Deer Park LCRP Landscaping Project
From hardscaping to native planting, see how ecoDynamics brought new life to Deer Park’s transport corridor—making it greener, safer, and more inviting.
About Deer Park Level Crossing Removal Project (LCRP) landscaping project
The Mt Derrimut Road, Deer Park LCRP was a key Victorian Government infrastructure initiative designed to boost safety, ease traffic congestion, and improve public transport accessibility in Melbourne’s growing western corridor.
Western Program Alliance delivered the project which elevated the rail line over Mt Derrimut Road and removed one of Melbourne’s most dangerous and congested train crossings. This project created safer, more reliable journeys for road users and commuters.
ecoDynamics’ role
Engaged by Indigenous-owned business Yarra Contracting, ecoDynamics VIC Landscaping delivered the soft landscaping project. This involved large-scale planting, establishment of rooftop garden beds, and extensive native revegetation works to complement the new transport infrastructure and improve the surrounding urban environment.
Scope of work
- 159 semi-advanced trees installed
- 0.7 hectares of native grass established
- 2x rooftop garden beds constructed
- 17,000 tubestock and 13,000 potted plants supplied and installed
- 7,200m² garden beds installed.
Completed in February 2024, ecoDynamics will maintain the site through to February 2026, ensuring successful plant establishment and long-term landscape resilience.

This design not only connects communities but beautifully reflects the cultural values and landscape of the Western Plains and Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country. It’s an outstanding example of turning functional infrastructure into meaningful, place-based design.
