Embracing green space for a healthy community

From the moment you arrive at Lilywood Landings, it will be obvious that green spaces are central to our community. Whether it’s the lush parks, riverside retreat, or tree-lined streets, our community is focused on sustainable practices and fosters a strong connection to nature. As the first residential development in Waraba, we are clearly on the front foot when it comes to the creation of what could arguably be called Australia’s greenest new city. Lilywood Landings will feature a 3.25-hectare central green spine, as well as almost 20 hectares of parkland along our 1.74-kilometre Caboolture River frontage. In green space terms, that’s more than 20 times the playing area of Suncorp Stadium. If we extend the map a bit more, our residents get to enjoy a total of 70-hectares of green open space, and for the entire city of Waraba, a staggering 970 hectares will be set aside for public green space – that’s 870 times the size of Suncorp Stadium’s playing field. Of course, everyone knows that exploring the great outdoors is a lot of fun, but did you also know that it comes with health benefits? Green spaces play an important role in improving air quality, reducing stress, and strengthening the immune system – making them the perfect backdrop for Lilywood residents. Let’s take a closer look at the pros of green space!

Stress reduction

Parks and green spaces are a great source of relaxation, which reduces the stress hormone cortisol.

Improved mood

Spending time in nature reduces anxiety and depression and improves mental well-being.

Stronger immune system

Exposure to phytoncides released by plants, strengthens immunity by aiding white blood cells in fighting illness.

Enhanced cognitive function

Nature can boost attention span, memory, and creativity and even lead to reduced symptoms of conditions such as ADHD. This could be due to its calming effects and a reduction in sensory overload, compared to urban spaces.

Boosts creativity

Natural surroundings stimulate creativity and problem-solving abilities.
Supports childhood development
Children who play in green spaces develop better motor skills and social behaviors.

Improved air quality

Trees and plants absorb pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and ammonia (NH₃) through their leaves, stems, and roots. They also sequester carbon, reducing greenhouse gases and contributing to cleaner air.

Reduced urban heat

Greenery in urban areas mitigates the urban heat island effect by cooling surrounding areas.

Water management

Vegetated areas help absorb rainwater, reducing flood risks and replenishing groundwater.

Increased social interaction

Parks and green spaces encourage groups of people to gather, leading to social connections and community engagement.
