Spiire was engaged by Pitman Properties to support the development application of a rural residential estate in Vernor.
Consultants from multiple disciplines formed the integrated project team, led by staff from our local team who live and work in Queensland, to prepare the documentation for Newfern estate.
Our Civil and Water Engineering teams delivered the stormwater management strategy and engineering design plans, which included an intersection with Old Fernvale Road. The team’s considered approach to providing two bioretention basins aimed to maximise the developable area and support our client to achieve the desired lot configuration.
Landscape architects based in our local Brisbane office designed the landscape masterplan. This included a streetscape design which was appropriate to the rural residential character of the surrounding Fernvale area, and wetland planting selected to suit the local south-east Queensland climate.
Our Visual Media team created a render to bring the client’s vision for the estate’s entry statement to life, which will be integrated into future iterations of the landscape design. This visualisation depicts an entry statement that complements the site’s rural setting, creates a sense of status upon arrival, and incorporates modern materials to add a contemporary feel.
After securing the development application approval, consultants from our Civil Engineering, Water Engineering and Landscape Architecture teams collaborated to produce a set of detailed operational works plans for approval by Somerset Regional Council.
This includes coordinating and designing upgrades to approximately 500 metres of watermain in order to supply drinking water to the estate’s 24 residential lots.
