Stage 2 of the development, a crucial component of the government's Get Playing Plus program, elevated the park's offerings even further. Plans included five additional rectangular fields, four multi-purpose courts, a clubhouse, and essential amenities, the expansion is set to redefine the sporting landscape of the region.
Our involvement in the project centered on the detailed design of Stage 2 civil works for Council construction team. From seamlessly integrating the new development with the existing Stage 1 infrastructure to facilitating the creation of a new road at the eastern end of the site, our team ensured a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics.
The scope of our work extended beyond the design, encompassing active participation during the construction phase to provide support to the Council. From road works and car parking to stormwater drainage infrastructure and auxiliary services, every aspect was considered to meet the highest standards of quality and compliance.
Despite encountering various challenges along the way, including the imperative of achieving full Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliance and meeting revised stormwater objectives, our team remained steadfast in our commitment to delivering lasting value.
