Recently Dacland
hosted ‘meet your
neighbours’ events at
Manzeene Village in
Lara and Lochaven in
Cranbourne West so
future residents could
meet each other and
get to know the
local area.
“It’s an exciting time when you
move into a freshly built home
in a brand-new community. We
hope these events will help get
people talking to each other and
checking out the fantastic area they
will be moving into,” said Dacland
customer care officer, Crystal Perry.
Dacland has designed both
Manzeene and Lochaven with
the aim of connecting people by
promoting pedestrian and cycle
friendly roads and providing plenty
of open space for people to gather
within walking distance of
each home.
At Manzeene Village botanic
parklands run throughout the
community offering easy access
to open space where people can
walk, run and play. Similarly, at
Lochaven, community amenities
offer residents plenty of space
to gather and meet, allowing for
a comfortable and convenient
lifestyle within the reach of
every home.
“We used the science of
design to encourage community
interaction. By providing residents
with access to open space and safer
streets, we are encouraging them
to get out and connect with their
neighbours,” said Dacland Urban
Designer, Jacqueline Yuen.
Dacland staff enjoyed sharing
these events with purchasers
hearing their plans for their
soon to be build homes. At these
events, we teamed up with the
Lara community centre, the Lara
heritage museum, neighbourhood
watch, the Cranbourne football
club and NBN to provide valuable
information to purchasers about
the community that they will soon
be moving into.
“We look forward to meeting
our purchasers and hearing more
of their plans for their new homes
and communities over the year to
come,” said Crystal.
Everyone needs
good neighbours
“Dacland communities are carefully
designed for the future community.
Roads that favour pedestrians and
bicycles; local amenities within
walking distance from homes;
and parks near every home are
just some of our design features.
It’s all about creating a better
place to live.”
Travis Deans,
Dacland Chief Executive Officer
How will Dacland communities
benefit future residents living
in the west?
