Welcome to ParklandPedestrian Parkways and Public GreenspaceThe utilization of public spaces is a vital component of Parkland. More than 17% of the space in the subdivision will be for public use and will be developed for immediate use including public parkways and fully treed and landscaped greenspaces. Homeowners will be able to easily access Centennial Park from their backyards and connect to other amenities in the Altona area such as Millennium Centre, Gallery in the Park, Altona Aquatic Centre and the Altona Nature Pond. Professional Urban PlanningDesigned by the internationally renowned firm of Scatliff-Miller-Murray and Associates, Parkland is designed to promote socialization and safety. Through traffic on residential streets is minimized and non-linear roadways will offer additional safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Street width on collector and residential roadways has been designed to match traffic usage. A pedestrian transportation network (parkways) is an integral part of Parkland's design, with direct access from more than half of homeowner yards and public spaces. Environmentally-Sustainable DesignParkland will set a new standard for drainage in Altona with streets and yards that have been designed to specifically improve drainage slope. Surface runoff will be channeled to the greenway where a wetland restoration component will help to filter and slow the flow of water into the natural streams and rivers in the region.
