What We Delivered
- Playground construction: Preparation, surfacing, and landscaping to create a safe, engaging and family-friendly community place space.
- Landscaping and green space: Planting and open space preparation to integrate the facilities into the wider subdivision environment.
- Skatepark development: Site works, drainage, and structural preparation supporting the installation of custom skate elements.
- Community focus: Careful consideration with designers and local stakeholders to ensure facilities met the expectations of a fast-growing neighbourhood.
Why It Matters
These projects were more than just about creating recreational spaces – they were about building a community. With Central Otago experiencing rapid growth, Hanley’s Farm is a key development where families are putting down roots.
By delivering the playground and skatepark, WCL played a role in shaping a safe, connected, and vibrant community hub. The facilities are already being well used, reflecting the pride our teams take in creating places where people can gather, play and thrive.
For WCL, it was another opportunity to combine technical know-how with our purpose of creating a legacy for our people and communities.
