Umbaco prepared a Master plan and site specific art concepts in association with Jane Cavanough, a public artist. A custom designed adventure playground with the emphasis on mining history has been built as well as a new timber boardwalk and extensive wetland fringe planting. The latest rain garden technology has been implemented in cooperation with engineers. A continued bush regeneration of the existing riparian corridor including an ecologically endangered community of Southern Sydney Sheltered Forest is a part of ongoing works on site. This place has become a heart of a new residential subdivision in Helensburgh.
