Landscaping takes shape at Hampton East

Posted on: 07/08/2026 - 3:18pm

More than 29,000 plants supplied by Knoxbrooke’s Yarra View Nursery are helping transform the outdoor spaces at the Bluff Road housing site redevelopment in Hampton East.

Yarra View Nursery is a social enterprise that creates meaningful employment opportunities. The nursery played an important role in preparing and coordinating plant orders for the development, with the plants now being installed across landscaped gardens, green open spaces and community areas throughout the site.

Andrew, who has been part of the team at Yarra View Nursery for more than 15 years, handpicked the plants for the project.

“I’ve been picking all the orders for Hampton East, getting them ready, putting them on the racks, and making sure they’re the right plants and looking good,” he said.

Andrew said the role has given him the opportunity to build friendships, stay active and spend time outdoors.

“Friendship, getting out in nature, keeping active and working – I love it.”

The landscaping and outdoor works are almost complete, helping create a greener and more vibrant space for future residents and the local community.

Project update

The buildings are now structurally complete, with work continuing inside the new homes. Landscaping and outdoor works are also progressing, helping bring the redevelopment to life ahead of completion from late 2026.

Together with our project partner Building Communities and their builder ICON, we are redeveloping the Bluff Road site to deliver 285 new social, affordable rental, market rental and Specialist Disability Accommodation homes for the Hampton East community.
