CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS
- Challenge – Value Add existing approvals to improve viability of project for the client
- Solution – ESQ Increased the lot yield, reduce costs by negotiating deletion of some development conditions.
- Challenge – The site has pockets of protected vegetation that are unable to be cleared.
- Solution – ESQ prepared a development layout cognisant of the areas of significant vegetation which allowed the development of precincts surrounded by vegetation. This provided secluded and aesthetically pleasing communities within the development and the ability to provide pedestrian links through the site via a pathway network that was not along road corridors.
- Challenge – Significant up stream stormwater catchment
- Solution – ESQ modelled an outcome that preserved the existing wetland function whilst ensuring a viable yield for the client.
