Village Building Company were looking for a design that would accentuate and protect the native flora and fauna of their property at Beerburrum, as well as integrating the built and external environments.
Understanding how people live, work and play was crucial for the success of the Avoca Lakes project. In order to bring to life the vision for the project, creating a high-quality development with a natural spring as the focal point, we had to look at how design could influence the behaviours of the residents.
In order to bring about the level of densification required to make the project viable, THG were charged with demonstrating the value of bringing forward the construction of a railway station ahead of time.
The protected salt marsh environment on this site represented a highly sensitive ecological challenge for THG. Representing the interface between tidal and terrestrial environments, this inter-tidal fish nursery area required a comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan to mitigate against environmental damage.
Rehabilitation Management Plans are fast becoming a standard requirement for Councils approving development applications.
For this project, THG put together a park and drainage rehabilitation management plan for a new residential development.
