Our landscape architects and surveyors worked together to support rectification works at this popular trail on the Mornington Peninsula.
Client
Johns Lyng Group / Parks Victoria
Location
Arthurs Seat, VIC
Spiire was engaged by Johns Lyng Group, on behalf of Parks Victoria, to map and audit approximately 1.5km of the Two Bays Walking Trail that had experienced significant erosion.
At its full extent, the trail stretches 26km from Dromana to Cape Schanck, traversing through Arthurs Seat State Park and Mornington Peninsula National Park.
Following flooding events, a section of the path on the side of Arthurs Seat had washed away and was no longer safe for walkers.
Our Surveying and Spatial team provided a feature and level survey and used a 360 camera to capture the conditions traversing the trail in rich detail.
This laid the groundwork for landscape architects from our Gippsland and Melbourne offices to develop a construction methodology and set of detailed construction drawings to guide future restoration works. This was informed by our specialist in-house knowledge of landscape construction and maintenance.
This project built on an established methodology, process and set of deliverables we had previously developed through prior work with Parks Victoria, including trail upgrades within the Yallock-Bulluk Marine and Coastal Park and track rectification works in the Wilsons Promontory Southern Circuit.
Drawing on this experience with walking trails in complex sites, we developed practical and cost-effective outcomes. Our landscape architects responded to the complex needs of the project and site constraints, while considering community safety, user experience, management of sensitive ecology and cultural heritage.
Our team was praised for their ability to provide practical, efficient and responsive outcomes to the client, as well as building confidence that the project was set up for success in its construction stage.
