DESCRIPTION 270-Allotment Land Division
PROJECT PERIOD 2021-Present
PROJECT VALUE $12M

Woodforde Drive was a 14.87 ha housing development site for 270-allotments over 5 stages. MLEI undertook civil engineering for:

  • Stormwater management plan report for planning application
  • Infrastructure report
  • Project engineering and service authority liaison
  • Earthworks masterplan and concept design
  • Detailed Design – civil works, potable water & sewers, road pavement for new internal streets, new internal street lighting & electrical reticulation, telecommunications pit and pipe infrastructure.

**_VALUE ADD
_ ** We achieved savings by undertaking geotechnical investigation to inform the masterplan, which reduced rock variations risk and expense. Masterplan cut/fill volumes undertaken considering rock in soil profile (minimise cut on project) factoring in 20% of cut volume not usable as bulk fill. Allotments were benched to minimise retaining walls, with some allotments raised above road to balance cut/fill volumes considering impact on driveway grades.
