Local Aboriginal-owned business Indigenous Managed Services (IMS) has finished landscaping works for the Lakes Road roundabout at the Peel Business Park in Nambeelup.
The landscaping plan was developed in close consultation with local Bindjareb traditional owners, with its design reflecting the six seasons of the Noongar calendar.

All plants used in the design are species local to the Nambeelup area.
The 50-metre wide Lakes Road roundabout was designed to cater for an increase in traffic and to facilitate the safe movement of large trucks and other vehicles, as Peel Business Park continues to be developed into a significant industrial precinct.
Located about 10 kilometres north of Mandurah, Peel Business Park is an industrial estate owned by the state government that has been under development for several years, and features a solar powered microgrid providing power cost savings to businesses.
The industrial estate is part of the 35-year Transform Peel project, which aims to create new industries, employment hubs and improve food security in the Peel region, which is destined to become an innovation hub for the food and agricultural industries.
