The site’s natural environment and rich history is featured. Cool, leafy spaces and places have come to life through parklands, rehabilitated remnant woodland, restoration of Thornton Hall, sustainable water features, public art, and community facilities.
As owner and developer, Landcom collaborated with Penrith City Council and partnered with Integrated Design Group, Annand Alcock, AJ+C, Evolve Housing, and a range of builders.
