GP Bluestone delivered the Leslie Street Pocket Park and Road Project for Brimbank City Council, transforming a St Albans street corner into a greener, safer and more welcoming public space.

GP Bluestone was engaged by Brimbank City Council to transform an underutilised street corner in St Albans into the vibrant Leslie Street Pocket Park. The project involved extensive civil and landscaping works to improve local amenity and urban greening.

Key works included site regrading, new kerb and channel, reinforced concrete pavements, and a 200mm thick concrete road pavement. Drainage upgrades featured new stormwater pits, house drain connections, agricultural drains, and a raingarden built to WSUD standards.

Hardscape improvements included cobblestone paving, coloured concrete traffic islands, retaining walls, planter beds, and raised edges. New street furniture such as benches, bike racks, bollards, and custom seating enhanced usability. Lighting upgrades with new switchboards, pits, streetlights, and underground cabling improved safety.

Soft landscaping included garden beds, tree surrounds with porous resin paving, recycled timber mulch, edging, and tree planting, creating a balanced, accessible space for passive recreation.

The Leslie Street Pocket Park showcases GP Bluestone’s expertise in delivering complex inner-urban landscape upgrades in close collaboration with council, resulting in a functional and welcoming community space.
