Kalimna Park Estate is a residential subdivision situated in Highfields, delivering 360 lots over 12 stages with construction lasting 12 years from 2004 to 2016.
Kehoe Myers was engaged as the project’s Principal Consultant from the onset and was able to assemble and coordinate a strong local team to develop a detailed master plan of the estate. We undertook the development planning phase works. With direct input from the local land sales agent, this master plan was able to provide a holistic view of the area’s geography and utilise the strengths of the surface profile to conform to the current market demands and key drivers such as lot shape, and slope and size. This resulted in fully developed lots with sufficient room for a rear shed and good width frontage to depth ratios, as well as streets that utilised the horizontal and vertical alignment to increase road safety, allotment appeal and aesthetics.
Through sustainable design, the land was developed at a similar cost per lot to neighbouring developments whilst utilising a significant level of greenspace, with a greater visual appeal through making use of ample parklands, public-use spaces, significant-quality native street trees and great connectivity for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic throughout the development.
Through effective and comprehensive planning with the chosen development team, the outcomes that were achieved from concept to construction resulted in more positive outcomes for the Developers and increased value for money for the residents of the estate.
Engaging experienced Consulting Engineers to control the development process with the right multidisciplined team leads to greater results and more profitable outcomes for the team. This is proven by the higher sales prices in the estate than the adjoining developments.
