1-7 Nam Shing Lane, Beechworth VIC 3747

Nam Shing Lane is a small development committed to thoughtful design. Offering an alternative to standard subdivisions, through environmentally sustainable
Principles.

Nam Shing Lane off Jardine Street is a centrally located infill parcel adjacent to the rail trail and Chinese Gardens. It is virtually surrounded by open space. This precinct is unique in the town including old and new housing in sensitively reconstructed streets east of Silver Creek and between Lake Sambell Parklands. It is an easy walk into town.
This proposed new enclave of 7 lots of varying size within a private laneway is envisaged to blend with the original, inner heritage townscape of Beechworth and offer an alternative to standard suburban development. To achieve this development vision there will be development controls and design guidelines over building setbacks, building form, fencing and landscape over and above those of the Shire and Rescode.

Renowned Landscape Architect Andrew Laidlaw (Head Landscape Architect at the Melbourne Botanical Gardens, & ABC Radio) has been engaged to landscape design the enclave.

Nam Shing Lane is committed to a minimal environmental footprint as evidenced through the following features:
Landscape design by Andrew Laidlaw (Melbourne Botanical Gardens & ABC) to integrate environmentally sensitive design with the historical elements of the site and the neighbourhood character.
Water sensitive urban design (WSUD) principles in road design and stormwater capture. The establishment of a natural drainage system (wetlands) integrated with surrounding waterways.

Minimal use of hard surfaces in laneway construction to maximise water retention for gardens and the natural landscape. Also reduces reliance on energy intensive concrete products.
Commitment to sourcing local and salvaged materials where possible. For example the fences are made from salvaged materials.
