Spear Lily Park is situated in Ecco Ripley – a Five Star Green-Star rated Sekisui House development in Ipswich. The new park was named after a native plant and food source for Indigenous Australians found throughout the area.
Glascott delivered all elements of the park including Indigenous features that recognise the site’s history; the hand-carved sandstone seating, way-finding totem poles & bush tucker trail. Other features include garden beds and a custom lookout shelter with an insitu stainless steel compass.
The park opening combined Sekisui House Australia’s 10th Anniversary. Glascott provided trees for 10 families to ‘put down roots in a tree-planting ceremony.
Our sister business, Marsupial Landscape Management, provided warranty maintenance to establish & shape the site towards the desired long-term vision.

OUR STORY
Small beginnings and big dreams. That’s how our founder Matthew Glascott started The Glascott Group. His vision for the business was a reflection of his love of the land.
Matthew comes from a long line of farmers and graziers. His country-born and bred parents instilled in him a passion for plants, trees, and responsible management of the land.
Matthew’s dad, Joseph Glascott, was the first Environment Writer for Sydney Morning Herald and reported on Australia’s biggest environmental issues in the 1970s & 1980s.
Matthew is passionate about the environment and dedicated to his vision of creating quality open spaces that leave a lasting legacy.
