Jinding Developments has broken ground on Octave at Junction Village – a premium boutique community nestled beside the Royal Botanic Gardens in the heart of Cranbourne, located approximately 50 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD

StreetWorks has been appointed to undertake the civil works on Stages 1 and 2, which will see the first 103 blocks of the 318-lot community delivered by mid-2021.

With the incredible landscape of The Royal Botanic Gardens adjoining the community, the protection of the natural flora and fauna is a key objective of the project. Over 20 per cent of the masterplan is dedicated to parks, reserves and conservation area, creating a green community that is blended with its native environs and the Botanical Gardens.

Harmony Park will feature at the centre of Octave, including a conservation corridor of protected indigenous trees and native plants that encourage the movement of native animals of the area.

“Octave at Junction Village is a great example of built and natural environment coming together,” said Liz Ronson, Managing Director of Jinding Developments.

“We think that where possible this should be a key objective when planning any new community.”

City of Casey Chair of Administrators Noelene Duff PSM said the City of Casey  is committed to environmental sustainability and conservation.

“Jinding Developments have submitted excellent ecological and heritage considerations into this development which will be to the long-term benefit of the community and the local ecosystem alike.”
