Landscape Plan

For approval of our Plans with The Ponds Design Review Panel and Blacktown City Council we needed to provide a Landscape Plan. We decided to do this ourselves and save around $800. I happen to have AutoCAD at work and with my work as an engineer I also had some basic knowledge of how to use it. So after looking at a few examples and spending hours on the Internet researching trees and plants we had an idea of what we were going to do with our landscaping now just had to transfer all that to AutoCAD.

I was working on the landscape plan for just over a month, doing a little bit each night, and needed to have it finished by the 4/12 so that it could be included with the submission to The Ponds DRP. The last week was hectic with a few late nights trying to finish it all off in time. Our plant selection focused around native plants and I made sure all the DRP requirements were included and noted on the drawing. In the end the Landscape Plan was finished and we were quite happy with it, fingers crossed it passes The Ponds DRP. I will have to upload a picture of it in a later post.
