[DONNYBROOK, 27/09/2018] - Peppercorn Hill, an upcoming residential development in Donnybrook, Victoria, will feature green open areas and various recreational spaces. The open areas found within and outside the estate proper provide opportunities for residents to get active. This is in line with Peppercorn Hill's vision of promoting a healthy lifestyle within the community.

Beneficial Urban Green Spaces in Residential Developments

Studies have proven the holistic benefits of green spaces to the overall wellbeing. Green spaces provide opportunities for physical activity and social interactions that improve the quality of life of urban dwellers.

Urban green spaces also allow urban dwellers to reconnect with the natural environment. A study featured in the 2015 issue of the Risk Management and Healthcare Policy found that interacting with natural elements promotes positive restorative effects on mental health and wellbeing and may also serve as a refreshing buffer from stressful daily events.

Peppercorn Hill's Green Master Plan

With its goal of combining contemporary home design with the benefits of nature, Peppercorn Hill is purposefully surrounded by peppercorn trees and the Darebin Creek that flows throughout the estate. River red gums that have been growing for over 100 years stand in the south-eastern corner of the development and will serve as a backdrop to a planned park.

Peppercorn Hill has more than 50 hectares of land dedicated to future green areas such as sports fields, wetlands, recreational spaces, neighbourhood parks and a regional park. Additionally, there will be around 25 kilometres of interconnected exercise trails, bike lanes and walking paths.
