One of the more fascinating and innovative rural development / subdivision projects that we have been involved with. Great to see them ‘on-stream’ and best wishes for the future!

Meet the makers. We’re not influencers. We’re just a bunch of innovative and curious Kiwis who think we’ve created something pretty special.

🌳 Healthy Tree Canopies: The Unsung Heroes of Urban Life 🌳

Healthy tree canopies are incredibly underrated, yet they bring so much value to our urban neighborhoods 🌆. They provide shade, improve air quality, reduce urban heat, and create more beautiful, livable streets 🌿🍂.
Let's prioritize planting and preserving more trees in our cities to foster healthier, greener, and more welcoming spaces for everyone 🌍💚.

SCLA are proud to have worked with FNHL / Northern Housing Ltd on their development at Ranfurly Street in Dargaville. NHL have partnered with local community housing providers and MHUD in this project to complete construction within close to 12 months.

SCLA assisted with conceptual landscape design, the gaining of resource consents and detailed design. We think the (close to) final result is looking good! The landscape contractor was Natural Habitats.
