This Wel.Co masterplanned community will provide over 500 residential lots to the immediate north of the existing township when complete, enabling substantial growth in the town of approximately 1000 people.
Our local Adelaide office is leading an integrated project team providing civil engineering, construction consultancy and water engineering services for the 19-stage development. This includes designing creative solutions to service the future Gracewood community, which is one of the first residential developments of this scale in the region.
Our Water Engineering and Civil Engineering teams worked collaboratively to develop a considered stormwater management plan in response to the site’s terrain. After preliminary grading of the site revealed the need for up to 300,000 cubes of additional fill, our team worked together to identify an optimal drainage outfall solution, combined with creative road grading, to reduce this large quantity.
The estate’s stormwater management plan and detailed designs for the first two stages, consisting of 27 lots, have been approved. Stages 1 and 2 will be constructed together, along with the drainage basin, surrounding parklands, and an intersection with Traegar Road, which will be assessed by the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT).
Our local team will also provide construction consultancy services, with construction expected to commence in the second half of 2024.
