates a generous and welcoming public domain with various open space typologies, including a public park and active waterfront to enable a rich precinct with multiple opportunities for gathering and occupying. By utilising and referencing endemic vegetation communities and species, the landscape has the potential to contribute to the estuarine health of Homebush Bay, and provides a habitat for bird and aquatic life.
